Gents: Sometime ago there was a nice thread about getting rid of the buzzing taht comes from the instrument pannel. Took the front apart, ready to apply "silica" generous amount to fix the buzzing. If I go to home depot or wal mart or whatever, do I just pick up any bottle of "silica" to...

How do I raise the idle ? Sorry ... Im a newbie mechanic. I really have no idea. But Im learning !

Ok ... will do! Have to take them, and then figure out how to post. But its the red rocket and its sweet. Say ... with the PC III in there is it normal for it to idle at just 1,000 RPMs ? Seems low ... ? no ?

Based on forum, went with Two Brothres carbon fiber slip on, K&N filter, PCIII, red soft grips, Pazzo RED levers (long), and Cee Baileys light tinted medium shield and wow. What a difference. Well worth it, runs just great. Wonderfull all around motorcycle. rocketship. Thakns all, well worth...

Krap. So many sfreakin crews. It wouldnt be that bad but its not like I have someone holding the tank up. Sigh. Krap ... there goes another 1-2 hrs (I go slow) Well, I rode it to work today (40 miles) and now have to go back. hopefully, I didnt hurt the engine. Regradless, glad I...

Guys: If I wanted to find a shop, Irvine or south (all the way to San Diego if needed) that I can purchase a power commander III from, have them dyno tune the bike, put in higher flow air filter, etc any recommendations from cost effective (ie fair) and trustable shops ? The ones I know dont...

Gents: Ive read the power commander posts. TWo questions. In lamens terms, what does a power commander do ? What am I paying $350 (or whatever) it is for ? Oil/air/fuel mixture ? And is it "adjustable" ? Does the map come with instructions or rather " .... use this map for the...

I tell ya, for a newbie mechanic, I'm loving it. Making mistakes, but hey thats what makes my bike...my bike. Plus its nothing major. Cosmetic at best. So, installed the Two Brothers carbon slip on + just drilled out my striped plastic scew and installed the tallest Cee Bailyes blacked out...
