I tried as well to get on the other site but it was a "no go". Even when it was up, it still took a while for him to respond. I eventually got a hold of him and got my adapter. I'll try and see if I can somehow find his email address.

I would first check and remove your plugs to see the condition. Or while the bike is idling and up to temp, check each header pipe to make sure all the cylinders are firing. Sounds like it is running lean if the pipe looks like it's burning. Check the fuel line under the tank to make sure that...

Morning Delbert, I will assume that the chain is clean and lubed. What's the condition of the rear sprocket? Is it the original? Also, have you removed the rear wheel for any reason? Could be just a bit out of alignment. Once a year I remove the front sprocket cover just to clean all the grime...

There is definitely a specific order in which the plates are installed. Check out this video. It will give you the order in which the steel plates and fiber plates are installed.

Hey Delbert! Good to see you back. It shouldn't take you too long to read through all the new threads. It's been kind of slow as of late. Happy top see some of the originals still around the stomping grounds!

Bought it with 1,200 miles on it and currently at 22,600 and counting.

Welcome and congrats on your new ride. Best of luck with it.

You should first check that the stator magnets didn't break loose. Remove the brake side engine cover to inspect.

Did you do the SV Style headlight or was that how it came from the P.O.? Looks nice, best of luck with it.

I guess you could test the resistance in the coils, however, some issues with coils only show up at temperature.

Hard to say with no further history. Have you had the tank up for any reason? If so it's possible that the fuel line is kinked which is a common problem. Also, if you have one of those temperature laser guns, just let the bike idle for five or ten minutes and check each exhaust header to see...

Congrats on the new ride. What color scheme did you get? The Black/Yellow? Those colors are wicked on that bike.

First Gen Bikes are easy. Just put it up on the center stand, have someone push down on the rear of the bike and slide a regular "gallon size" paint can under the exhaust header and you are ready to work!

I'd say that aside from the valve inspection, that a throttle body sync is in order by now. That should hopefully cure some of that choppy idle. And I believe that the first valve inspection should have been at 26,000 miles.

I am trying to remember my 01' but I believe that it's on the brake side behind the small side panel that's clipped on that side. Right below the seat.

That's sweet! Oh okay, Saratoga. I'm planning to get up to Wilton NY to see the Grant Cottage at some point when they open again. Have fun and be safe!

I'm seeing you Doogie, exactly where the post should be. You probably don't realize that it's been quiet here lately but your post has over 16 views so you posted correctly. Good looking GenI. I miss my 01' . In any case, welcome aboard.

Great to have you aboard. What year do you have, and where are you in upstate?

That's the strangest thing. I've never heard about that happening. Error codes sure, but inconsistent speedo never. By chance is the bike stock? Is there anything added such as a Speedo-Healer? Just curious.
