easier said than done at times... i had a car pull out infront of me and had to do an emergency stop. the last thing i was thinking of was downshifting..... after yelling at the car driver, i noticed i couldn't get the bike into first... with traffic coming up quickly behind i was quite...

i'll try that... i've only had this problem on yamaha chain driven bikes to be honest. my old 03 honda shadow with 10k on it never has a problem going down in gears. i can always downshift at a stop without a problem. That double clutch problem seems to be normal in yamaha's too. I've...

I posted this on the other forum but i'm really beginning to hate my shifter. If i come to a light and forget to downshift, sometimes i can't get the bike in first gear. She'll stay in second. i have to either move the bike a couple of inches then try or rev... Sometimes when i'm in...

ivan said that the butterflies open faster with the fce installed because it makes the ecu think to constantly supply fuel. he said that is why his dyno sheet shows improvements under the curve. as for as fuel cut, i don't know if my bike really had this problem. i have an 06 and everyone...

same here... my buddy who has a phd in EE told me dropping a bead of solder to force the wire and connector to stick together is what they do. He also told me take sure there isn't any stress on the wires and make sure the solder was properly heat so the solder would be absorbed. sid

took about 3 hrs to do it right. I used the crimp and dropped a bead of solder onto the crimp to ensure that the wire and the crimp were going to properly stay together. that crimper is truly trash. u're trying to work in tight spaces and getting that crimper on there is pita. Ivan probably...

couple of things i would like to add. I'm just finishing up the install on my bike. You should keep a pair of tweezers handy. I drilled a pilot hole, then medium drill bit, then larger drill bit so when i started with the drill bit in your write up there wouldn't be any shavings in my head...

did the test tonight. at 80 mph on the dash the gps was reading 76. at 45 mph on dash gps read 42. how much are these speedo healers? makes me want to buy a 18t and have it dead on :)

what about moisture in the headlight after drilling? how do u prevent water getting in there from riding in the rain? Thanks, Sid

so there is no way of removing the exup motor without throwing a check engine light? Perhaps there is a resistor that we need to put in there. I hate leaving dead weight on the bike. thanks, sid

Ordered last week got it today. The kit comes with almost everything you need including a set of crimpers. My dad is an electrician for the Navy for 28 yrs so i was born with a pair of crimpers and solder iron. The crimpers that came with the kit IMHO is a POS and I would have rather saved...

mine came in today... as a matter of fact they were nice enough to send me two. i guess advanced replacement for the future ;) install was simple. looks almost like the stock battery except for this is yellow, and the post are screws instead of bolts. Car started right up and yes the...

i went to the store and bought 3 npt plugs. 2 1/2 inch and 1 3/8. I removed the ais and used the 1/2 npt plugs and plugged the hoses and then use a 3/8 to plug the airbox side. taped up the electrical connector to prevent moisture getting inside of it. total cost was 5 bucks and totally...

i need a new battery for my bike and i'm not going to pay the dealer 195 for the battery. i read some good stuff about motobatteries.com and they offer 2 yr warranty for 75 shipped. any reviews? thanks, sid

on the gen2 i notice the ais is also the crank case venting system. by plugging it up aren't we preventing crank case pressure from leaving the crank? and therefore increasing our chances of having blown crank and cam seals? i checked the hose going to the airbox and without the solenoid...

so are u saying u used the harbor freight ones fine? thanks, sid

billy, i was looking at my gen2 last night... there is a flat enough spot to pick the bike up by it swing arms without the spools. - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices they also have this piece that i was going to buy. I'm a wuss cause when i try to use the...

- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices i'm thinking of buying and getting a set of swing arm spools. Will this one work? Thanks, Sid

IT'S HERE!!!! i put my frame sliders on. It came with rear fender delete and upgraded LED tail lights. Only problem i had was showing off the lights and the bike wouldn't start. One thing i notice is in between shifts the bike bucks in between shifts until u give her more throttle. is...

thanks VA! i posted the same thread on the other forum and got banned because of an ebay link i used.... PITA. the plates are pretty though... So u guys using the marble method do u still disconnect the solenoid? I bet the easiest answer would be if anyone knew if the solenoid natural...
