Ok literally suited up and on my way out but i wanted to ask one more thing, before I don't and it's too late at night...For all I know, this has ALWAYS been going on, never really checked before. My homemade exhaust, where midpipe meets my homemade cans, isn't quite airtight. No noise, but...

I did say earlier I could hear tone change. Especially going more rich. Til about 25-35, after that no changes even up to 140 or whatever the ridiculous number I tried was. But, going more lean, this is first I tried. Very hard to tell past 0 going negative...every few seconds you get a tiny...

So yeah...I figured the balance is most important, but I was still trying to get close to the numbers. FWIW: The CO adjustment had no effect on the vacuum. Tried adjusting it while running, no difference between -20 and +20. Tried shutting it off and back on, in case the numbers had to be...

All makes sense except I guess I'm confused by the 4 air screws actual function. You said as I richen, vacuum drops. But when I'm screwing in the 4 air screws, in raises vacuum. Isn't screwing in lessening the air, or, richening? Or is it a function of the electronics, that when I let in...

Thanks for the Bar recc. Who knows I may try it and I appreciate it. Randy...ok I will try that. But what I also got to thinking is what about the idle screw. Seems that it also changes the amount of air available to all. I think I might try playing with that As well. All 3 idle, co, and...

So....Thank you for that first of all. I did check all of them, everything seems to be fine. With the gauges hooked up, it is way easier to see what is going on. Here's what happens: If I actually try for 8.6 inHg I can barely get it, on cylinder 1, seems like the rest I can't quite get...

Looks like seals on the right are definitely smaller than on left, as with middle, they grow in size 4 from bottom middle are smaller vs. 4 from top middle. Anyways, a lot of the time these are "stock photos" and don't change with the actual product you are receiving. But, in this case, looks...

Hi all. Have a few things here just collecting dust, all from my 2007 FZ6 S2, all fine usable condition... Front and rear sprocket (I changed tooth count, these have a lot of life left) Stock seat, no tears, no butt fatigue, very good condition The silver exhaust cowl (though it's painted...

As for the Shims, what's my best bet? There's the 47 piece for 47$ (yes, 7.48mm) 1.2mm-3.5mm , same thing but over 140 pieces, for 80$. Sure, more, better value, but what have other's experiences been? I would think get the largest kit? Lots of bikes use shims, not like they go bad...

I thought about it. But, honestly it's only an hour or two extra, putting all that back on and taking it off one more time. And, the radiator is still all attached and full right now, I'd like that all the way off for the valves. I will have to be back in there in a month or so anyhow (still...

Ya shipping can be the pits. I just sold a tube amp I made, 120 lbs, all one chassis, a real beast. We trusted fed ex to pack hoping they would try to "take care of their own "....they dropped it (I don't know why they would even carry 120lb? Use a hand truck..,). Took me over a year to...

It's always the things I'm really looking forward to receiving, that seem to get caught up. Went to check the tracking on the gauges today, and they hadn't shipped! I said to myself, well I guess it's a sign to try and shop locally, a good thing to do anyhow. Got off work at 4:30 and spent...

As always, thanks to both of ya. I completely agree. And it's why I like asking, and this forum. There's stuff I know and am happy to share if/when asked, and there are things I don't, but want to. Sometimes the info is a quick "check this", and other times it's a bit much to just write...

Hey guys, one more thing, then off to a Job for the day (putting in architectural posting/fencing in the rain, YAY!!). I was looking at youtube videos, it seems like no one does the 4K part of the sync....seems I remember that from before...but anyway that's not the point, I found this device...

Understood, Randy, about the screws. Makes sense, although, my idle was nice before. Listen to the soundclouds, it's a good idle even if I hadn't done the wheel. And no, Scott, sorry for the mixup. I was not saying that anything had changed in the last day or two. I was saying to Randy hat...

Randy, I'm doing the caps right now. None were "loose", but looks like a bit of wire detereoration, so hopefully it will help.... In that thread, you show your 4 plugs (original dual ground strap) and #2 having a bit more deposits than the other plugs. I coldn't find any mention of what you...

Hmm...well it's definitely worth a shot. It is not happening any more above 4500 RPM though. From Idle on up. But yes, when I get the chance I will check them completely. Have they're been many reports of problems on the coil side, as well? Thanks again, Loren

Thanks. I also like to keep my idle low, around 1200. And yeah, I understand the octane difference, I just didn't think it would make that much of a difference in a static environment, as long as the two being compared were both known to be ok for the engine under normal circumstances. I...

Thanks Guys... Scott, I am surprised you say that you doubt the handlebar kill switch could kill the entire ignition. Before this, the only problem I ever had with the bike was that switch. Showed up feeling like slipping clutch at high RPM. I happened to be perusing posts, saw someone else...

FinalImpact, I'm glad you had me make the recordings of the new exhaust. Going back and listening, there is definitely a lack of smoothness. The vibration I feel in the handlebars now, at low RPM testing in the garage, I don't think was even there when I left on that trip. Feeling it today as...
