    Won't Rev to Redline???

    I installed the COPS about a month ago, and I must say... What a difference!!! Bike is running like a champ now. It was only last weekend that I finally had the chance to really run all the way through the RPM range.... Many times lol. No more hiccups or sputtering. Runs clean all the way to...

    Won't Rev to Redline???

    blaxmax, Did I order them from you on Ebay? I feel much better knowing they're coming from a forum member. :eusa_dance:

    Won't Rev to Redline???

    All my plug boots (caps) are in bad shape. I went to the dealer to order plug wires and boots... They want $100 for them! I found a set of COPS on Ebay, so I went ahead and ordered them. Do I have to remove anything else besides the airbox to access the front coils?

    Won't Rev to Redline???

    Hey guys, it's been a while since on the forum. Last season, shortly before winter storage I noticed that my bike won't rev past 8500 - 8700 rpm when running through the gears. Feels like the bike is not getting enough air, and sputters almost like it has a rev limiter. Seems like it's getting...

    Oil leak on stator cover, and not charging good.

    I get 12.9V on battery, however it has only been unplugged from tender for 1 day. And I get 13.8V with engine turning 2500 - 3000 rpm. When I run the fan, the bike don't want to idle, and I already have the running lights unplugged and a LED tail light. The battery was new start of season last...

    Oil leak on stator cover, and not charging good.

    I went for an overnight ride about 300 miles each way over the weekend. On the way out I noticed oil all over the side stand when I arrived. Turns out the gasket is leaking on the top of stator cover and running down the side of the bike. When I got home, the leak worse by now, I plugged in the...

    Rear rotor upgrade

    Thanks guys. I wish I would have posted before I ordered the new rotors. Could have saved a few bucks. I bet that's all that's wrong with them. They have been off a bike for 4-5 years. Well, the new ones are already shipped, so I guess I'll have to get an adapter to fit one on the rear. Who...

    Rear rotor upgrade

    With only one warm day last week, I finally had a chance to ride the bike for about a half hour only to find out that one or both the front rotors is warped:damn angry:. I guess that's what I get for buying used. So, I figured might as well bite the bullet and ordered brand new rotors (same...

    Rear rotor upgrade

    Should have known to include pics. Notice the snow in the background. I managed to get ride around the block, but it's still going to be a little while before I get a good ride in.

    Rear rotor upgrade

    I finally got around to installing my new front and rear rotors today. It was easier than I thought it would be. Rotor bolts came right out using an impact wrench. I see how you can strip them using a rachet. A few on the front took a little while to break loose. Big thanks to everyone who...

    brake disc bolts snapped advise

    I have an electric heavy duty impact drill/driver and also a big electric impact wrench for removing car wheels. Would the impact wrench be too powerful and strip the bolt heads?

    Rear rotor upgrade

    That looks great on the larger wheel! I thought about doing that, but thought it would look a bit too big on a stock rear wheel. I'm also trying to do it on a small budget. Wife said I spent too much $$$ on the bike last year.

    Thanks. I will give it a try. Now, if all the snow would just melt:bang head:.
