I have only riden my vmax so I dont have anything to compare to but when I am accelerating through a turn or from a stop light if have like maybe an 1/8 of a throttle turn with no input then it catches and gives your arms a good yank, other than this the bike seems to run good. I have a UFO...

I have been having this wondering weave type issue that would come and go after riding for a while,almost temp related at times but really inconsistant. I ended up replacing the steering head bearings after checking several things, I even put a new front tire on it cause it had a...

Is anyone running a 180 rear tire on a stock rim? will it fit? I have a notched/braced swingarm so clearance shouldnt be an issue but will the rim hold that wide of a tire? Thanks

Its time for a new front tire, as my decel wobble has been traced back to be front shinko tourmaster and its near 1/4" wobble, rim is straight but the tire seems to almost have a bubble like a seperation or something. So I have narrowed my option down to either a pirelli sport demon or a...

I did a search and didn't come up with anything definitive. Can you adjust/torque the swing arm pivot bolts/nuts with the rear wheel/tire on the bike? does the rear have to be off the ground? I am getting a weird feeling that seems to be coming from the rear,feels like the rear is skating around...

I did a search and didn't find anything real similar. I am synching my carbs with the vacuum guage style tool, I can get the left carbs in synch with each other and the right side carbs in synch with each other but the left side guages are readings 15-17" and the right side guages are reading...

Has anyone tried this fuel tank sealer? http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/epoxygas.htm I am starting to get so much rust and crap from my tank it is time to do something about it. I have read mixed reviews about all the sealer kits but this one has mostly good reviews. Has anyone tried this...

I had the rear brake stay bar off. The one that goes from the swingarm to the rear caliper bracket. Out of curiosity, how tight do you guys tighten those bolts to? I would imagine they are supposed to pivot pretty easily. Any ideas? Richard

I am thinking this is an electrical issue. Last night on my way home which is about a 15 mile ride, I got about 14.5 miles and turned into my neighborhood and when I went to accelerate after the turn the bike had no power and started backfiring out the exhaust, I pulled over and the bike would...

Ha does anyone know if Gary McCoy is still in the business of motorcycle parts? I tried emailing him at the address I have for him and it came back as undeliverable:confused2:

I purchased a set of used RMS Torque Rod frame braces but they did not come with instruction or the tab to weld in since they are used. The tab I am not worried about because I can get those locally but what I am looking for is someone who is running these braces, who can provide an upclose...

Has anyone tried one of these lift tables? I am considering purchasing one. http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-air-hydraulic-motorcycle-lift-94121.html http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-motorcycle-lift-91764.html...

I was riding to work this morning, I had gone about 12mile when all of a sudden the bike shut off, not a spudder then died shut off, more like someone hit the off button kind of shut off, all guages and light went out. I pulled the clutch in and coasted into a parking lot, I peaked around at...

I am going to check and reset the torque on my swing arm but I have a couple questions. Can I do this with the bike on the side stand or do I have to remove the rear wheel to accurately set the torque? Thanks Richard

I have a guy local to me that is selling his ufo dragstar exhaust for $500 and since he is local there is no shipping. So do you think I should go for it? The loud factor is not an issue, with me or the cops around here. Let me know your opinions. Thanks Richard

I remember a post a while back about someone using wave rotors bought off ebay and having good luck with them. is this the guy who they were bought from or do these rotors look decent...

I am not sure if this post should be here or in another section but, I am noticing after a hard accel, like after a little stop light to stop light race, the rear end feels loose, almost like the road is slick, but I dont see any leaks and all the obvious items are tight, any ideas? I tried...

Does anyone know what size the bolts are for the engine covers? I want to replace the black ones with silver or chrome as an accent. Also will I have to replace the gaskets if I just replace the bolts one at a time and dont break the seal? Thanks in advance for any help Richard

Do lowered forks take less fork oil, I lowered my front end 2" with race tech internals and I put 20 oz of fork oil in each fork, after I was done this above question came to me. Anyone know if forks lowered internally should take less oil? I think maybe tonight I will set the fork level to the...

I have a question about installing lowering blocks in the front forks. Should I put a washer between the lowering block and the rebound spring? or does the spring just sit right on the lowering block? Thanks Richard
