    06? for $4500 in KC

    Found this on CL this morning. Says it's a 96 but sure looks like an 06 to me. Could be a smokin deal for someone just outside Kansas City. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/mcy/3070855811.html

    Float sticking sporadically

    Hey all, one of my floats is sticking every now and then. Just started recently when I turn the key on and everything is cycling, the fuel pump will just keep on running. I will turn it off and tap each carb til it stops. It will also cure itself if I get it out and really crank through the...

    Kudos to Python Motorsports

    Hey all, long story short I laid the bike down Monday evening. Somehow, the only damage was to the left bar end mirror and the stator cover. I had just gotten the polished stator and clutch covers as a set over the winter from Python. I emailed Tom and he was nice enough to actually change...

    Wave rotor for rear

    Hey all, got a set of wave rotors for the front and one for the rear to install. My bike is an '04 and I am going to use the stock calipers. For anyone that has changed their rear to a wave, is there anything besides an adapter that is needed, i.e. longer line or what not? Thanks.

    CBR light mod

    Hey all, was thinking about painting my bike, but instead I'm pulling the trigger on some Tyga stuff. I currently have a chopped rear fender w/o a tail light. The cbr mod looks like the way I want to go, but have a couple of questions. 1. Can you get this light w/o the integrated turn...

    Cleaning a/f screw and spring

    Hey all, I am in the middle of doing the shotgun on the carbs. What does everyone use to clean up the a/f screw and spring? Mine has the white chalky looking buildup on it. Also, how can you tell if the end of the screw is damaged from being bottomed out too hard? Thanks.

    Carb/manifold clamp fix

    Hey all. I was trying to get my bike dialed in better today and changed out my mains. Put everything back together and noticed the boot for #4 was not tightening all the way down. Tried to pull the rack back off and couldn't get it to come off that carb. Figured it must be tight enough and...

    Vboost off for carb tuning?

    Hey all. I recently put on an IXIL exhaust like KJ's and now I am running pretty rich. Was going to try and get it dialed in this weekend but had a few questions. After looking at the factorypro website about tuning cv carbs, I was wondering if the vboost makes it harder to choose the main...

    IXIL exhaust-thanks KJ

    After seeing KJ's video on his exhuast, I ordered one from Indysuperbikes. I already had a Hindle 4-2-1 and wanted a different can. KJ wasn't kidding, this thing is LOUD. :punk: All of the IXIL cans are the same, with different fittings for particular bikes. I ordered one for the Suzuki Gladius...

    Custom bike builder

    Hey all, not vmax related but still pretty cool. This guy's shop is just behind the business where I work. Needless to say, I am over there quite a bit checking out his projects. The Kawabusa's that he builds are pretty badass. Lately he's been concentrating on the trikes, but does have a new...

    Pipe sizes

    Hey all, was just wondering what size everyone's aftermarket exhaust sytems were. My Hindle 4-2-1 has 1.5" od pipes that end up as a 2" od pipe. How big are the Marks and Kerkers? What about stock? If it would make a big difference in performance, I would definitely consider getting a different...

    Kids riding gear

    Hey all, I don't know if anyone has had as much trouble as me trying to find riding gear for kids. Helmets and gloves are pretty easy, but decent jackets and boots and such are almost non existant. I found this store that is in England called babybiker.com. They have everything you could ever...

    A/F screw adjustment question

    Hey all, I am trying to get the bike dialed in as good as possible. When setting the a/f screws does anyone ever hook up the carb sync to watch each cylinder? Reason I ask is that I don't notice a whole lot of difference once I start untightening the set screw on the a/f. I can tell when it's...

    Brake upgrade questions

    Hey all, I have been reading as many threads as I can about upgrading the brakes. I have an 04, so the R1 doesn't really appeal to me. Also, I'm not fond of the blue or gold inserts on those. What I'm looking at is the 6 pots off an FZR or YZF bike. I know they're kinda hard to come by, but...

    Throttle tube

    Hey all, I am still trying to figure out why there is so much free play with my ss motion pro throttle cables. One thing I noticed when checking everything out was that the holes on the throttle tube where the cables actually attach are different sizes. Or at least they are on mine. Does anyone...

    Throttle cable question

    Hey all, quick question. On the throttle cables, do the cables that have the adjustable barrel nuts connect to each other? Reason I ask is that since I put the ss lines on, there has always been a crap load of free play on my throttle. When I installed them, I just assumed those two ends...

    Free stainless braided hose

    Hey all, I am cleaning out some stuff in my garage and have a piece of the braided stainless hose to be used for a crankcase breather system. Just put Sean's kit on my bike and had to order longer than I needed from Summit. The length is a few inches longer than you will need so it can be cut to...

    Valve cover direction

    Hey all, I adjusted my valves today because I had two leaking valve cover gaskets and figured what the hell. Everybody wasn't joking, this job SUCKED. Anyway, got it all done and am ready to put everything back together. Problem is, I didn't pay alot of attention to the orientation of the...
