I had the ME880 (worked ok) then the ME888 (scary...tire slipped and spun on dry roads). Needed to try something different and went with the Avon AV72 170 in the rear and has been the best for traction and wear. The tire changed the way I ride...faster in the turns and with way more...
this was exactly how my bike was running. I tried everything and then changed the caps on the plugs. bought the ngk straight caps and an accel wire from the auto parts store. cut the wire to length and used some dielectric grease. the bike runs great now even when the temp is in the hot...
its ngk sd05f straight type. I'm not sure how to post pics but this is a link to what it looks like

I bought them from ebay, about $4.50 each. Keep in mind that I seem to have lost some power due to the resistor cap and...
I've been fighting with a rough idle for a long time and read all the posts about this on the forum. When the bike gets past the "normal" operating temp...close to the red but never overheating it would run rough and sometimes stall at lights and intersections...not good or safe!
I received...
When you say the magnet triggers are you talking about the pick up coil? or the 4 pieces of metal on the flywheel that pass the pu coil. I don't want to hijack the thread but my bike runs bad when hot and my pu coil was out of spec when hot. Sean M. sent one and I changed it but it still runs...
I've been fighting with my 99 vmax for a few years thinking it was a problem with the carbs. The bike runs rough when warmed up and in stop and go traffic. It would stall at lights and at intersections when hot. tried all the cleaning methods recommended on the forum and synced the carbs a...
How is the plate getting hooked on the tire? May have been bent in a bit prior to the ride.
I HAD a plate mounted in a chrome cover and went for a fast run on the parkway. The next day I had a bike rally in NYC and realized the plate and bracket broke off. Rode in the rally (police escorted)...
i can't even leave the driveway on long island with the quad. we drive to PA. just to ride for the day and the one close (3 hr.) place just closed down. There is a few other places in PA. that are available near the coal mining towns but without the local knowledge on where to park without...
I've been averaging 115 miles before the light comes on. This is after adjusting the carbs...sync is so important if the bike runs rough. It will take 3 gal to fill. The bike is stock with supertrapp slip ons.
I have the hjc carbon fiber helmet. It is nice and lite and I've worn it on 100mi to 400mi days without it feeling heavy at the end of the day. Of course the rest of me hurts after the long ride...i was younger once! I just mounted speakers in the helmet and my ears don't feel cramped. its...
i've had the metzler 170 on for over a year and haven't seen any wear on the tire or shaft casing. i read about the washer swap but never had to do it.
