Ok well I thought I was getting bad mpg due to ****** carbs. Got those re built and the same. This morning had to switch to reserve at 81 miles. Normal? I usually just ride to work which is honestly a crap ride. 10 miles lots of lights and stopping starting, I usually gun it a couple times but...

I am from England so not sure if this is normal but having lived over here for 8 years now I can say the US has some of the worst drivers I have ever seen. It is usually a gal doing nails or something but this morning totally different. Just chilling, driving to work, 545am or so. 2 lanes 45...

do not think it has anything to do with the breaks, maybe but I can notice it a little when going over bumps. Def sounds like it is coming from where all the cables/brakes are though. Very very annoying. I thought it was one of my cables hitting my radiator, but pretty sure that is no it. I am...

Hope this is not an issue as I seem to have found things that most others have - hard time finding neutral, wobble etc. Anyway I just noticed this tonight. When I brake i hear many little clicks. Now imagine the slight click you get when you use your front brake, if I brake sharp and my front...

Re: my inperfections - what would you do? good deal, im going to look into all that. Just got my bike back though so gonna enjoy riding it for a bit first haha

I am the exact opposite. Happens only in my tennis shoes, when I have my steel toe work shoes on I never miss. Like I said I think it is a matter of adjusting the shifter for me

hmmm. Well I have the 03 with the racing stripe paint. Stamp says made in 02 I believe but it is an 03, wonder if I have the changes? And I would like to see the rocket too

why? I have an 03 and hear people say 03 and newer all the time but why is that?

how did you go about that? Looks awesome

and mine is an 03 with 7000 on it

This only happens when i am not paying attention to me any way so do not think there is anything wrong. Only happened a few times and the jolt I am sure was my fault. The gear shifter is kinda high above my foot so I need to adjust it I think. I sometimes find it hard to get neutral but not as...

Just seeing how many of you mis from second to third. I seem to do this a lot. Last night i did and then put it in and was not in properly and kind of jolted me, was weird. Not sure why I struggle with it

also glad to hear the cold sneeze as you put it is normal. Does it very occasionally when warm but when cold without the choke quite a lot. with choke on does not do it at all, just get the exhaust pop. Anyway now she is running great I am moving on to my exterior defects that are annoying me

i agree it is a lot even with the discounts but good god i did not realize how much power I could gain! front end comes up very very very easy now, esp in 2nd

Re: my inperfections - what would you do? I was leaning towards powder coating to be honest so im going to look into that. What do you guys use to clean and detail your engines then?

Re: my inperfections - what would you do? Well the quick answer is that the guy who had it before me did not take good care of it and it sat in the rain. It is actually in great condition apart from those imperfections hence me wanting to put it right. It basically sat out in his yard for about...

these are oxidization on my scoops and sissy bar, thinking about powder coating them paint chip (also got a very small one on my "tank cover" that I can see a speck of rust through both my reservoirs look like this Dunno whats going on here, just coming off The bike full pic...

I am sure it would be a hell of a lot cheaper but I have 2 friends who build bikes and one the GM at yamaha who both told me they would not be confident messing with Vmax carbs.
