    2008 ticking and loss of power after TBS and basic maintenance

    I'm gonna jump on the band wagon of plugs. 1. Did you check the gap? The reason I ask this is because when I changed mine the gap was entirely way to short. Started the bike and it ran like piss. 2. Did you plug everything in the gas tank tight? The reason I ask is because I did not and of...

    Would You Perform 600 Mile Service Yourself?

    I personally would do it myself. Look at it this way man. If I myself a 22 year old man can rebuild a transmission inside a garage and hopefully not have messed it up. I think you can handle each and every service. Buy a service manual take your time and enjoy cussing a lot at the bike. You'll...

    I envy the fact you did this by yourself. Idk how because i'm sure I may have broke something. Were you at all scared to start it? I'm terrified to start the bike again. I'm positive I did everything right, but I'm still scared as shit :( Hello Kitty was collateral. She tried to help, but her...

I'm happy everyone is learning from this and to be honest i've learnt so much about how this machine works since doing this. I almost said no I wasn't going to do it, but...

    Pull the clutches and dip them in oil. That would eliminate clutches. Check your spark plugs too

    After four years

    First issue: How are the clutches? Soak them up it won't hurt a thing Second issue: I had the same exact problem but mine was due to pads being worn completely out causing the piston to come to far. How much pad life is left? If the prove good just watch the level and ride.
