    High Idle

    Recently installed an Audiovox cruise and checked valve clearances (no adjustment). My idle has been sticking at about 1500rpm lately and I haven't been able to figure it out. It starts and idles fine at 1100rpm, then after having rpms up for a few seconds, it comes back to a 1500rpm idle. I...

    Audiovox surging at slow speeds

    So I finally got around to installing my cruise control (audiovox) and took it for a test ride. It worked ok at 60-70mph, dropping off by about 5mph initially, then back to where I set it and stayed. Then the slow speed test had a lot of surging, constantly bouncing around the set speed of...

    Valve stems

    So I walked out the other day and heard this "tsssssssssssss" sound coming from somewhere. At first I thought it was that damn gay snake again, but upon further investigation I found it was coming from my rear tire valve stem. After 6 years I guess it finally had enough and dry rotted/cracked...

    Fork whine/squeak

    So I changed my fork oil today and now have a noise from the front when I compress the forks, it's a medium pitched whine going up and down in the fork travel. I couldn't tell which fork it was coming from. It doesn't do it if I push slowly, but a hard push and rebound and it's noticeable. It...

    Front wheel shimmy/hop

    Just got back from a weekend ride and started having front wheel shimmy or hop from about 85mph and up. It's not a constant thing, more like on one second, then off one second, repeat. I wiggled and pulled on the tire every way I could think of and didn't feel any slack or looseness in the...

    Engine mount re-torque

    So I've been having some buzzing in my handlebars. I thought it was normal but recently rented a klr for a day and discovered that it was as bad if not worse than the klr. I've changed spark plugs, done a tbs, have grip puppies, have a set of salamander bar end weights installed and am wanting...

    I need car repair advice

    My wife bought a 2007 nissan altima several months ago. Long story short it broke a few weeks ago, we were told we needed to replace a part which would cost us $1,000, which we did, then we still have the exact same problem. We took it back (dealership) and they looked at it again, didn't know...

    Bun burner gold

    I just finished a BBG ride and do not have any other rides with the IBA done. In order to vet the BBG certification do I have to submit this as a ss1000 first? If so I'm hoping I can use the same ride documentation to get the BBG award but the website was vague on that part. Thanks, and my ass...

    WTB: Stock bar end weights

    I am trying to install a set of salamander weights on my '05 and getting rid of the throttlemeister but found out that the throttlemeister uses a different compression thing inside the bar. Anyone have a set of the stock variety laying around they don't need?

    Stock windscreen modification?

    So went on the first real ride with the wife today. The bike did well but my head hurt from the buffeting I got on the interstate. I did search and read about the tuning blocks and aftermarket screens but am thinking of cutting vents into the stock screen to see if that helps. Anyone else to...

    The new addition

    Finally got the paperwork sorted today and picked up my new favorite toy :yahoo: Spent a couple hours running around town on it and am liking it, the only thing I miss about the zx-14 is the arm ripping power. Funny how you get used to having all that on tap, but the FJR isn't exactly a...

    Help me not get screwed please

    Looking at a 2005 with about 14k on it, non abs. The dealer is asking $7,500 for it. I'm thinking of offering $6,500 but prices on the internet seem to vary a good bit so I'm not sure what's fair. What do you guys think would be a good price for it? It looks ok, minor fairing scratches here...
