    No idle and high idle problem

    Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500 Has anyone else seen this? The recall is for Vmax. 'All Gen 2 owners, please be aware of the following warranty recall notices: I just received the October issue of Motorcycle Consumer News and read of a recall on the '09 Vmax. 700 Units were affected...

    No idle and high idle problem

    Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500 Hi everybody, Nowadays I visit quite rarely on this forum but coincidentally I came here today and noticed the latest post. Unfortunatelly I must tell that the problem has not been solved totally. Over 20000 km went well but last summer I got once over...

    3M Scotchprint 1080 Carbon has someone else used?

    1. Bend is CR Mid with stock brake lines. The Pro Taper handlebar and Rox Risers I purchased a week ago from USA. 2. Grips are a little harder than stocks and they are Daytonas (sold by KTM? in USA)

    Once more and then I don't bother you with my 'carbons' for a while.

    3M Scotchprint 1080 Carbon has someone else used?

    I didn't use any primer or anything else, just cleaned painted/lacquered surfaces with break cleaner and plastics with xylene. Without primer or edge sealer it's easy to take the film off just by warming it. On tight bendings it might be good to use primer on plastic surfaces but NOT on...

    Weird Vibration While Slowing

    Is your bike new? If not the reason may be loosen spokes too. I got just same feelings on low speeds when I had loosen spokes. I tightened the spokes and problem disappeared. Edit: Sorry, the answer had come just before I sent the reply.

    Pilot Road 3's...what kind of mileage are folks getting?

    I got about 7,400 miles on my PR3 rear, quite hard riding and mostly 2-up with full panniers. The original Tourance Exp ran about 4,400 miles. So I think that you can ride your trip and after that you will still have plenty of tread left. But check the tire pressure and fill a little more than...

    3M Scotchprint 1080 Carbon has someone else used?

    How easy? What to say? At least in the beginning not so easy but practising makes a master. You need a lot of patience a knife a hair drier and two hands. If you had three hands (one can be your wife's) it would be even better. ;) A credit card to bye wrap film and to use it as a tool. And a...

    3M Scotchprint 1080 Carbon has someone else used?

    I tried to coat some practising pieces. Pictures are not good because I can't take bikes out, we have winter now. My S10. And my son's V-strom.

    Have you had the hard start problem?

    I think the pressor sensor is in the pump.

    No idle and high idle problem

    Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500 Ho ho ho snakebitten, I said only 'a little'. Otherwise I really like my bike and especially it's handling and balance. And now I don't see any other better choise. But it's not as reliable as my earlier Suzuki and Honda. This is my experience and maybe...

    No idle and high idle problem

    Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500 Time will show is Yamaha's explanation right. However the symptons which you have described are so similar as my s10 had. Except I have about 400km to the sea but we have a lot of lakes here in Finland. :lamp: Though in my case it had nothing to do with...
