Hard Start/Rough Idle when cold

Ok guys, I havent been on here in a while mostly cause of school and haven't done very much riding lately. However, the last few times Ive gone out, my bike doesnt want to start and idles really rough till it warms up. Once its warm it runs like a champ. I did put a YZF600 V/R in a few months ago. Y...

I hear the Tiger endorsement is like an extra 5hp. Thats pure speculation though.

Re: What's your MPG ?

I get right about 48mpg every tank. Heavy on the throttle. Only mod that would effect mileage is a Yoshimura slip on. about 8k miles on the motor.

Re: few other things about my bike

look at the bright side, you always have fresh oil! J/K definitely do a compression test. Thatll let you know. I would suspect youre burning oil.

Re: Changing Oil - choosing the right oil

good thread, I changed my oil a few weeks back and ended up going to a suzuki shop (only one around). I bought suzuki oil but I'm thinking the suzukis might be slightly different because now my clutch slips. Might be a dumb Q but where can I get that Rotella oil?

Re: VR Q

OK, yeah, just ordered a YZF VR. So, hopefully it wont catch on fire before the new one gets here. I might actually park the bike till then. Not really into melting my new tail either....

VR Q

When I installed my airtech tail I remounted the VR like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/fropleyquark/IMG_1047.jpg I know they get hot so I wanted to make sure it was getting enough air under the tail... so, I decided to touch it after about 30 min of riding. Well, not really a good ide...

Re: Fork spring replacement

Yes, in a nutshell. You'll probably have a hard time just draining the oil. Some model forks dont have drains other with tend to be stuck. However, before you do anything, I would HIGHLY recommend you take a good look at the how to stickied at the top of this page. I used it and had no problems. I w...

Re: Airtech Tail w/ 03 R6 Undertail Photos

Alright Rage, If youre ever in MS, I owe you a beer... or 3. I followed your lead and just finished my install this morning. However you figured to use rebar caps is beyond me but I dont think anything could have worked better. I did the same thing you did with the threaded rod for holding the seat ...
