Re: Daytona Bike week spring break 2011!

yea i like the fit of this tank bag. It is the bigger motocentric bag that has is the tie on because you obviously cant get the magnetic since the tank cover is plastic. It fit really well. The only complaint i have is that the straps broke on the trip which is a shame because I really love the bag....

Re: Daytona Bike week spring break 2011!

Yea it was quite the trip for sure.. I saw that FZR as well but didnt get any pictures of it. I made sure to swap out the regulator before i left to avoid any problems. I put a new R6 one in and put an extra sheet of metal underneath to dissipate the heat. I was very surprised at how comfortable I w...

Daytona Bike week spring break 2011!

Hello Everyone! I thought that I would share some of my pictures from my spring break adventure last week. So my buddy (the one with the Harley Sportster) contacted me in February and asked me what I was doing for spring break and I had no plans established so we decided it needed to be something th...

Re: Bike sputters and DIES!

Ok thank you very much! So the new VR came in the mail today and I plan on putting it on tonight but I realized that the directions that are on the WIKI are for a 5 prong VR. I bought an 07 VR and it has 6 prongs. Does anyone know how to connect this one up? Thank you in advance

Re: Bike sputters and DIES!

So i ended up running through the diagnostic test and I think its the VR. When I went to pull it off the plastic connector was actually melted and fuzed to the prongs. I ordered a 07 r6 VR off ebay. Just to confirm, any r6 VR will work for the swap right? I couldnt find anything that said a specific...

Re: Bike sputters and DIES!

Yea. The tail has been changed though to the airtech tail and the original VR style VR is in there. idk if it has been replaced but what I was thinking was that it was not getting enough air back there on the frame underneath the airtech tail and overheating. Should i replace it with the r6 VR and t...

Re: Bike sputters and DIES!

I am familiar to cars and have done extensive maintence on cars but am new to bikes. My thought was that the VR is not getting enough air flow and...

Bike sputters and DIES!

Hello All, I was on my way into work the other day and when i stopped at a red light the bike sputtered and died. I couldnt get it started again because it clicked like the battery was dead. I was able to push the bike into a parking lot, pop the clutch and continue on my way. When I got out of work...

Re: integrated tail prob....

Hi everybody... I have a similar problem in that when I put the signal on for either left or right they both blink and it looks like I have my four ways on. I decided to do what reelrazor did and bought a set off license plate turn signals and was going to call it a day but it does the same thing! ...
