All 16- Turn Signals Delayed In Cold Weather? This past week I've been commuting and it has been 14 degrees F on my dash temp gauge. When I activate my turn signal in that cold, nothing happens, and if I wait, then the turn signal will start flashing normally.…

- Cold weather idle 4000 rpm why? After replacing the thermostat and unclogging the fast idle wax unit, the bike warms up quickly, no fluctuating RPMs, even in below-freezing (20s and teens degree F) temperatures. It was very easy to unclog the fast…
- Cold weather idle 4000 rpm why? kaldek, on 23 January 2011 - 06:32 PM, said: The way the fast idle wax unit SHOULD work is as follows: When hot, the plunger should expand When cold, the plunger should be shrunk, and it will pull on the air bypass…
- Cold weather idle 4000 rpm why? The fast idle wax unit was simply clogged. No valving or anything to affect directional flow in the wax unit. It's a straight-through path for the coolant to flow. Seems the coolant warms the wax idle unit by conduction…

- Cold weather idle 4000 rpm why? I replaced the thermostat but have suspended further re-assembly so that I can verify whether the fast idle wax unit is faulty. Anyone know about the flow characteristics of a disconnected wax unit at below freezing…

- Cold weather idle 4000 rpm why? I've ordered only a new thermostat/o-ring and will put those in and see if the idle issue goes away with the new thermostat installation. I don't mind if I have to go back and take apart the bike again and order a new…

- Cold weather idle 4000 rpm why? Ah thanks for the great info everyone! I'll allow the bike to show a temperature before riding off and see if that helps, otherwise I'll pick up a wax unit. I saw it at partsfish.com, but any suggestions for other…
- Cold weather idle 4000 rpm why? Hi all, Where do I start in diagnosing this problem (electrical, fuel, coolant)? 2002 VFR800 idles too fast during cold weather at a specific warming-up temperature range/condition, but is fine when cold starting or…
- Nail In My Rear Tire DougFromIndy Anyone got a YouTube link of Matt Mladdin riding out a rear flat a few years back??? I was very impressed, the guy is at high speeds, totally loses the rear tire, rides off the track through the sand and…
- Nail In My Rear Tire Does anybody have any real factual evidence about modern Z rated tires failing because of a plug failure? I've heard about "blowouts" but that has always been tales about old tires with innertubes, not the…
