  20. Pair Valve Plates For 5Th & 6Th Gens 30 Aug 2015 16:52 1ex, 2-3k rpm should IMPROVE with this mod; I think you have another issue oossibly an intake/metered air leak.

  22. 1998 Winter Overhaul 28 Aug 2015 04:13 Relay good, forgot about the start/stop switch. Also, I wonder if the tip sensor could be bad?
  23. 1998 Winter Overhaul 27 Aug 2015 20:37 OK, got the new (used) wiring harness installed, everything is working EXCEPT the fuel pump doesn't prime. Checked 30 amp fuse in the starter relay & it's good. Any suggestions? Edited August 27, 2015 by TNRabbit

  31. Exhaust Gasket Fitting To Aftermarket Pipes And Headers Issue 8 Aug 2015 13:25 I haven't seen any aftermarket slip-ons that have a gasket. It shouldn't be an issue.
  32. Wobble On Bumps Over 70 Mph 11 Jul 2015 14:13 Check head bearing torque. Wih the front off the ground, should require about 5-10 lbs of force from the fork tube to move the fork.

  43. 1998 Winter Overhaul 17 May 2015 21:41 Veefer800Canuck I've got mine mounted in the exact same place, but it's wired into the power leaving the ignition keyswitch, so it automatically goes on and off whenever you start the bike. No possibility of forgetting…

  47. 1998 Winter Overhaul 16 May 2015 18:29 Son of a bitch! That was it~ Thank you! I only had to pop the back half of the throttle bodies off pull it through and poke it out the other side. Not so bad...putting it back together now.
  48. Help Me Better Understand My Suspension And When It Needs Work. 16 May 2015 11:28 If I mostly ride the twisty back roads, would it be worth it to buy a rear shock (929 conversion or stock re-valve) or a fork cartridge Kit or spring/re-valve from DMr? I would do the forks first.
  49. 1998 Winter Overhaul 16 May 2015 02:46 KevCarver MAP? Right rear of air box on the underside, if it is. Should be reachable with everything in place, tank up. [image: post-27845-0-05069500-1431744357.jpg] Already in place^^^
