Last 50 of 151- Possible fueling problems Come on Greg, nobody is telling you the shut the fuck up. You should know by now I appreciate who you are. I just find it strange you're caught up on this. And, as for "flawless" performance, I've shown you a video of…
- Possible fueling problems 2 hours ago, carlgustav @MM; I ran the motor at idle just long enough to put a piece cardboard over the header outlet, tight, and she did not stall or die. However, holding a small piece of kleenex with a roach clip…
- Possible fueling problems Yeah, I just rode at lunch after clearing my maps, let it correct again after plenty of cruising at 5K rpm. It corrects enough to run lean now. Really smooth, good throttle, and consistent. If you have the filter and…
- Possible fueling problems Could you do me a favor? Before you pull the headers, at least check them for leaks. That's the one thing that could be off with a fresh set of pipes. Just plug the tailpipe and see if the bike shuts off. That's how I…
- Possible fueling problems I don't disagree with the FPR and age. I replaced mine early on when I did my injectors on similar grounds. I had no clue that it was bad and, frankly, it was probably fine. I've kept it as a spare. But I was there so I…
- Possible fueling problems Interesting little sidelight here. I drained the tank and put in the new fuel filter. Haven't had a chance to ride it. Ran out of light putting it back together, so I guess I'll find out how it goes after the storm…
- Hi, Newbie here If you reach 88mph will it start to run backwards?
- Different clutch slave cylinder sizes? 13 minutes ago, BuzznerSuntrusts Probably more the line than the master. The lines on these things are 20 years old. I did my clutch with braided when I did the brake lines and it was a cheap, easy upgrade. It improved…
- Possible fueling problems 2 hours ago, carlgustav makes me think I'll just replace the fuel filter. Yeah, that's where I'm starting. Mine came in the mail yesterday. Let me know how it goes for you. I'll do the same.
- Possible fueling problems @carlgustav my bike went a little richer at idle with the new headers, too. I was checking with my rapidbike wideband sensors. I haven't talked about any of this because I haven't really worked on it, but I started…
- Just fitted my RWB 25th with Michelin Road 5's I used to lean enough to touch pegs on the 3rd gen. Not often, but there were a couple of corners on my favorite roads where I'd crest a hill and sometimes they'd just kiss the pavement. And a track day every year or…
- Just fitted my RWB 25th with Michelin Road 5's Not me. My chicken strips are plenty wide and still look new. Then there's the rough stuff, then the hard center rubber. Maybe I should go at the edges of the tires with some 60 grit so I look cool.
- Just fitted my RWB 25th with Michelin Road 5's I certainly do. You definitely know where the soft compound starts on my rear.
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen I'm just now noticing that some parts are getting less available. Compared to a few years ago when I picked up my 5th gen, that is, some stuff that was to be found then is now dropping off. Fairing pieces, hoses, etc.…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen Don't be intimidated by this job. Especially of you have a second set of hands to help you spread the front pipes to fit the ports. I posted my issues as well as success to show you that there might be tiny problems,…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 minutes ago, ScottieDucati Cylinder 1 looks as they should but not squished at all? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 hours ago, GreginDenver (NOTE: I didn't fully torque-to-spec on the rear cylinders so I believe…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Looks to me like 1 and 2 (with the seams properly facing in) would have been just fine. 4 is the oddball here, I swear my ports look a little different on the front, but I still think 4 would have been fine if properly…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 42mm. Mine did that, too. They're exactly as large as they can be, and one was even difficult to get in there, but they worked like a charm. I had to cram them into the ports, but the headers pushed them into place and…
- Dodging exploding tractor trailer tires Hah -- yeah, falling in 70 mph traffic is worse than just the road rash. I've seen a tread come off truck tires before. It started whipping around, throwing pieces. Every which way -- one of the belts was attached and…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen 5 hours ago, Mohawk I used the two stock O2 sensors wires in parallel to power my MTB O2 sensor. You have to use both, as the wide band sensor has double the power draw as the lambda ones ! But it means no resistors &…
- Dodging exploding tractor trailer tires I live near enough to a freeway that I occasionally hear when these things explode. About once a year. It sounds like a shot. Lots of force. Those things are inflated to way more pressure than a car tire. Like…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 1 hour ago, MiniCarver Finally got around to installing the pipe. The front was pretty far off and misaligned. CornerCarver had to lay on the ground and push the front right with his foot while I worked it into place.…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen This is exactly what I expect. I just wanted to do my due diligence since Rapidbike say you should leave your stock sensors connected. Now I know for certain, with all other variables fixed, it doesn't work that way.
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen Just for giggles I did run it with RBo2 unchecked. Oddly, it cruised a little better. It wouldn't switch back and forth between modes as quickly, causing surges. But it would go DEEP into the cruise mode and stay there.…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen Haven't tried RBo2 Active unchecked in this configuration. That's specifically supposed to be checked if you have stock sensors, according to rapidbike. I could flip it off and see what happens, but I don't know what to…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen Of course I do. I did that long before the rapidbike, actually, but the rapidbike literally will not work properly with the Pair enabled. Why do you ask?
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen RapidBike Users I have a Rapidbike Racing with a single MTB. I think it is using the older 4.2 sensor, not the newer one. Backstory (Skip this if you don't care) ==== For a long time I have been running it with…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen A couple of follow ups. Sensor Wiring I'm pretty sure the sensors are wired Natural to 1-2 Black to 3-4. I've seen a couple of pics including a recent pick of a 6th gen and that's how they are. Noting it here in case…
- Testing Fifth Gen, Photo Looks like a 6th gen to me.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Guys, don't stress over this. I'm not challenging it at all. I just wanted to know how it worked. Engineering wise, you can't put something on one mounting point and expect it to not rotate. You have to have two points,…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 3 hours ago, Duc2V4 It pushes up against the cush or engine, I'd have to take a closer look but yes, adding a bend and/or use thicker metal would provide more rigidity. I'm not picking on your prototype. I do my fair…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 5 hours ago, boOZZIE Will this interfer with the 3rd o2 sensor as MooseMoose fitting thread says it's all pretty close there I doubt it. It's outside the end of the sensor. I mean, I don't have it on my bike, but I'm…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 1 hour ago, Duc2V4 BTW, here is what I did last night and is what I had forwarded to Seb (via pictures). Hopefully I am on the right track but I'm sure Seb's talent could easily surpass mine! [image:…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen I don't think ceramic would help the front chin fairing on mine. It presses against it to the right of the right cutout. Trimming was the only option and no amount of relaxing of the pipes will change it. However,…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen @carlgustav The sensor plugs -- good note. Remember to note which one's black and which one's white, that's the end that is hidden under the fairing. They're color coded so you can get them plugged into the harness…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen This one gets its own post. Watch your torque! You don't need much. It's 9lbs/12nm. That's like 1/8 of a turn past finger tight. Both the Honda and the Haynes manual say this, so there's no excuse to overtorque. Here's…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen OK, I put it back together. People in the other thread don't seem to think my pictures, which made this process take literally twice as long as had I just done the shit and moved on, illustrate exactly what I said. Or…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 hours ago, BuzznerSuntrusts 6TH GENS! (ONLY?) Not sure on 8th, but 5th is standard. Beat me to it. My 5th gen is standard. Torque these to spec, too. They have lot of threads for medium loctite, and a wavey washer.…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Gee, I didn't think to try either of those things. It's not as close as it looks and there's a whole lot of pipe out of frame. There are only so many angles you can get to and I had no leverage to expand anything. Just…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen No time to write now, but I got it together. More tips on fitting issues later. Here's the first start and checking for leaks:
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA [image: assembly_190426_180720.jpg&key=360328019] That's a 5th gen. I had to drop the stand.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA You CANNOT fit that centerstand through the gap between the downpipes and the outlet on a 5th gen. At least on mine you can't. I just tried yesterday. You have to weave the centerstand up through it, which means taking…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA You have to drop the headers to get the centerstand on. They basically have to go on together, in fact, lower the headers and thread the stand up between, bolt on the stand, then put the headers back into place, There's…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen So I got them installed -- ish. After work I pulled it out and started. Note the small parts, carefully inventoried and accounted for: [image: assembly_190426_172826.jpg] Previous owner was a dolt. I spent a lot of time…
- Installing the new performance header on 5th gen Note: This is for a 5th gen. Everything here is MY observation, on my bike, and I have not elided those bits where things didn't go smoothly simply to try and be helpful. Your experience may be different. Your bike may…
- Reblacking the stands Yeah, it's bland, Dash. That side stand is ever so slightly blacker than stock, but close enough to stock you can't tell. [image: stands_190425_162318.jpg] The mounting bracket is still stock paint. The center stand I…
- Picture Thread I think it's Victory Red now. Ever so slightly darker. You can only really tell when they're side by side in the sunlight. I have a friend that claims Yellow is the fastest color, even on a Ferrari. His logic is "You…
- Picture Thread 23 minutes ago, MaxSwell Such a beautiful machine. And in the fastest color. Second fastest. Italian Red is faster.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Payment sent. If I'd known I'd have handed you cash right there! Don't want you to be out of pocket after the scores of hours already contributed to this project. Those 8Gen are good charts, especially around the vtec…
- Reblacking the stands 1 hour ago, mello dude - Start up a thread for when you install the header... :fing02: Will do. If I'm feeling particularly ambitious I might even use a camera that doesn't suck. I'm not always good about stopping and…
