Thanks for the wishes, guys. Typing with just your left hand sucks. The woman was texting but actually blew a red light and pulled right in front of me; I had about a second to react and saved myself from more injuries (at least Id like to think) but still ended up slamming head on into her...

I just want to chime in and say that while I see a *ton* of people posting claims that octane is "resistance to burn" that it is, more realistically, resistance to compression.

I have a one of these too and was CONSIDERING selling them and putting back on my stock exhaust for a little while; I moved to Louisiana and Ive never had to deal with "inspections" before (we dont have them in Florida) so I figured it might be easier just to stick with stock. I don't have...

I've got a TB carbon fiber with deleted cat. I can make a high quality recording or something. I know you want to hear it in person but I dont think me being in Louisiana will help you much, but like I said, I can make a higher quality audio recording than you would get from youtube.

Just to sort of completely disclose my setup since we both have TB pipes, I bought my pipes from a member on here and they're just open. I don't have the tips or anything, it's loud but sounds great. I'm not sure if it matters but I also removed the cat. Well, not "removed" - I wanted it to...

When you say "that's second" you've clicked up twice, did the first click put you into neutral?

I highly doubt this is what you need to do, but I've got the TB carbon fiber setup and my idle sounded about the same for the longest time. When I did the AIS removal/block/whatever you call it (I have a thread here about it somewhere if you search) my idle never sounded the same afterwards, and...

I have been running it (riding, not idling, obviously) for a decent amount of time before killing/starting it again. The battery is brand new from two days before we talked on the phone - when I bought it I had trickle charged it overnight to be safe. The battery seems fine, and when it's...

Dumped tank. Fresh gas. Still taking a very, very long time to start. Will randomly start alright 1 of 5-6 attempts. For the first time it wouldn't start at all - starter cranked for about 3 seconds then died. Started on second attempt after ~8 seconds. Starting to worry me. Not really sure what...

Yes, no throttle. Sometimes I try giving a little bit but only after its already been cranking for 5+ seconds. Normally it started in a second, second and a half at most. Probably less. It's done that once or twice, usually right when I try to show somebody how long it takes to start (of course).

I'm glad you said that as I was just about to put the rest in the tank. It's starting normally maybe once in 10 starts, otherwise its literally 6-10 seconds of cranking before the engine comes to life. Aside from that everything is good. Im having a hard time trusting my gas gauge right now...

I bought some STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner. The tech one just said it was for injectors (at least what they had). I put half the bottle in; it said to do the full bottle, but that that was for up to 22 gallons. I only had 1.5 to 2 gallons in the tank so I put about half, figuring that...

Alright, I'm going to go grab that from Walmart in about half an hour and hopefully that will help it start a little better. In other random news - I did that dual headlight mod... I can't remember who, but back in the day (maybe still) one of you fabricated and sold that custom made cable...

Is there anything you'd suggest that I can buy at walmart/autozone/etc? I mean does any fuel additive/cleaner/whatever work? As for the pump... if I take the pump out, I just hook up the single connector for the gauge with the pump completely out of the tank or do I plug in BOTH connectors...

I just found all my gear and took it for another ride. I charged the battery but it still took almost ten seconds to start. I went to give it some gas and it started right up - so quickly, in fact, that I'm not sure if it was me hitting the throttle or just coincidentally choosing then to...
