I can hear my intake for a split second but I have aftermarket exhaust which drowns out all other sounds almost instantly. :thumbup: Make sure you remove all 6 screws! As I recall 2 are kinda hidden and if the top of the air box is stuck chances are you missed a screw!

It is very easy to check your filter. 1. Remove the seat 2. Remove the two Allen head bolts that hold the front of the tank to the frame directly under the steering head. You can see them without removing anything. 3. Remove the long bolt that holds the back of the tank directly...

I've had a driver's license for 20 years now with a clean record and +5 positive points for driving for 5 years with no traffic citations. Being over age 30 with a clean record helps. My rate is also reduced because I'm married. Also if you do not live in a major metro area you will...

It's also helpful to use at least 6' of tubing on each tube and keep the tubing the exact same length for all 4. The tubing itself will offer some resistance to the jumping of the fluid in addition to the critical vacuum restrictors. Get the bike up to operating temp BEFORE hooking up the...

Funny, my 2006 springs were also in with the tighter coils at the bottom which is wrong! The 2004-2006 manual specifically says to put the tighter coils at the top and 2007+ bikes have the tighter coils up top. I put mine back in tighter on top and not sure if that had something to do with my...

I just did my fork oil 1 month ago. I used 10 wt. as well. My forks were noticeably stiffer, less compression under heavy braking and feel great! My guess is you may have assembled the fork incorrectly? Did you use some type of tool to hold the damper assy. in the fork while you...

Residential single family homes, not counting apartments/townhomes. A house with a detached garage is a residential single family home. I will admit this thread has made me start to think about my own situation. I store my bikes in my partially finished walk out basement because I don't...

That is the main drawback, dip is hard to clean. You can't just scrub it to get the bugs off or you risk taking off the dip. For bug removal on forks I just soak them with water and soap, let them sit and then lightly rub with a sponge to remove. The clear coat will help them be easier to...

Over 40% of all residential homes in the US are on private onsite septic systems, not connected to municipal sewage treatment plants. I deal with permitting for septic in 19 US states. Some states are lax about it but in most states it's more than just a problem for tax assessment or real...

1. Don't use plasti-dip in places that get wear. My guess is it won't last long on the kick plates because your boot will wear it off. 2. Remove anything you wish to spray. Don't attempt to do it on the bike, it's actually more work that way. 3. Clean anything you wish to dip well with...

I'm not track expert but when I turn the sound up it's clear you had steady throttle and it does not appear you were braking much if at all at the point of loosing traction. Either the lean angle was just a bit too much or a small bump or surface imperfection hit you right that the point of...

You know. I don't want to tell you to cause waves which could potentially get you evicted here, BUT...... I am a civil engineer and I deal directly with the building industry, mostly residential. Half of the time a "garage" is converted into living space IT IS ILLEGAL. 1. Do they have a...

Sorry, I was referring to the image you posted of the bike being upside down.

To me naked high power bikes seem good for commuting in traffic or in city streets but are useless for long distance rides on high speed freeways where 70-80 mph is the normal flow of traffic. Try riding a naked bike at 80 mph for 150 miles straight and you will understand why. Awesome...

Wouldn't it be easier with the bike on the ground instead of hanging it from the ceiling? Blah I did the exact same thing in March only I also replaced fork seals and steering head bearings as preventative maintenance. :thumbup:

Once you remove the pistons it would be a bad idea to reassemble without replacing the piston seals. Be sure to clean the caliper boors and pistons really well with clean rag and I would use rubbing alcohol to be sure to get any grit out that could damage the new seals. Some guys even lightly...

I just plasti-dipped my forks on my 2006 which also came silver powdercoat from the factory. I think it looks MUCH better, especially since my frame and engine are all black. I cleaned the forks well with rubbing alcohol before coating and used 7 coats of rattle can dip matte black...

I have a pair of ICON basic low profile lace up boots with one strap across the ankle. they have steel armor over the ankle bone and steel reinforced toe. They are stylish enough to wear to work so no need to keep changing out of my boots when I get to the office.

Price on the headlight is a bit steep. What brand and condition are the bags?

Jake wilson or RockyMountainATV for PR2/PR3. I paid around $270 shipped for my PR2 set. If you ride a lot get yourself a good brand so you won't be changing them again in 5,000 miles!
