Sorry guys It turned out it was the almighty TPS took quite a bit of time and almost completely stripping the bike down we checked just about every wire on the whole bike and connectors too LOL. My buddy ended up buying the bike. 1600$ - $180 for the TPS and two days of drinking beer and...

I have a chance to get an 07 zx14 for a steal. Heres the issue with it. Riding down the road after it is warm and ur just cruising yes yes yes and it goes blah blah blah then back to yes yes yes it feels like it loses all power for a few seconds then its fine again. it is doing it pretty much...

well I tried the pic thing not too good at computers but I can rebuild the F out of an automatic transmission go figure lol. Anyhow it turns out that both cams on both heads have the ring on them. Ill just clean everything up and install and make damn sure that the I Mark on the intake cam and E...

Thx I saw this pic in my FSM and was hoping it was that simple. Please explain to me how to post a pic to this site and I will show you what I have, mine is an 06 and was running fine B4 I did my stupid maintenance and F'd it all up. Whats the years difference between s1 and s2?? My new head...

Has anyone been able to figure out how to identify the differences between the cams from looking at them if they are out of the bike besides having a different part #?? according to the FSM they have the same profiles which should technically make them interchangeable from either exhaust or...

Ill take a gander at a cpl parts houses in the morning but two thumbs up for answering and looking its appreciated

Not to bad to the naked eye but when I got the lifter caps off two of the pads were needing some help coming out and mashed valve stem heads all on the intake side. I use a screwdriver to push down on the valve spring top to check that the valve(s) moved(s). you can see where contact with the...

Thx for the vid got my adrenaline kinda pumping just watching LOL (dont ask),:Flip: What he should have done was get off after about the third light park somewhere and walk as by then half the PO PO were aware but not yet in a position to do anything to help the other PO PO just yet. Once again...

I'll try to make it short can I use an 08 head on my 06 engine? If not what changed between Late 04-09

Yes the outer body seated into the hole I am more than sure the rod did not snap back the sound was an ugly loud rattle chain sound and it died within maybe 3 seconds and when I took it apart to reset the cams and chain hoping I got lucky I had both guides out the looked okay no noticeable...

Anyone know anyone with a good head they have sitting around collecting dust?

well yes I pulled the tensioner (per service manual) screwed it in clockwise and watched the rod depress into the body holding it with my finger once its fully depressed you take your finger off and see if it snaps out smoothly if it doesnt its bad and needs to be replaced. mine was good but i...

I did turn the engine over by hand multiple times (per service manual instructions) did not feel any interference but I suspect it now has bent valves and I need a new complete head w/cams. but hey its got a new chain and tensioner LOLOLOL

Heres the scoop so other day I start hearing timing chain tick so I put her on the stand remove tensioner screw it in take finger off and watch it do its thing its nice and smooth no jumping or anything put it back on fire this dog up and all hell breaks loose. nasty sound ya all know the one. I...

a little over 23000 miles I have a new chain I am just curious when you replace the chain shouldnt you do the guide as well.

Ok Ill make this short and sweet. Pros and cons does I go with the original type or aftermarket mechanical tensioner. mine is getting louder by the week.

where can I pick up a good shop manual

ok so found thread on diagnositic mode and did it all it said was diag pushed select and nothing comes up I am guessing that means no codes.
