Runs good cold, rough at low rpms after it heats up.

    Hello, I recently bought a 02 VFR with only 500 miles. It seems to run great shortly after start-up, but hesitates at lower rpms after warm up. I used sea foam injector cleaner, it helped some, it seems to idle better. Yeterday I installed a PC 111, & O2 elems. It runs better with the PC111, & o2 elems, but still runs rough at low rpms after it warms up. I checked the plugs, & they looked good. This hesitation is mostly a problem in slow speed turns. Is this normal for this bike? Thanks

    Update: after some high RPM canyon riding, the bike is running good. This bike doesnt like to be lugged. It just needed a good blowout. I am loving the V4, its the most fun bike I have owned, of aprox 25 bikes. I'm coming off larger sport touring mounts FJR 1300, & BMW R1150.

    Give it an "italian tune-up"

    it worked for me, I went about a tank of gas but I had a blast and everything cleared right up
