I'll wave at anything that technically qualifies as a "motorcycle" under the law. We're all sharing the road with a bunch of unskilled, distracted...
From any angle that shows off the under seat exhaust or swing arm I think the 6th gen looks best. From there I think the 5th and 8th are sort of...
I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just comparing to my pre-thermostat replacement mileage. I was hoping for a bit more, but we'll see, it'll take more...
I am using US mpg.
Alright, my first "post thermostat replacement" fill-up got me about 38.8mpg. Which isn't miles above what I was getting before, but it is easily...
It takes about 2-3 minutes to get up to ~76'C, from start. I start my bike, put on my helmet and gloves and then start riding. And for those...
I had the bike towed to a nearby shop and they put the tire on, so the wheel isn't any cleaner. And I got to take it for its first ride in the...
Rode home yesterday in the rain, wasn't cold out (23'C), but my engine temp never dropped below 76'C once it got up there, which was still 2-3x...
So I found out yesterday that I had been riding on the ragged edge without even noticing. [ATTACH] I got a PR4 put on without considering any...
Well, now that the thermostat is fixed it hovers around 78'-80'C, I would imagine regardless the conditions. Before the thermostat was fixed it...
I too use fuelly religiously. My economy has been pretty poor this spring so far, but my thermostat was stuck open and I just replaced it on June...
Side stand here. I sure wouldn't ever put the bike up on the center stand to fuel it, if you can get anymore fuel in, it isn't enough to be worth...
I pretty regularly upload 30min-1hr videos to youtube, and even the long ones take just a few hours for me. Are you sure you have fast upload...
Alright, got the parts, got some time, did the deed. Result: Success. So here's the quick and dirty. I stripped the throttles off which left me...
The strip down isn't that difficult now that I know all the hoses and connectors to remove. I mostly followed the VTEC valve adjustment guide to...
So I'm ordering a new solenoid for the next time I take the throttle bodies off. According to the parts guy at my local Honda shop the solenoid is...
I replaced the air filter a moment ago as well, as the old one was probably 13yrs old and FILTHY. Also no change, though unsurprising.
Got the new/used ECM, plugged it in, warmed the bike up, activated ran it up to 7000rpm, same shit. So according to the service manual I've...
I always figured a passenger would make it easier to lift the front wheel. Thanks for doing the experiment!
As a general rule I keep the engine at 4k or above, in second gear I'll let it drop below, since the meager torque is actually usable at that...
