I don't know the answer, but part of it must be mechanical as the second set of valves are kicking in. It is a sweet sound.
For what this bike is and for what it is meant to be, there is no need to change it. The current bike is so refined, it is incredible. I rode my...
Well I'm surprised that so far, I do have the latest VIN at 830. My dealer told me that they were only making 1000 of the RWB. I thought, and...
Does anyone know how many bikes were produced with the RWB color scheme for 2007? My dealer told me that he thought that they were in a limited...
I went with the top end oiling kit by Mark Douglas. It's well built and a very high quality product. I installed it on my 500 over 4 years ago...
Since they have to put something in the "Cons" column, it is good to see that everything in there is strictly an opinion as opposed to a real...
Welcome to the rat race ..... absolutely inexcusable.
To be honest, any more power than what the current 800 puts out, would put me outside of my comfort zone. I've been riding street since 1990 and...
Is it possible that the patent filings are for the R&D surrounding their Moto GP effort? The sketches of the bike look very racy to me. However,...

On the US 2007 model, the VTEC kicks in at 6400 RPM. I use the RPM range freely and I routinely allow VTEC to kick in while turning. It is a...
I haven't bought them yet. I'm still going to try to find a used set of rims first and if I can't come up with a set, then I'll go new. I want...
