Not sure, but I think i am going by intensity. If you have some plastic/vinyl tubing kicking around, try that as stethoscope.
Listening to it again, and it may an exhaust leak, maybe gasket wasn't seated correctly, it would be great if that is all it is!
Plus you don't have to take out the Honda weights out of your stock bars.
Check out www.vibranator.com, I used these on my '03 with helibars, worked great. At least read info on how to dampen vibrations.
If it was the needle float valve, then gas would be coming out of overflow hole. My tip was meant to be done on the bike. I think once o-ring...

I was thinking of the VFR1200, which does have drive by wire, and uses traditional cables to a transition unit.
Thanks, idling about 1800 then increase to 2000 rpm when I let clutch out. Will adjust tomorrow. Don't know where I got the idea about the ride by...
Haven't got my service manual yet, trying to figure how adjust the Idle. I know it has cables down to left side of the throttle body, where it...
It is the basics of counter steering, if I had known that 30 years ago, I wouldn't have wrecked my first 83 VF750!
