    I adj the idle a bit-its now perfect 1200 and hit the throttles with cnc-it seem to help. CNC might be the best thing you can buy for $3 at auto zone. There was some junk in the air box still. I will hit the throttles with some more cnc on next ride. My conclusion is Pipercross air filter is a piece of junk, the Honda filter is much better and a chipmunk could not bite though the standard steel mesh. Honda seems to have gotten more things right then most bikes. I don't even care if I get a free replacement or not which seems unlikely at this point, I want to kick that british queen even though top gear is one of my favorate shows:boink:

    Let me get this straight. You judge how good an air filter is by its rodent stopping ability?
    Did your mama repeatedly drop you on your head?

    So by your logic you should hate your VFR by how many times you threw it on the ground. It is much worse than the moped you use to ride.

    Perhaps you can understand this language.

    The filter is garbage if a little rodent can eat though it with no trouble

    it's unfortunate the rodents didn't gnaw through his wiring harness at different points instead. for him, his bike would be toast and he'd probably move on to some other vehicle related website when the next purchase is made. like a swarm of grasshoppers moving on after devastating a field of crops.

    I am going to ring the bike with Moth balls, that chipmunk is history anyway-the cat got it. I am glad Randy has tested it 100,000 miles -freeway miles though-. that little bugger did a number on my poor vfr -here I think my idle stuff is screwed up, when its just full of nuts. I use some gunout-wrong stuff. I get cnc-right stuff, clean the stuff out.
    The pipercross has no steel screen like the stock one does. I do have it mostly fixed. May still be a little stuff inside, the idle is now spot on 1200.

    :hurt: You ain't got the stones to go it alone, punk. Maybe you should spend a few "pesos" on an addadicktome. Ever heard of a PLC or Matlab? yeah, that Matlab, the software that the "big boys" (the real ones, not those club racing guys you call big because your dick is so small)) use to write motogp electronics code. It's what I work with everyday, but you certainly would never get it because you can't even get Windows 10 to work..... Microsoft is for internet wannabes like you, but I figure you're too busy making titanium anal beads from Boeing leftovers with your hipster, assless chap, boyfriend, yeah that, and fucking with SOW. You couldn't even make it as my bitch. Stand on a barstool if you wanna get up in my face, loser.

    Holy Chipmunk crap, I never heard anyone beat on BB that hard, not even mee. Well I declare the chipmunk War is over, I haven't seen one in at least a month and no longer have the pipercross to attract them. pipercross is made of edible monk food. :banana:

    Am I sensing that I may have said something to anger you? Sorry dude, BB doesn't swing in that direction. All this time I thought those near third world hookers you were making it with were women. Silly me..

    There might be a market for titanium anal beads. I don't think Boeing surplus has any pure stuff for sale. Alloy tubing for sure. The assless chaps market is sewed up..

    For the sake of your mental health, may I suggest that you take a step back and not identify yourself quite so closely with the fast guys. Like many here, you are a fan and that's it. One might think that the way the stands are filled at major race events it might sink in that you are just one of many. We see the same behavior in rock and movie groupies, gamers, gamblers, druggies, alcoholics , sex addicts, those with eating disorders...the list goes on..

    Relax, enjoy it for what it is. You are never going to be one of the fast guys, hang out with them, be in the inner circles, they got that covered already. Maybe start an autograph collection as therapy..

    I was wondering if that Chipmunk was gay! As far as I know, I don't think so,:guitar: maybe BB can tell the difference! BB seems to have shemales in everything she talks about!

    The really badass dudes might not even like Titanium and might go for Monel or Stellite.

    Sow did you know porcupines eat rubber and love to chew through brake lines? The park service in many areas provide chicken with to protect your vehicle while you are walking about in the wild. You may want to invest in some or you may be changing tire brands.

    Wouldn't you be more likely to be baddass after using titanium anal beads?

    Isn't that how everyone chooses their gear?
