  1. rear clicking noise

    Well, after a few years it is once again time for bearings. The All Balls ones didn't do too well. I checked my book and they lasted about 6000 miles. (haven't been riding for the last 3 years due to bad car accident) Going with better bearings this time. Same as last time, I took it...

  2. Radiator woes, help!

    Anyone have any success installing one of the aluminum radiators off ebay? I ordered one and cant seem to make it fit. They sent a replacement and I am having the same problem. I slide it onto the bracket on the bottom and then the holes at the top are off by a large margin. Maybe 5/8" I...

  3. A few questions about a new tire

    Does anyone know if a 225 55 r16 will fit without issue? I am running a exedra max 240 55 16 currently and I think the 225 55 is only like 2 tenths taller. Anyone know? Also was looking at this tire and wondered if anyone has any experience with it? Thanks

  4. Strange misfire

    The wires could easily fall off they were soo loose. I pinched the connectors and re-installed them. Also cleaned the crank sensor while I was at it. Short test ride felt a million times better! I wonder if that is also why I've been getting such terrible mileage lately? I am hoping to...

  5. Coil Over Plug mod (COP) for standard coil removal

    So what is the consensus? I read thru the entire thread and am kind of confused now. Are Yamaha YZF R1 coils still the go to coils or not? Did anyone ever try the 1050 coils? Does someone make and sell a harness for ease of installation?

  6. Strange misfire

    Thanks guys! I checked the coils and the wires are extremely loose. I will tighten them and take it for a test ride. Hopefully that will cure the problem. I'll post what I find

  7. Strange misfire

    Thanks! I'll check em in the morning. I replaced the tps last fall so hopefully it isn't that again.

  8. Strange misfire

    hey guys, my 07 classic has developed a misfire and it is as random as can be. It can happen at any rpm and any speed. It'll stumble really bad under load and then be fine. Or ill just be crusing and all of the sudden it will start popping and losing power. No codes thrown. Plugs have less...

  9. Another idle problem

    I'd like to ideally get it back to stock and working properly. Any ideas on how to make that happen?

  10. Another idle problem

    What do you mean disconnect the push arm? I have had the motor removed from the equation completely before and still had some high idle problems. Which part is the push arm? What would we be testing for?

  11. Another idle problem

    hey guys. After trying to install my rivco risers and not being able to lift the tank anymore, I put everything back to stock. For some reason my idle is loping around 500 rpms now. Kinda strange but maybe I just need to adjust a cable. Anyway, I was thinking this would be a good time to...

  12. 3d printed 12v ignition socket

    Well, with my ignition switch relocated I really wanted to do something with the hole in the front of my bike. I decided to put in a 12v lighter socket. I was going to do a permanent USB plug, but they draw voltage even when not in use even if it is just a very small amount. I was going to...

  13. 3d printed ignition switch bracket

    Made an extension harness and went to relocate my ignition switch. Still making a few different models but I'm getting better!

  14. Rivco Risers

    It is a tourer. The tank hold down tab hits the handlebar bracket. No way around that. Even with the gauges pulled, still won't clear.

  15. only 21 mpg...

    Another update. Next tank had me at 32.6 mpg. Now I need to try some highway speed and see what happens.
