    Not another TuneEcu Question...

    Sorry, but it is...kinda. I've experimented with several TuneEcu tunes with mixed results. I have tried both the "official" as well as one custom tune that I think might apply to my bike configuration. I have an '09 Standard with a D&D (no cat, the bike came like this and I assume the cat...

    Reloading tunes

    Hi all, Is it recommended to reload tunes from time to time. It seems to me that right after I loaded my tune at the beginning of the season, the difference was very noticable, (almost lifting the front tire) but now it doesn't seem as snappy or as smooth throughout the gears. I run an 09...

    Want to Buy Sport Screen

    My windshield is cracked and I've always like the look of the sport screen. I have the kit and just need the screen and bolts. I live in Canada but I have a Purolator account so shipping within Canada can be on my dime.

    Royal Purple Oil

    Hey, So is anyone here using Royal Purple? I've been using Amsoil but I've read up on Royal Purple and I'm thinking of giving it a go. Shifting feels a little clunky about 4000k from my last oil change and people seem to say it butters it up. What do you guys think?

    Wobble & Fork Seal - Related?

    So for a little while I have had some light wobbly wobbersons at about 60-70 km/h, usually on decel, but I also noticed that my right fork is weeping oil. If I keep both hands on the bars, it is certainly not an issue. I am going to get the fork seals done over the winter but what are the...

    Lucky Strike in Kennewick - Rear Tire

    So my wife and I are doing 2 week trip through Idaho, Washington, Oregon, then back up to Victoria and at our first stop I noticed some bad wear on my Exedra. We rode into Bonners Ferry and decided we needed a new rear tire right away. Of course, nobody has one anywhere nearby or en route that...

    What happens when you over tighten the oil drain plugs?

    This! Fortunately, the drain bolts cracked up to the threads but not into them. Close call. I can't find a decent torque wrench anywhere nearby. If anyone has a suggestion online, it's time that I buy one.

    Do not buy this cable for Tuneecu

    I followed the link on the Tune Ecu How To thread and ordered this cable... Link Removed It learned that (after ordering it and trying it) it does not have an FTDI chipset and does not connect to the program/bike. I thought I'd post this as a new thread so others see it and do a little more...

    Cold start. Start, stall, start, stall, start, runs great.

    Hi all, I suspect my issue is the TPS or stepper voltage but I thought I'd ask for some opinions. I’ve done some searching here and it seems to be the likely culprit. After the bike sits for a while, it takes 3 tries to get it to start and run. I start it up, it stalls within 10-15 seconds...

    Paint Job Price

    I'm seriously thinking about painting my bike to a matte black next winter. I bought it used and love it but now that there are a few chips and scratches in the tank, I'm considering a paint job. Anybody care to share cost of a full paint job from previous experience? I'm thinking I can take...

    Fuel Guage after Tank Lift

    I know that the low fuel light and the after market fuel gauge are not all that accurate but ever since I lifted my tank to plug in my cooling fan, I've noticed my needle drop like crazy on my last few rides. I used to be able to get about 200K before it hit anywhere near the red but I'm now in...

    Dent removal

    I was watching some videos of people popping dents out of their cars with a hair dryer and a can of air duster. I have a dent in my oil tank but the paint is intact. Anyone treid this? It looks like it works pretty good.

    Help with microfiche - Engine Number

    Hey, So, I'm looking at the exploded view for cooling system on the R3 because I have a very slow coolant leak at my pump, and I know what parts I need, but the way the engine numbers are referenced on the list are strange. My Engine number (stamped on the engine) is 3382685. The last 6...

    Cooling fan connection

    Hi all, Is it possible to get at the cooling fan connection without removing the radiator or lifting the tank? I can't even see where it plugs in and I suspect that the mechanic who did my 30000k service did not reconnect it. I've been on a few rides since, but all have been at highway speeds...

    Strange whirring sound under left side of tank

    Hi all, I just had my 30K service on my 09 R3, and noticed a new sound when powering the bike up. When I turn the key, the usual powerup/whirring sounds happen but then I get a repeated pulsing whirring sound from under the left side of the tank. It sounds like pump shooting short pulses of...

    Seafoam

    Hey all, I've seen a few posts on here mentioning Seafoam for cleaning injectors, etc. Is it really that good? The online reviews seem to say the same thing, although, most reviewers are using it in older cars claiming it brought them back to life. I was thinking of trying it out. I have a...

    Stalling while shifting from first to second.

    I searched the forums to see if anyone had a similar issue but did not find anything specific that sounds like my problem. I see lots of "stalling" posts but most seem related to the ignition switch. This has happened to me only twice now and teach time was a couple opf weeks apart. After...

    After a wash

    Took a few pics of my bike after a wash... I think it goes faster when it's clean! https://www.dropbox.com/s/mssujhveuvso6p5/2013-07-21%2014.34.25.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/wsxjwy34gngslpe/2013-07-21%2014.34.40.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6tdv05g34k8lua/2013-07-21%2014.35.12.jpg

    Fleetliner Trunk

    Hi! I'm hoping one of the members here has a Corbin trunk and beetle bags. I bought the beetles for my 09 standard and now that they're on the bike, I love them. I'm considering the matching trunk now, but if someone was kind enough to post a few full bike pictures, it would be a huge help...
