Well that is certainly another way to go .. I shall look out for additional idle speed when I hit the centre spots..

Yes syncing the throttle body's are very important, manual states no more than 1.33 kpa differences from reference body. I discovered that I could NOT get it accurate enough with the Sync pro I got off ebay.. Almost but just a tad out I can feel a slight vibration & there is a slight power loss...

I have a suspicion that the secondary air solenoid is opening & closing as it does as It reaches speed no surge for extra juice this could make the bike feel jerky. I noticed this when i ran it in 1rst gear on centre stand.. makes power delivery a tad volatile..

Precautionary measure you don't want any oil pollution in the system .. does not have to be so full..

Guess he just was not carefull. . Not his bike, so what if the glass is totally oiled over.. :mad: Now I am dealing with the aftermath.. since they are the only Yamaha dealership in my vicinity to service for my warranty, I have instructed my next service to supervised by myself.. I have...

Yes it is the secondary air system that draws air from the air filter. . It should only draw air to the exhaust valves.. , but if they become peluted, they allow exhaust gasses to flow into the air filter housing disrupting fresh air flow to the intake throttle body.. it actually has a profound...

Ok I found the problem.. my bike was overfilled slightly at the 1000km service.. I drained the oil to under the full level marking but the damage was done.. opened up the reed valves, and there was the problem, 2 reed valves badly brown with burnt sludgy oil.. it robs the bike of power &...

Thanks very helpful .. Stiffened up the front & rear preload a tad & made a big difference.. I shall play a bit more with rebound to ..

I am finding the bike to wallow & weave at high speed above 180km/h .. the front becomes light & wallows uncomfortably .. What do you experience out there, & is there a cure to this problem..??

Yes very useful indeed. I am just wondering if any reset was done on my bike after the 1000 km service, since it was a tad more sluggish after that.. Now I mentioned this to the service department & they may not have wanted to tell me about any reset they did.. Anyone know what they could have...

It seems that the sensor for the clock is derived from the unregulated part of the cooling system.. since there should be a regulator around the cylinder heads that is more consistent don't you think?

I have noticed that the engine temperature reading fluctuates quite a bit when riding.. Once the engine is hot, it could fluctuate between 67 - 88 degrees C depending on riding conditions. (movement or stationary..) Is this normal..? or do I have a problem? I am more use to Honda that stays...

I have been seeing some slightly twisted bridges on new bikes these days.. This is my second new bike which had the handle bar when riding in a straight line being slightly skew.. This could play mind games with you, you keep saying it is ok, but you are not sitting perfectly straight on the...

Interesting, this bike is ride by wire, does it still require a sync?

Interesting, I found that after my first oil change was done from new at 1000km it was a tad less responsive.., but only a tad .. I guess the break in oil is thinner..? I have serviced the with Liqui Moly (street) 10w40 semi synthetic.. (the bike is not over filled upright just under the upper...

From good old Cape Town the place to ride this magnificent machine!! Some good passes & spectacular roads just are most enjoyable with this lightweight agile rocket..:)

Many thanks Paul, I have confirmed that all the tools are there, it seems a bit on the little side if you look at a Honda toolkit..
