  1. So you can or cannot set the TPS using Guzzidiag? Is the ThrottleV what you want?
  2. Is this right? It has to be able to move and it doesn't appear to be loose aside from what you can see.
  3. What are the two rubber bungs/plugs under the license plate for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I'm not sure if this cover has ever been off before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. The tank definitely has similarities to the V7 tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Pictures or even better, video?
  7. Well the nut is tightened back down. Not to the same torque but it's threaded. Pretty sure if all the pinch bolts fail and you are relying on that top nut to save your ass you're in bigger trouble than you've ever been in. If the front end is clunking, get off. #protip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Take yours off and you tell me what it does. Nothing will fall apart. My vote is decorative. I'd be glad to be proven wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Since no one could answer this I dove in. So from what I can tell the chrome nut is mostly cosmetic? I just simply unscrewed it. Then I attached the Ram mount, still using the vacuum line. This provides an indirect attachment that should harm the nut. And allows a little movement for the occasional bumps. We'll see if I need to make adjustments later to this. Plenty of room to reach the key. And it puts the phone where you need it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Not sure of the build date but it's listed as a 2001. 7/2000
  11. I was seeing how I could get that bike. I would have had to leave it with my brother until I could get out to the east coast. Surprisingly he didn't have a problem with that. There's a similar one for sale in Idaho for a little more if anyone is interested. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. It's not dark at all. I suspect it might be the clutch lever. I had it adjusted so that it may not have been compressing enough before hitting the bar. It will be at least another week before it stops raining to test it out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. I'd recommend to set up a "shop" on somewhere like Custom Ink. Once a design is settled each person can go in and order exactly what they want. The cost should be significantly lower than engaging with a local printer, no minimums and no one has to put up the capital for the shirts. If you want to build a small profit in the proceeds can go back to this site. I can look into it more if you want.
  14. After the fail at the DMV yesterday I met up with a buddy to catch a quick ride before kid duties kicked in. On the way home the after some "spirited" riding the fuel light went on. I got a few miles from home and it started sputtering. I didn't think I'd make it to the nearest gas station. I wiggled the bike and it kept going. I almost had to push it to the pump. I put on 5 gallons, by far the most I've put in so far. According to my gas app I'm make around 35 mpg (US). I was hoping for more but I'm thinking it will go up after some tuning. The custom painted Panigale sounds as wicked as it looks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. I still had some issues getting into first when hot. Still some tweaking to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Red. It's in the Classifieds.
  17. I read all of those before I even got the bike. But I doubt I'll get to all of them right away. Tune up for sure. Weather has been weird this year. We hit 70 for the first time in 2017, the latest in the year anyone can remember. So maybe I will have time to put it on the bench. After a secessful trip to the DMV...
  18. So take it off the next time I change the gear oil... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I'm not sure if you're allowed on here if you don't have a touch of the crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Getting an Oregon title. That counts as doing something. Right? As I was leaving the house I noticed the side stand extension was broken. Is that common? I've probably been stepping on it wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Tightened down the bolt. Had to use several extensions to get to it from the right side. Shifts better. Let's see how she does when she warms up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I had thought of that too. Except it would route the hoses right into the top of the crossover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Apparently there's a place out of the U.K. you can get touch up paint, even in a small spray can. It looks to be a three part solution with silver base and clear too. I may try it on a small part like a fairing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. On my list now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. https://youtu.be/XMWcsKDi1Yg So here's the play in the shifter. There's a bolt holding that triangular piece on that's back out to allow play but it's not loose. Should that triangle be solid? Side question, hanging off the back of the gearbox is a bracket with two cylinders. Looks to be brass? What is it for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
