Its a FITNESS mag.... LOl.... Nice pic of bike and model... #8 is the Ducati Street Fighter 848..... and it didn't even get a pic..

Men's Health Mag has the V7 Racer as the #6 "Best Products for Men" in the Dec Issue.... and out of the 100, the only one to get a full page spread....

Just to follow-up on this problem, the problem was indeed the power commander. After removing and reinstalling the power cammander serveral times and watching the problem come and go with the PC, thereis no doubt the PC was causing the problem. thanks

I did check the insulation, it was mostly hanging on, but the side portion not directly over the airbox was hanging down and ragged. I trimmed that off and reglued the center part that was a little loose. It ran well on the way to work, but no real "hot rod" attacks yet, so we'll see. That's eliminated at the least. thanks

I do have the open air box, (sounds so cool), and the heat shield material is in bad shape, I will check that out..... and the way it was acting, I am very optimistic that is the problem... thanks

Thanks all, I went to Advanced Auto Parts and picked up the Purolator filter number mentioned earlier f43178.... It was a good fit, although about half as long. The problem I have been having, where the motor shuts down during hard acceleration, like what happens when hitting the rev limiter, has mostly been eliminated. It seems better anyway, but I am still having the problem intermit. At least now I know it is not the fuel filter....

Thanks, but looking for an alternative, ie, one I can get from advanced auto pats for 10$....There was some postings on here but for an Vll sport.....thanks

Does anyone have part numbers for recommended fuel filter alternative for 2002 Lemans? thanks

Thanks, I will try some suggestions this weekend, see what happens.....

I don't know for sure it is the Rev Limiter, but it does act exactly like it does where it usually kicks in. It is very random and after letting off the throttle it seems fine and will even rev past that point a few seconds later. I doubt my filter has ever been changed, with the bike having 19k on it.

My 2002 Lemans has been intermit. hitting the rev limiter at around 5500 RPM. It will work fine then sometimes when I really get on it, it kicks in way too early. I have a power cammander, but other than exhaust it is completely stock. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any suggestions.... thanks

[Hey Frank, Yea, that's me Jaxlemans on the "other site". Sounds good. Let me know when it cools down enough, we'll take a ride up there. Thanks for the input on the crossover, I have it in the weldshop right now getting some reinforcement, hopefully that and carefull installation will prevent future cracks.

Thanks, I had read the "Tale of 3 Crossovers", but hadn't seen the second one. I was having a piece welded in simular to the one shown, I think I will go ahead and have the bracket made up for mine as well, hopefully that will prevent future cracking.

Well, can't say I wasn't warned........purchased FBF crossover in January, after about 2000 miles it cracked all to hell. I had talked to FBF about the potential problem before purchasing and they said that it was not a common problem, but would warranty it if it did. I sent it back and they sent me a new one no questions asked. I have the new one at a weld shop right now getting it reinforced. Anyone have simular experience and was able to overcome it? (There goes my warranty)

Okay, not particularly noteworthy since he was two up. I do have to add that the week before he had a much heavier girl with him, at least he didn't bring her....... What is noteworthy, is that he was so confident that he showed up riding two up, I, on the other hand, fue ed up with less than two gals, left the tank bag at home and wore my lucky underwear. Some quick calculations with my known , rider total weight/hp and his estimated vehicle, rider total weight and claimed 112hp, tells me he still had a slight advantage with my weight to HP ratio being 7.4-1 and his being 7.2-1. (Obvious testimony to my riding skills) He was a little overconfident to say the least. Probably won't be next time.
