I can simplify this crap. lazy greedy pricks who don't work for a living have f****d up everything. -
Are you saying we are not observant? OOPS!!!!!!

You couldn't clear a San Diego phone book with a WW 11 era BMW. -
My first road (street legal/insured) bike was the 87 SE . the agents or brokers in my area wanted $800-1200 per year. They were all with Progressive. I Googled bike insurance and found a broker in Fla.and got full coverage for around $250/yr. My 3 bikes now are around $500/yr. It.s a motorcycle, not a 'Busa or a Brough Superior START SHOPPING !!!!!!!!!!!!

If these part #s are for the plastic fittings, they are JUNK. If these are for the stainless fittings, they are good.

The first 2009 Quiz!? *

The front engine mount looks Ducati. I'm not sure if I can remember how the exhaust flange nut is made on them.Why don't you show the other side so we can say Ducati? -
There should be some kind of "limp-in" mode. The non O2 sensor engines use tps, ats,rpm,ckp and cts(aka oil temp) for inputs. For those of us that know open and closed-loop systems that is not many inputs. I don't know what this system does in the event of a sensor input problem?
-
The way to check without tearing into it is: start the engine and pull in the clutch lever. If it is quiet, it is a single disc system. If it sounds like something is loose,rattling or falling around and scares the s**t out of you it is perfectly normal and you have a dual disc setup.

You would have expected a linear reading from a (I've forgotten the proper name for resistors that vary with temp.)temp sensor?

Psssst! Don't tell ANYONE.... I've found the hot tip is to get away from the square tires that Neanderthal Greg uses and go to the Fred Flintstone granite tires. The do not do much for unsprung weight,balancing or traction but they are guaranteed to last 3,000,000 yrs.

Bad to the bone.............

People can f**k with things and fool themselves into thinking it is better.The way to fix this driveability and performance issue properly is with a PC or similar device, a gas analyzer, a dyno and most importantly a good mechanic with the knowledge to use these tools to get the most out of the bike.

That's why I like my strawberries "shaved"!

It gets worse. The more intelligent you become, the more ignorant you realize you are.

Replace the bulbs and do not trust just looking at the filaments. These have index tits on the outside of the bulb body so make sure they are installed correctly.

No, it gives you a good idea what the inside (of the switch)looks like.

Synthagm?

You (emry) understand that a resistance value of the sensor is interpreted by the ecm as a specific temperature. When you fiddle with resistance the the computer gets a false reading of actual temperature. this activity is the same as playing with the tps adjustment. Nothing is "fixed", but the ecm is tricked into believing the throttle angle is greater than actual.

Don't forget to take the cell phone and fire extinguisher !

How did you put that name back in there without me noticing it? -

D**n! You're a good writer...... -
Have you priced a carbon fibre part. I have an OEM green one you can have. You pay shipping$

The Geneva Convention outlawed twin Dellortos as a torture device. For those who have never had the oppurtunity, the throttle on my 87 SE is close to your wrist falling asleep and Carpal Tunnel syndrome x 10

I am a voyeur. I prefer watching them do a "manual job" and save it.
