Brings tears to my eyes to hear mike is gone. Rip old friend. He was a really really good guy. Loved his bike and actually rode it like a pro. His tires had no chicken strips!

Hahhaha, I always read this posts months later.. thank you for the dancer.

Need to do a little suspension tuning as I made a chassis adjustment while I had the bike apart but all in all she is running well :thumbup: http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/mrclean97996/091_zpsllf4nkmt.jpg http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r776/mrclean97996/089_zpskkzlohrv.jpg Nice one 8...

Something cropped up on another thread with similar symptoms. Do you have an early or later model vtr with the PAIR system. If so the PAIR would be an area to investigate. Also check the front vacuum. The bit I don't understand is that you say the bike runs as sweet as a nut and you would have some...

The missing plug was the problem! Now it runs and idles smooth. Got all of my ponies back too! So for those having the same idling and starting problems DONT forget to check your plugs and check for vacuum leaks. Just that little plug made my bike start hugly, idle rough, exaust pop and made me real...

Ill finish putting it together in a couple days.. So Ill know them.. I also noticed that one of the T connec...

Happy late b-day!! Thanks for all your help!
