They said that the choke was sticking on..... 8O It's still not 100%. Still too vibey for my liking. Yes I know V twins pulsate and the like but this one is a bit too harsh. Just gonna grin and bear it. Wait until it either blows up and then throw my teddy at the dealer or see if they pick any thin...

I too found this site after a quick Google just before I picked up my vtr. mainly lurk, but pipe up sometimes - hopefully more when i've got more to offer! As far as advertising the site goes, the TDM site I used to frequent (Carpe TDM) organised t-shirts etc and also number plates with site logo wh...

Watcha Craigybaby, My VTR is still vibrating lots and generally performing quite poorly. A mix of mechanical ineptitide and lack of money has meant it has stayed the way it was when I bought it. Vibrates pretty much more and more as revs increase. 5K is very bad (about 95mph). You can feel the pain ...

Erm, I had a TDM850 before the VTR and yes, I loved it. Thats why I had to have another bug twin (fnar). Very under-rated bike indeed, lovely engine. Nice and upright, so you could really fling it around slow country roads and really get a shift on. And you could crack the throttle open and spin the...

Yeah! I went Friday after work - got there at about 9. Put tent up and off for a beer and wander around. Fantastic! The atmosphere was great. Back to tent 3ish and sat for a last celebration stogey before turning in. Saturday saw some drag racing and the awsome rocket car - gotta see it to believe i...

Yup, allo Glyn. I'm new here too! Nice VTR there - you must be well chuffed!

piss poor fuel range and chocolate CCT's are not clever and should have been dealt with years ago. at the same time the Hayabusa's subframes kept breaking perhaps? I have NEVER been outrun on twisties by Blades or anything else. If they want to come past at 120/130/150/180? mph on the straighs then...

Anyone going? Any thoughts?

Pete.l - wise words, you're right there. It'd be just like me to filter to the front of the lights, stall and topple off when they change! Eric 49 - thats really cool of you! I'd really like to do that - obviously at a time that suits you. I can finally be at peace with the bike then - or get it sor...

Craig, If you see a change in resistance when you turn the throttle it's working or if you want to be more accurate you can put the plug back on, turn the ignition on and check for a change in voltage back at the ECU. i can't remember the exact pins or voltages off the top of my head but if you fee...

[quote="Pete.L yep I agree. It even quotes that in the Haynes book of lies :D I've only ever measured 3 different ones and they were all around the 4.8 K mark. First I thought I was measuring it wrong but when the other two were like it and I started hearing stories of people bending the little...

Just as well it's gone Max it's a myth gone wrong. The TPS (as Max rightly said) adjusts the timing electronically slightly depending on the position of the throttle. The problem with the right ups is they have the decimal point in the wrong place and if you set it for 5oo ohms your tickover will i...

HI I bought my storm in april(11K miles) and i absolutey love it. 2) flat and unresponsive? my storm is standard and it goes like poop off a shovel, pulls well from low revs and over 6 thou it goes like a rocket. 3) it does vibrate a good bit more than an IL4,i used to get numb fingers ive got used...

1.. I'm really attached to mine too. I'm so gutted Honda have stopped making them. 2. my bike is totally standard - ridden by two old duffers previously (apologies to any old duffers here) Another VTR rider has ridden mine and says its a bit down on power so it's at the garage being examined at the...

Hello, welcome aboard. 1) Pervert 2)Yes, decent exhausts will make it breath more easily and make it feel much snappier. I'd recommend scorpion race pipes. Sound brilliant and no re-jetting required (and I just happen to have a set lying in my garage un-needed) :roll: 3) Yes, twins vibrate a bit mo...
