I've looked at the receipt and it says that the carbs were balanced - the plugs wern't changed (It was a 4000 Mile service) Been looking on the different threads and found one on a similar problem. The solution may be to use pro boost during the colder weather - is this something that you've used ...

Out yesterday and the storm developed an anoying problem of cutting out at traffic lifghts - she was doing it on a regular basis. I've got a set of wolf cans and she never had this problem before, the tickover is about 12-1300 rpm. Apart from that she was running fine. It was bloody cold - could it ...

I'll be there on the Saturday (5th Feb)

If you want to meet up for a brew - let me know.

Phats!!!

I swapped my 2000 VFR 800 for my 2003 VTR, one thing you forgot to mention was---------- TYRES!!!! :lol: :lol: 2,400 miles and they are totally and utterly-- KNACKERED :D :D Less vibey than a VFR More grunt (Hence the tyre problem!!) YUM YUM!!! I get about 140 to a tank. Look at the links on this ...

Cheers guys, So far tonight I set the rear shock to 3 (It was on 2) and the little screw below in the middle (Counted how many turns from s to h and set it in the middle), then rode it on my favourite twisty road - a vast improvement, the bike turns a little more positivley and doesn't wallow so ...

Couple of guys I ride with have an SP1 and SP2 - the average about 80 to a tank - not bad considering they ride like nutters all the time!!!!!

But its a small price to pay for buying the ultimate Veee twin - you lucky bugger!!!



Phats!!

Its a 2003 (F2 model) - only had it a week, as far as i'm aware its all on standard settings - feels a bit soggy all round for fast twisty A and B roads so i'm not pushing it at the moment!!

Any advice on the settings would be appreciated.

Cheers

Greg (Phats!!)

Advice on suspension settings!!! Whats the best set up for fast road use - I don't want to start fiddling around and start upsetting things, so what do you guys recommend? Everything's set as standard at the moment - I just want to improve the standard bike's handling without spending any dosh ...

I just got rid of my Viffer on Friday - I used to have the 2000 800 - great bike, as the guys have said above the VTECH's have several problems - including Fueling problems Servicing cost (Especially the 16000 one - engine out job!!) It won't keep up with a storm!!! Handling's a bit lardy. I think ...
