CHOKED OUT!!! Help...

jdbrown12 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:05:33 GMT

long story short: a friend of a friend was doing some tuning on my 06 Busa LE. Well he went out for a night and didnt come home, car accident. Now the bike will only run if I have the choke on all the way. As soon as I take the choke off it dies.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Mods:
No PAIR
Big air box mod (floor cut out)
K&N Filter
Micron 4-2-1 (can cleared out, straight through)
PCIII

I am not sure what he was doing or where he was going with it...Im stuck!
Please...anyone???!!

:banghead:Thanks, JD.:please:

Rumor Control

hottrodd7 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:44:35 GMT

So today I heard this "unconfirmed"--and I repeat "unconfirmed" rumor. Since most folks here know more than I do--I thought I'd check it here first. Here's the story:

Suzuki is pulling all sales of its products out of the US market. That includes autos, cycles, atv's. It seems that the auto arm of the company is in such bad shape (so many dealers closing) that the Corporation can't afford any more blood letting of money and therefore will pull completly out of the US market.

NOW---Please tell me what I heard is WRONG!:please:

New Shoes on the way.

I just ordered some Avon Storm tires for my baby. I can't wait:banana:. This will be my first new set since the stock rear started showing some threads. The stock tires did last pretty good though, I got about 9200 miles out of them.

pilot road 2 or avon storms

Well its time for tyres (Front and rear) I have gone thru 2 bto15 rears and the std bto15 front (gen 2) and now want to try a dual compound tyre that will last a bit longer and perhaps corner just as well.

I have narrowed my search down to either pilot road 2 or avon storms, both seem to get good reports. I was hoping to hear from anyone who can help me decide between these two (has anyone tried both). Any feed back would be appreciated.

A 3 year old bike stand + A pipe from work + a case of Boulevard beer = custom made 360 bike stand.

i gave him the measurment and it works perfect. lifted the bike with ease. feels much stronger with that thick pipe we stuck on there. i got some tubing at the end of those little extentions now. fit great under that little arch at the end of the swingarm

Also, what did you pay.......Looking at 7x14 ???

Which is the best stand for my '99 Busa?

84Ninja — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:17:56 GMT

Hi guys. I was looking at the different kinds of stands the other day and I am clueless as to which would be the best for lubing the chain, or just cleaning the rim. I only want a back one, but should I get a front as well? thanks::4

Competition Accessories

If you have given this company your business in the past like I have you may want to re-think any future purchases. I have worn Arai helmets for 15+ years I started looking for a new dirt / dual sport helmet. I noticed the Arai XD was not my shell type, so the sales person at Competition Accessories suggested I try the new Shoei Hornet DS. I asked what if I don�t like it, what if it does not fit? He stated no problem we accept returned helmets for exchange as long as it is in the same shape it was shipped in. So I received this Shoei when I get it out of the box I find the upper shield laying in the helmet bag with three of the very cheap plastic screws broken also there were some very light scratches on the side of the lid (prolly from the shield rubbing). Ok so I call Comp Acc for a new set of screws while I have them on the phone I tell them of the scratches the sales guy says no big deal things like that happen during shipping. So after 2 weeks I receive my plastic screws meanwhile I have been wearing this Shoei around the house it does not fit me very well and is just not an Arai. So I put on the visor with the new screws try and learn to like this helmet but just can�t do it. So I call Comp Acc up get my returned lined out and send it on its way. 4 days after I send it I receive a email stating they will not accept the helmet for exchange due to damage now get this the damage they wrote about in the email is exactly what I told the sales guy about. So today I call and speak with the manager I give him dates, times, sales person spoken with, etc. All to no avail he has decided my helmet can�t be exchanged WTF and get this he has never even seen the helmet. So to make this long story shorter I won�t be giving them any more of my business.

Navigation/MP3/Radio confusion....

au03z71 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:31:16 GMT

I was looking at the Zumo 550 and it has mp3 and XM capability. My question is, does the mp3/XM play through a speaker in the GPS itself or will I have to install speakers and/or get bluetooth earsets to go in my helmets? All reviews show that the 550 is awesome, I'm just wondering what else I'd need to outfit the bike with to get it to work.
