    Issue With Genmar Riser/heli Bars

    Funny you say that, I went out today, loosened the clamps and pulled the bars back as far as they would go as I tightened them down. Huge difference- it doesn't touch at all now on the left side and barely touches on the right. I had read there was some play in them but I didn't realize just how...

    Issue With Genmar Riser/heli Bars

    It sounds like mine is in the normal range then. I'm riding from FL to CA in a couple of days and taking some basic tools, if the contact still bothers me after I make it to the other coast I'll pull the riser. Thanks

    Issue With Genmar Riser/heli Bars

    I read that the Genmar 3/4" riser and Heli Bar combo worked on the GenII bikes, but after the install my throttle and turn signal housings are hitting the upper fairing at steering lock and the brake master is hitting my MRA windshield (the windshield fitment I knew might be an issue). I...

    Alternative fuel rail screws?

    That looks great. I didn't think they would have anything to match the step in the screw. I'll head down there and match them up.

    Alternative fuel rail screws?

    I had to drill out two of the cheese-metal screws holding on the fuel rail on my '08. As far as I can tell from calling around dealers don't bother to carry any parts in stock no matter how small or frequently stripped, so I have to order them in. Is there an aftermarket alternative, like an...

    Future turbo considerations looking at GenI and GenII bikes

    I looked into the PCV and you guys are right, it's a powerful device for under $400. I was stuck in my ways thinking about crude tuning boxes like the Apexi SAFC which just messed around with your maf/map signal to push the ECU up and down the fuel map. The last time I actually looked at the PC...

    Future turbo considerations looking at GenI and GenII bikes

    GenII it is! Picked up the Black/Red 2008 I was looking at. Only been on a few rides but it's a heck of a bike, much smoother and less brutal than I thought it would be. Turbo seems a bit silly after seeing just how fast the stocker will go with so little effort, but that doesn't do much to...

    Future turbo considerations looking at GenI and GenII bikes

    So the GenII ECU can do boost-referenced tuning but the GenI setup doesn't? That's good to know. I didn't know what to make of it when I first saw the TPS-based tuning. My DSM used a MAF setup and I worked on my buddy's car with a MAP conversion. I get why the stock setup uses the TPS tuning...

    Future turbo considerations looking at GenI and GenII bikes

    Hello, I've been watching the classifieds and checking out bikes for the last few weeks, and I'm going to look at two bikes this weekend, a well-kept 2007 and a low-mileage 2008. From everything I've read on the matter, the GenII is a better bike stock for stock in terms of suspension...
