My question is....its been so hot here, that in the afternoon when I check the tires I have in stock on my porch, they are already sticky.
Does each day count as a heat cycle?

It's so hot here the tires melt to the pavement if I'm not moving, gotta put it on the centerstand everywhere I park!

Throttle lock is stuck, or you have one of the throttle cables bound up...

65k miles on the bike.
Valve clearance checked and still within specs.
Low tech Honda has its advantages.

Well duh! Carlos told you not to even bother checking them!
Go Honda go!

There were some internal valving changes at some point ('99, IIRC) but all years should be a direct swap as far as compatibilty is concerned, if that's what you're wondering.
There ya go!

Not sure, Joe would probally know. IIRC 97-98 are different from 99+

Special thanks to Warchild for this excellent writeup!
My Blackbird's engine, at ~60,000 miles, has been sounding like a "bag-o-marbles" for quite some time now. We had a Group Buy for the X-11 Cam Chain Tensioner (a much improved design, we are told) almost two years ago, but I never got around to installing it. Finally did so today, and the engine is silent as a tomb compared to what it was rattling like before!This took all of 10 minutes to do, and over half of that was removing/reinstalling the right-side cowling.
For those that haven't replaced their's yet, here's a brief summary:
____________________________________________________
Here is the X-11 Chain Chain Tension kit, comprise of the CCT itself, and the CCT gasket, which is p/n 14523-MAL-A00 on the left (gasket hidden behind cardboard packaging):
The CCT is located on the outboard right-side of the engine, slightly covered by the rear of the upper radiatior hose and coolant return line. It's held in place by two 5mm socket head bolts. Once these two bolts are removed, the old CCT lifts straight out. Here is the resultant opening, with traces of the old green gasket that I need to clean off:
Here's is the nice clean, shiny-black X-11 CCT that replaces the oem silver CCT. The X-11 CCT comes "pre-wound", with the windings held in place by a small steel "key" that you can just see inserted at the top of the CCT:
The old silver factory CCT had an 8mm bolt installed at the very top of the CCT, though I'm not sure it it had any real function other that to keep dirt/debris away from the opening. The X-11 CCT did not come with this bolt, but just in case it does serve a purpose, I decided to move it over to the X-11 version. Note small steel "key" that I just removed from the new CCT, allowing the Tensioner's "plunger" to descend as designed:
Ready to rock! CCT installed, bolts torqued, 8mm end cap in place.
HTH......

If it smells like fuel from the tailpipes it is obviously putting fuel in to the cyl's. Sounds to me like you have no spark and you're flooding the engine. Stop looking at all these other things, and see if there is a spark or not.
-
Here is Travis's Gearing Spreadsheet! This is very useful for calculating how changes to the chain and sprokets will affect the bikes gearing. If you have any questions regarding how to use this, what it does, or if you notice any mistaken please contact Travis.

Ah yes, the highly desired shop and parts manuals for the CBR1100XX Blackbird! Both are fairly big, so please right click on the link and pick 'Save Target As...' or 'Save Link As...' depending on what browser you are using. The parts manual is rather small, however the shop manual is very, very large. If you're on dialup be prepared for a long download, and I'd suggest using a download manager to ensure that you can resume the download in the event that it is interrupted.
Honda CBR1100XX Service Manual / Shop Manual - 146.32Mb is listed in the following post.
Honda CBR1100XX Genuine Honda Parts Catalog - 7.445Mb is listed in the following post.
These two very, very handy documents have been kindly provided to us by Joe! ( rockmeupto125 )
You'll need the latest version of Adobe Acrobat to view the PDF's, you can grab it from: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/

Any type of leather dye, coloring should work fine.

Please PM me with the GB details so I can make sure to announce it on the GB portion of the site.
Thanks Dale!

Are you sure you have the hoses on the tank correctly? Are you SURE?
.. are you getting a spark?
-
Ah yes, CALCXX's buzzard experience...

+1 on zip ties! If you're going far distances a spare R/R is always handy. The bird and VFR use the same R/R, and both died around 25,000ish. Of course, they -always- die in the worst place. The VFR died while up in northern Arizona on a holiday Monday where there was no dealer open anywhere... The bird died oh 60 miles outside of Blythe at 1 o'clock in the morning on a Saturday.
The way I look at it is the R/R IS going to die, so why not have a spare with you? You're going to use it eventually, so its not wasted funds.

IIRC the slides will be drilled as well.

Ya, check the chain. I had a noise that I could not pin down for the life of me, yet it turned out to be the chain. It looked fine, was within spec on being tight, and was well lubed, but there was one link that was bad that made the terrible noise.

This is the one real use for a Cat....
We have a cat
That should read 'We have a lazy cat'
-
Dunno if a 05 will work or not. For the most part, anything will work as long as it provides more power than the existing one. VFR and Blackbird R/R's are interchangable without any wiring changes - they're 100% identical including the plug, so if you see a VFR (94-97) that will work too..
Good reading: http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/about/bikes/...eg_replace.html
Actually, 90-97 I believe...

Not that I know much, but from what I'm reading it sounds like you have shorted out the ecu. Can you short the ECU on that year?
I ride a 2002 model FI XX, so I might be writing the biggest load of BS I don't know.
If the ECU was shorted or dead the injectors would not fire, hence the bike would not run. The FI light only comes on if the computer tells it to, hence its working ( and the bike runs ). Sounds like a sensor is bad, or you're tripping it with a custom MAP on a PC II

Bike Problems - Carb or exhaust popping out of 1 cylinder
in The Garage
Posted
Vac hose, exahust leak, carb leak, or a PAIR system leak. I dont have a PAIR system on my bike, so I can't say for sure, but if I remember correctly PAIR pulses air to help with emissions and could cause that sound as well.
