Pretty much the opposite for me (my other is a Wing though). About 1 1/2 hours on the Bird and it feels like someone is pushing a very large knife through my knees. So it different for different people.

Do you BURP it by putting the air in the cap area or up from the bottom?

Great job!

Think of friction.

Why not plug them with rubber caps instead of "creating a short circuit"? Good job on the photos.

As I recall, when they went to the FI, they made the rad smaller.

To change the rear ride height. I never liked the looks of that one. Never looked strong enough to me. I have the non-adjustable one.

That looks like a great little pump XXRider.

No, it's the "Dark Side".

Once you get the carbs off, it's pretty easy. As far as getting it "dialed in", it has been different for different people on here. Mine were "set it and forget it" and it runs perfect. Others chose adjust it many times. I can't see how you could adjust the carbs without taking the tank off but I have never tried.

I have often thought how strange it is that a top fuel car can cover half the track (1/8 mile) at 275 mph but takes the other half of the track to go 330 mph (only 55 mph more). Oh, that is at 8,000 HP.

There is no fuel filter on a 97.

Thanks, information is a good thing.

I just checked the AFAM aluminum rear sprockets and they are $80. I always thought the steel cost more?

You can get a new Honda brand rear sprocket for $40?

I have the Dyno Jet kit with perfect results.

Try here:http://www.hdlparts.com/fiche_section_detail.asp Which is hondadirectline.com for 1999-03, it shows a total of 7 friction disc (it seems to be 2 of one kind and 5 of another) and 6 plates. The clutches for 97-98 are different. I have not used Honda direct.

Yea, a month or so ago in Motorcyclist magazine in the smart money section, it said that carbed Birds run cooler than FI ones.

I have bought it both ways.

Nice. How long did it take you to shine it?

So, how did he fix it?

It's your bike, do it if you want to. Post some photos when done.

http://secure.mycart.net/catalogs/catalog....;showprevnext=1 Connecting the map selection switch allows the rider to switch between two different maps within the Power Commander. For Touring Bikes this could be used to switch between a "fuel economy map" for long rides and a "full performance map." For sport bikes it could be used for applications such as "dry nitrous oxide" kits to permit the user to make the fuel mixture richer when activating the system. Additionally, if the Power Commander has an ignition module connected it can switch to a less aggressive timing map at the same time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gear Position/Speed Input Fuel and ignition timing (when using the Dynojet Ignition Module) adjustments can be made based on gear position or speed. If the user wants to advance the timing in lower gears while retarding it in higher gears this input makes that possible. (+/- 50% Fuel and +/- 10 Degrees of timing per gear) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pressure Input When using a Power Commander on turbocharged applications, the Boost input option (0-5v input) makes it possible to have the fuel automatically increase with boost level. In situations where the user has an adjustable boost controller, this makes remapping each time the boost level is changed unnecessary. (+/- 50% Fuel and +/- 10 Degrees of timing) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Relay Outputs (2) Based on the data from the Power Commander and the inputs from the Multi-Function Hub, a solenoid, relay, warning light, etc. can be triggered. This can be used to activate items such as a shift light, nitrous oxide system, or air shifter. (Activated based on Throttle % and/or RPM, 3 amp max output) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you can get many of the functions more expensive aftermarket ECU's offer! Automatically shift your bike (w/air shifter), activate your nitrous system (with dry nitrous kit), and automatically add more fuel!

Mine rubbed on the swingarm until until I spaced the can holders out from the bike with washers.
