I recently change my front tire due to excessive front end hop on braking which I attributed to a cupped front tire. The bike now has a much less severe hop more of an annoyance than the unsettling one it had before. I checked pressure 32psi balanced the tire and changed the fork oil during the tire change and at speed and in turns the bike feels great but when I apply the front brakes the front end shudders slightly and seems to hop up and down. The harder the brakes are applied the more it seems to hop. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks for the help

I love this bike I was thinking of getting a wing but this seems nearly as comfy two up and faster. Thoughts?

Assuming your 99 has the same FI logic as my 01:
If your kill switch is in the off position the FI light will remain on, constantly. Flip the switch to "run" and the pump relay should click & the pump should run for 2 seconds, followed by the FI light going out.
What I'm saying is if your FI light goes out 2 seconds after you switch to run, then you can rule out your switch as the problem.
As mentioned, do you hear the relay clicking on, and then off 2 seconds later after flipping the switch to the "run" position?
FI Light goes out but pump doesn't click or anything there is a click under the seat at the relay but no whine of the fuel pump I wonder if the relay under seat is faulty?

Have you verified that the kill switch is working properly. Voltage is going through it in the on position.
I haven't done any of the things that you guys have suggested. And im not sure if I even know how to check them.

I was riding to work and my 99 Blackbird the engine cutoff in the middle of the road with no warning. I got the bike home counted the FI light flashes on the dash I noticed that the fuel pump isn't energizing when engine run switch is flipped on and then ran through the trouble shooting procedure in the maint. manual the ignition pulse generator was the apparent problem. I ordered a new one installed it as well as replaced the fuel lines to the gas tank (dry rotting) put bike back together and same result bike wont start don't recall the FI light code but I noticed that the fuel pump still wasn't energizing when engine run switch was flipped on, from this I reason that the fuel pump may be faulty and ordered one off ebay installed it and the same result bike wont start fuel pump still not energizing but codes are no longer flashing. HELP cause my next move is to the stealership.
Not sure if this is related or not but I soldered the FI light harness wires several months ago.

Hi all, I went for a ride Friday nite and one of the guys I rode with informed me that my brake light wasn't working I checked it Sunday and determined that when I press the rear pedal hard the brake light illuminates inconsistently but front break lever application does not illuminate the brake light at all. Any advice on what to check and how to check it would be greatly appreciated. TIA for all the great advice! I have a 99 Bird with stock brake components.

If anyone out there has never heard of this product let me give you a brief note on them.
It's a automatic chain oiler, which has a tube from your intake area (carb or injection) which travels to a oil storage area,which in turn pumps drops of oil to your chain.
I had one of these on my Kawasaki 1000RX and it worked wonders, no messy chain oil all over my rear wheel...
I will be getting one very soon when my 02 xx arrives.

front wheel hops when front brake is used

That sounds logical and the bike has 47,000 miles on it 20,000 plus of which I put on it so maybe its time to change the wheel bearings or at least check them. I will do that and post the results.
