I have plenty of Vista's just waiting to ship out !
Pic of one installed? Last time I saw a Vista (around 2000) it was clunky and ugly.

Hate to bring this one back from the grave, but I'm having the same problem.
If I shim the Throttlemeister so that it holds the throttle tight when engaged, it drags when disengaged. If I add a shim, it lets the throttle return normally when off, but it really doesn't hold when it's on. If it won't hold tight when engaged, it's not worth having.
To me, the friction sleeve just doesn't have enough grip against the brass ring to do the job.
I also have these installed on heated grips, which extend at least an inch longer than the stock grip assembly.

Might be a dumb question, but could the electrolyte/acid solution be bad...or a faulty mix?

If there were a bunch of XX's there, it was me, because that was NEXXT.
If that was June 2007, yep. Your bike (white XX) made the highlights of our rally. White was unique, but the whole shark motif on the nose caught many people's eye.

You're kidding, right?
Pennsylvania.
Here's a link....

Comes stock. No Corbin, no Ohlins, no damper, no farkles, no blings, no rack...all stock....'cept for HID high beam and anything else I'm too lazy to take off.
Whoa!
I may have met you a couple of years back. Were you in a group ride that stopped at the tavern for lunch near the intersection of 44 and 664 in Haneyville?

I've only used BikeBandit to price check OEM parts (and to verify part numbers). I ordered from them when there were no reputable shops nearby and I always got ass raped on shipping costs.
I'd never think about going to them for non-part items.

Can you pull them off without unscrewing them? That means you stripped the threads.
Is it that no matter how tight you make them they still are loose? Maybe the bolts are too long and are hitting something before you finish tightening them.
Is it that no matter what you try, the bolts don't seem to get tighter and they fall right off? The bolts are too short.
I have no clue other than those gems.

You buy HONDA filters?
I go with the Purolator ONE filters. Rated best and nowhere near stealership prices.
When I'm in doubt, I put a fine mesh over the drain hole in my oil catch pan (it's one of those EZ haul to the oil recycling center) so I can see what exactly came out in the oil. If I see caked dirt fall in with the mix, I have an idea of how much of it I should see.

Not that I need to be spending money, but that 1980 Yamaha looks interesting for puttering about on.
FOUR BLACKBIRDS?

I don't have one to spare, but if you take the other bolt to a nut and bolt shop, they may have the size and thread you're looking for.
That's what I did when I wanted to put locking nuts on the inside so they wouldn't come loose.

Great.
Is there anything of use on the PCII cd that I'd want to recover?
-
That is the thread where I got my info from, but I was wondering what is the part # for just the RAM ball? Also, where do you buy RAM parts online? Thanks, G
Part No. RAM-B-309-3U from Express Mounts USA - http://www.expressmounts.com/
-
Pretty straightforward. I got a PCII from vetteman, and it's installed, but the original CD in his package is damaged from too much sitting in the garage (moisture isn't good for CDs....I have 5 other coasters at home I'm trying to recover that just went bad with age).
I got the software on Dynojet's webpage, but if anyone has a PCII with the original software (version 2.7.8.11) and and burn me a copy, I'd appreciate it.

Is the 1" RAM Ball, (used for this mounting job) part # RAM-B-337U ? This part # is a hole hex, 1/4"-20 female threaded, with the 1" ball. I just want to make sure I order the right ball to use this mounting set-up that you guys custom made. Thanks, G
Was this the thread you were looking for?

I don't know if there's a site with every map you can imagine, but when I Google, I'm not getting useful results.
1999 CBR1100XX....all stock equipment.
All I want to do with my PCII is improve the gas mileage to as best as possible. Anyone already have a map that does that for my setup?

$80? I'll take it. PM sent.

Zero,Stupid question in 3.....2......1.....Why is the key secured with what appears to be the largest zip tie known to man, to aforementioned handlebars?:icon_think:
If it's your only key, it'd be a bitch to lose it.
As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about. You may not know this, but you are not required to answer every question. In fact, if you're clueless it's better if you don't reply.
Anyho.....
That bike is at a salvage yard, waiting to be auctioned. Till it's sold, the yard desires the key to remain with the bike, pretty much what Pat said.
Didn't realize my piss could fly so far as to reach your Cheerios.
My reply was not much different from Pat830, so I guess I'm pretty darn "clueless."

I know a guy with a Ducati who showed up for a group ride. No keychain. The key slipped from his hands and went down that narrow gap between the key cylinder and his tank. We had to half disassemble his bike to fish the key back out of the engine.

I want to know WHY all the Corbin F/S ads appear AFTER I bought one at full retail. :icon_doh: :icon_think:
-
I've got over 50K ('99 model), no sign of trouble. Looking at the PDF, my first thought was that how soon this happen is directly tied to how the bike is stored. Mine is in a garage and never left out in the rain except for when I'm on trips.
If you live near the coast (salt water) or keep it outdoors (even with a cover), I'd expect this problem to crop up sooner.

OR....paint a picture of The Rock on it and call it the punisher and I am SURE someone will pay 10+ for it.
:icon_lol:
Dang, Dave....I was thinking the same thing.

Throttlemeister issue

I'll double-check that. I'd not want to glue anything until I'm certain it will work, but I'll watch and see if it's sliding in the sleeve.
