    fender proublem

    Not to come off wrong here, but did you inspect the frame's neck for cracked or damaged weld's after the accident ? (specifically under the neck where it is hard to see). Though I dont know the detail's of the incident but just a thought.

    2" seems like a long way's off to me.

    I pulled of the triple and found it bent. I ordered a new one.

    Is this your origional fender?

    I have read about tracking errors of the forks when replaced. The fix was to loosen the tripple clamps and pinch/axel bolt and give the suspension a little bounce.

    If you have another bird near you, see if you can mount your fender on that bike.

    Joe is probably right that the fender is twisted, but it is more important that the front end is correct.

    That is another issue. My center stearing is off by two inces. I wonder if my triple is bent? How can I find out? I just put two new forks a nd a new axle on.

    Well gentlemen , and I mean that loosely, The problem was found. When I checked my plug wires I found that a wire was off of the coil for the two center cylinders. She sounds healthy now. Thanks for all of the direction in diagnoses. Hope to see some of you on the road some day.

    Is this thing running on all cylinders? The easy way to check is too feel the header pipes when the bike first starts up. Make sure all four heat up the same, but be quick about it, they get hot fast - when everything is normal.

    I found that the two outside cylinder pipes got hotter than those on the inside.

    If it is a 2000 Bird it should be fuel injected and my have clogged injectors or could be a bad throtle sensor. Not sure :icon_confused:

    If it is a throttle sensor I would get a fault code, right?

    Sure you put all the plug wires on tight?

    Was it low on power when you bought it?

    When I put plugs on I checked to make sure that the boot was all the way on. It never did have good throttle response or power.

    Here is a list I would start at:

    1) change plug's if not already changed

    2)put seafoam or other FI cleaning agent's in tank

    3)replace fuel filter

    4) see mechanic if that dosent work !!!!!!!!!!!

    Were is the fuel filter?

    Try some Seafoam fuel system cleaner.

    How many miles on the bike? History?

    Does it idle ok?

    It has 33667 miles, some times it will stall at an idle. I have had to turn up the idle a few times.

    Bought a very neglected 2000 bird this year. First thing I did was to change plugs and change oil,filters. The air filter was completely clogged, I do not know how it even ran! Since then I have put in a R/R ,battery and a new CCT. I noticed it was low in power and had poor throttle response.

    So today I filled her up with high test and allowed her to spread it's wings. At first she struggled to get 7500 RPM, the when it did it cut out. I kept trying to get above 8000 RPM until it would hold. It has cleared up and does not cut out but will only go 105 MPH at 8000 rpm in 6th gear. I am thinking it needs a valve adjustment. Any advice would help thanks.
