blacksheep Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Last summer I purchased 2003 XX and unfortunately I did not get much riding time. Well I've been riding alittle more this spring and noticed a few things. My front end seems alittle soft, the bike shifts hard after riding awhile and although power is not a problem I notice a bit of vibration when accelerating. The only things I've had done to the bike is an oil change and I had a problem when starting my bike after it was warmed up. As far as I can tell all the Dealership did was increase my idle which seems to high now 1300rpms. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbird Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Soft front end- new springs, especially if you're over 180. Vibrations- first thing I'd check is the chain. I had a problem when starting my bike after it was warmed up. How long did it sit, and how did you maintain the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksheep Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 I started it at least a couple times a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmike Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 ..if you're gonna let it sit for any length of time... Get and use a "smart" trickle charger, to let the battery "live long and prosper"... Fresh fuel (sitting too long, it'll go "stale"), and add a fuel stabilizer (Sea Foam Sta-Bil, etc..) to keep the fuel healthier longer...
