so how can you get rid of it?

There are some reports of 'Kill' switches going bad...... this may be your problem. When the switch opens, it cuts off a main relay on the entire electrical system. Bike's as dead as a door post. Next time you start your bike, try wiggling the kill switch side to side (don't push the rocker to 'kill', on the 'run' part of the switch, slide it side to side) .... if it dies, you know the contacts are going.

[quote=oscarg85;276548]hey guys well let me start by saying the way this economy is coming down on us, we need to stay together as one big forum! my story... about 2 days ago coming back from school i was going on the freeway, when around 7-8000 rpm my bike started stalling like i just abruptaly just rolled of the throutle. so i continued on my way home, stopped at a light and my bike turn off. i quicly restarted it and as i was getting away...

You cant really hear it with the stock exhaust, thats why everyone notices it when they install an aftermarket exhaust. I removed it on my bike but only because I removed the cat and you really need both to work together. It did smooth out shifts a...

Hi RJ2112, It doesnt always misfire and run rough at first,come & go. Now it seems to be like that when the bike is idling but when riding it come & go. We will start looking at the wires to the coil,the plug and plug cap for #4 cylinder had been swapped with the rest and the temp remains at 80-120 degree celsius. Thanks for the head start. The spark plug for #4 looks white tan and dry, diff from the rest which looks dark tan...

I have Two Bro's and also am dyno'd with a PClll. It's very rare I ever hear de-cel pop. Maybe if I'm hooting it up a bit and am using more compression braking in turns going down a mountain. There was a rider on a FZ1 with an after market GP pipe, that joined with a group of us FZ6 Forum riders a few weeks ago and when he was compression braking, he had god awful de-cel pop! Keep in mind that if you opt for an aftermarket...

You say you ran out of gas at the track day? Maybe you sucked some schmeg into the filter or fuel lines, does it soud like its not getting gas? Good luck! Let us know.

I bought a Speedo Healer V4 and thought that I would post the correction information that they claim: Stock Front is 16T and Rear is 46T Stock Gearing: -5.2% error 15T Front Swap: -11.1% error 17T Front Swap: +0.7% error 49T Rear Swap: -11.0% error 15T & 48T Swap: -14.8% error For those of you that don't want to shell out the cash for the correction, this is the math you need to do in your head when your out on the road. I...

I have custom ends on my M4's which mean it isn't quite as open as they had initially been but it cut down the noise a bit. That being said I have extreme popping now, so I'll be hopefully getting the bike dyno'd soon and will let you know if that helps. I have a PCIII I installed but obviously no one else has my exact exhaust so I can't get a already made map. I did play around with maps until I found one that seems...
