A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
Very sorry to hear about this. I hope for the most speedy and pain free recovery possible for you. Thanks for posting your experience, even though it was bad. It will help to caution others to be more careful too.
Whenever friends or family ask me about riding, I try to discourage them exactly...
I figured out a much simpler and easier way. This seems to be a bug in the forum software.
When creating a new message, I noticed that sometimes it would not allow me to insert a picture, and other times it did.
The difference seems to be that if the message contains a QUOTE, it allows it. If...
This guy has the exact opposite problem. His rear brakes were hardly worn at all, but the front ones were toast. His mechanic is still looking for the problem :cool:
Normally I would say you probably had your toe on the brake pedal or a caliper that doesn't retract like it should. But the mechanic should have checked for that.
But since this is one of those fancy DCT models with the computer controlled integrated front and rear brakes, I wonder. Could a...
Putting the DCT rear sprocket on the X would drop the teeth from 43 to 39.
At 70MPH, this would reduce engine RPM from 3522 to 3194.
I was unable to upload a file to the forum, but here is a link to mediafire download.

Honda did. The DCT model has 39 teeth on the rear sprocket, vs 43 on the X. The primary and secondary is different too.
1st and 2nd gear have higher ratios on the X, but 3-6 are identical with 6th being .837 overdrive. Page 131 in the owners manual.
My calculations show the DCT going 1MPH...
I got tired of waiting so I called Rocky Mountain ATV/MC and now they are telling me they will finally have my last two items in stock on the 18th. Then they will ship to me, so I will be lucky if I have them on the 20th.
I definitely would not have ordered from them if I had known this in...
That might be it! Cant find any pictures anywhere on google. Cant find the part number anywhere that isn't in Japanese. But it may be it. I guess somebody will have to order this and find out if it works :cool:
Before you believe yours will also lower by 1/2 inch like OCR's did, have a look at the load he has been carrying on his ;)
And OCR, don't sell yourself short, fat and ugly. On the internet you can tell everyone you are a great looking dude with a 6-pack, and who's gonna know?
:cool:
I have not yet installed them, But I ordered the Lust Racing links and have them sitting in the garage waiting for me to install them. I have several things I want to do all at once to the bike and was thinking of waiting for a rainy week.
I decided to go with the Solid and not adjustable...
So it will not prime once it gets power? Are you sure of this?
Ok I will edit this. I went to that infinite source of all wisdom and knowledge (Google) :D
It is for certain that the fuel pump requires a certain voltage before it will work, and it is certain that the engine is not going to...
Someone else earlier in the thread had posted a similar statement, except they had said it would not "bump start" unless the battery had 10+ volts for the fuel injector.
What is being overlooked there is that once the bike was running, the alternator would continue to supply electricity to keep...
The bike is assembled in Thailand. Not sure if that means the engine didn't come from Japan or not.
Honda is really making great strides in cutting costs with its new bikes. I suppose they have too as the Chinese knockoffs keep getting better. Part of the cost savings comes from global...
Thank you for the information. Very helpful to know. Since I am STILL waiting for my back ordered parts, I have not done anything yet.
Your solution is almost as good as one key in my opinion. You would not have to remove the key from the ignition to open one of the boxes. I am probably going...
