Coffee and bacon sandwich in Bath , I’ll probably have to take a mortgage out when I get the bill

Not so much with the blue one because i've only owned it for 5 years, but when the red one went after 22 years of ownership that hurt.

They both look like they've been 'enhanced ' to me . Is this anything to do with you @Sir Fallsalot ?

Since it seems that some are having fun with AI why not start a topic to share your worst ideas about the people around here (used https://ideogram.ai/ for these)

A straight 4 like that will go down to almost tickover in top gear and pull smoothly away with no issues at least my CB1000 did their not like the twin cylinder engines

Off to Scotland again

The power commander can be unplugged. There'll be 4 plugs, once disconnected you'll see the plugs will go back together as the PC only joins into the Oxy sensor and injectors if I remember right. If there's no difference you can plug it back in, the map will still be on there. If you get the tank up to change the plugs you can get a good look around link pipes, plugs and joints. Been hearing of fake NGK plugs being sold on eBay, don't know how true that is. Buck and Freds suggestions are a low cost tries so worth a go but it sounds like a Vac leak to me, or possible map sensor.

Glazing in the throttle body from being stood, put some Wynns through it.

You should add that it hasn’t got any bite marks.

I will confer but that is BOTM material!

When i typed it in it came up with this

so having stopped using the car and hopefully in the process of returning it im now on the busa full time but where its been stood for intermittent amounts of time idle and low rpm it runs rough but at WOT it runs very well, its had a good 6 or 7 tanks worth of fuel through it since iv started using it full time yet it runs no better. when cold it idles reasonably ok at around 1300-1500rpm when hot it hunts/misses between 1600-1800rpm and anywhere below 4k its very stuttery and missy but anything over 4k to the red line it runs sweet as could be, it has a full yoshi system and power commander along with a logic quick shifter, and occassionally it doesnt like starting but thats due to cheapo levers playing silly buggers with the clutch switch, not checked it but pretty sure the battery is good as its been on optimate alot. i know it could do with a service but just wondering if anyone in the know could point me anywhere else to be checking as possible causes. i know at idle it is prob running very rich as the exhaust smells pretty strong of fuel but as with everything nowadays its all bloody electronic and im not great with electronics things.

yea they "sorted" it alright, they deleted the adblu and then i started getting other faults with it so contacted the finance company and told them as the car is theirs they can deal with it which they got an inspection done on the car so hopefully they will say its not fit for purpose and reliable as would be expected of a 10k car and hand it back to the stealers i got it from

it doesnt mind riding around in top at near tickover and pulls cleanly right up to red line when its running right. i will go get a fuel system cleaner and bung it in the tank and take it for a blast and see if it improves things then ill give it a service if it still isnt right.

Sadly slowly wont submit it

Nice

I have watched a few of these videos, dude works in England and specialises is carbed Japanese sportsbikes, it’s educational and weirdly addictive.

The Ark and the Darkness. Well worth a watch unless you are afraid of your limited world view being challenged.

I've never had any experience with them so can't really answer that but since there was nothing wrong with the bike before it was parked up i would be looking at the air filter make sure nothing has moved in there and checking spark plugs but if it runs ok at higher revs the plugs should be ok. I don't want to worry him but i had a problem with the CDI on my old VFR years ago it would tick over ok but would be spluttering until i got over 6k and then it was fine fault was intermittent though so wasn't always there and it changed to running ok up to 6k and then spluttering after that sometimes.

The spring i fitted on the Beta has made a difference over the stock one in a good way, i was happy with the stock spring until a couple of weeks ago when i turned the pre load up on the front spring which got rid of all the deflections i was having on rocky ground and it also ironed out the small bumps on the road making the ride smoother, but it highlighted the rear was doing the same so i thought i'd swap the spring night before last that i kept off the 22 bike, now front and rear compliment each other the ride on the road is a lot smoother and off road it has made a big difference once i tweaked with the damping. It now rides pretty flat over the shallow whoops at a good speed without bottoming out on the start of my mountain track. i'm convinced the 22 bike had duff suspension from the factory because the manual says their the same but they are totally different.

Well it's fuel or electrics. Personally I don't like power commanders , they usually just bung more fuel in to fool you that it's increased the power .

Both great songs.

Still looks like a dildo.

Nice! When are you changing the rest of it?
