Well thanks for your help, guys! Got it all flushed out and filled back up. Took it for a spin and got clipped by a car. I saw him flying up behind me and swerved left, lucky guess cause he swerved right and clipped my muffler.
At first I thought it was just bent, but got it back and saw there was a tear in it up closer to the bike....
God bless
-
Sorry to hear that... I guess if you have asked another question here, that would have delayed the time you changed the coolant and that car would be way far away when you took the bike for a spin.. hmmm...
-
what the hell! looks like a hit to me! got the insurance number? its a rear ender for sure!
-
:o Far friggin out Johnboy ! Geez you were lucky mate. That dickhead could have taken your leg off, or worse. Glad you're okay though .. you are aren't you ?? I hope the clown's going to pay for the damage. Looking at that photo, that whack wouldn't have done the rest of your exhaust much good either sport, so make you check it out and get him to fix you up for it. Meanwhile, go buy yourself a lottery ticket. ;)
Regards, Hairy Bob.

Well actually that side of the bike is all torn up from before when a lady without insurance hit me.
He was real apologetic so I told him I'd bend the muffler back myself, no big deal really.
I like it, it adds character. It's starting to look like something out of Mad Max.
And "lol" at "meanwhile go buy yourself a lottery ticket"
-
??? Bloody hell Big John, have you got a target painted on you or something? Some sheila hit you before this as well ?? Maybe you need to activate the force field when you go out riding Amigo.
-
lol
Yea maybe, looks like the Venox can handle it though. It's record is starting to speak for it's durability, that thing still runs perfect!
-
Hey speaking of running perfect, what would make it cut out at a stop light?
It's otherwise running great, nice idle, acceleration, top speed and everything. But it likes to to cut out, start right back up, and run perfect again. Only happens at stop lights, once every 20-30 km.
I had a single cylinder 650 Savage that did the same thing only not as often.
Any ideas?
-
idle set too low, one cylinder not firing in idle> balance issue, mixture too lean. one or the other or all. start ddx!
-
It seems to idle fine, but I have no way of seeing the RPM at an idle. Based on feel though, it seems fine.
It seems to be worse if I coast in neutral to my stops, as opposed to downshifting to them.
Any ideas?
-
WTF DUDE? Raise the Frikin' IDLE. It will be DONE.
We've all told you but you don't fix it, and keep asking. It will take 30 seconds to fix it. I promise.
-
here is a little trick to check the idle rpm, but you got to know some remote control model aircraft people. there is an optic tech gauge that heli flyers and plane flyers use to check there prop speed. set the gauge to 2 prop and hold it against the neutral light, then multiply the rev by 2 is your rpm speed!
Good luck! by the way venox has a higher idle rev to other shoppers out there.
and are both pipes having the same strength of pulsating in idle?
-
That is one cool trick Max.

Only slightly off topic... but being in neutral at a stop is a habit you need to break. Always always always downshift to first at every stop so when the next idiot fills your mirrors you can escape.

I just HAVE to...
You won't take the ONE easy piece of advice on your thread that will help find the problem so you Jack someone else's thread asking the same question, and get the same answers. Then you state it idles fine but it just won't idle. Still not even TRYING the easiest solution.
Lets try this... Open the seat, and remove the pet carrier, and the seat. Next remove the carbs/ fuel tank / and anything else that is connected to them. Put them all in a pick-up truck bed, and drive the whole lot off a bridge.
If that works post up so others w/ the same issue will know how to fix it'
I assume a few things here... You are intimidated by all the screws, and shiny things that came with the bike. That's normal.
You have never tried to fix a motorcycle before, and you came out here asking for help. That's normal.
You may not know what the parts or systems are that we are describing are or look like. More normal stuff
You don't know another way to describe what you a thinking, and it's frustrating the crap out of you. Give you that one too.
Please don't feel maligned or spoken down to because that is not the intent. The intent is too help fix the bike.
Bring it to a shop, or try doing ONE thing suggested. Any one thing will do. If you want a step by step... ask.
If you are just some random A hole dicking around then I give you props! BUT that's not so normal.

Dang Zombie, relax dude. I think you may be confusing me with somebody else because I've never asked that question before.
If you're referring to my other posts earlier this season, about the bike running rough, I took the advice of the seafoam and got the bike running great after some plugs and gas treatment.
All I was saying was it seems to idle fine, but still cuts out. If it idles fine I don't want to mask another problem that could get worse by covering the symptom with an increased idle.
I'm not, in your words "just another A hole"
Relax man.
-
And this was my thread
-
:o :o :o
-
ok, I adjusted the idle, geez.
-
It's just a misunderstanding...
-
Yes, vivo, seems to be.

Oh... Never mind..
Ps... What IF the idle is just low? Would raising it be considered masking it? Just sayin.

Good! How's that working out for ya?
-

Yep! My bad.

So how bout them Yankees? Looks like they might take the pennant... AGAIN! ;D

Sorry! :-*

Q: Did you hear the New York Yankees are moving to the Philippines?
A: They are going to be called the Manila Folders! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I guess that's funny there... Ha Ha

On ya Vivo for defusing that one mate, the lads were starting to burr up a bit there hey.
-
No worries bro!
And thanks to everybody for the help!
-
Hey there John. I must admit I was a little surprised at the response you got and where that thread was going to go. ( Z - you a very naughty boy ! Now you just go and stand in the time out corner and think about the error of your ways young fella. ) Anyway it's nearly the weekend so I hope everyone gets time to get a nice ride in and chill out. I know I'm going to.
Regards, Hairy Bob.
-
Come on... You guys make me laugh my ass off all night.
And look at how many bikes get fixed every week. These bikes are so simple that people who never owned a tool in their life can get on the net, and rebuild the whole thing in a few days.
I just muck around cause it is so easy to fix these things I can't possibly take it seriously. The people who panic, and think it's important are the ones I pick out of the heard... Give em something else to focus on, survival. That's important. Not the F'n moped. ;D

It would cost 1,500.00 to get it here... I'm thinking of a new path... Rat Bikes. The ZX is sitting so I'm thinking of stripping it / selling the body, seat, headset, and making a 8-9' long three seater complete w/ Buffalo skull.
I like those Viet Nam type rat bikes

Can I come out of the corner now? I gotta do pee.
