So, she doesn't like sitting. Anyone else have that issue?

I travel a lot, so if she sits for more than 10 days or so I get the 'clickity clickity clickity' that tells me I'll be sweating very soon in my full gear pushing a motorcycle back uphill...:down:
She also does NOT like to be run started with a cold engine and cold tires. Obviously I'll get around to checking for a draw but I have the sneaking suspicion the Li-ion battery has had a rough life and needs replacement.

The good news is that poor dirty Stella ('08 STT) that has been sitting for months with no tender:( fired right up with no drama!

I really like that bike:love_heart: and the back to back comparison was interesting:) I also got to do a fun project on Stella while she was out to play:

Until her shifter broke the eff OFF on the way home from boxing... OFF:(

Rode all the way home in 3rd gear and even saw a white/red Firebolt and a Uly on the way! Suck it I-4's.....
 
(Sooooo.. quick question my 2015 sx early production has a red rear spring yours seems to be yeller?? )


Cooter's, bike is a 2014 SX, I believe, The 2015 SX are red as mine is as you can see.

Did you check battery voltage? Have charging the battery fixed the problem? If battery voltage is OK it might be ground issue.
 
i was under the impression that the color was used for different spring rates... there are some 2015 sx with yellow mine is red and some 2017s have red or yellow when i was looking to buy mine i noticed that..

TPEHAK: I haven't even checked for a draw. Charged it up and rode it, but then left again for 10 days and didn't even disconnect it because I'm lazy. I guess we'll both know when I get back! haha.

GREAT info on the springs! Thanks. I'll look for a red one to see if the ride or handling change dramatically. It's pretty stiff back there and I'm about 220 geared up.

More good info ! http://ebrforum.com/showthread.php?1083-DIY-How-to-quot-denoid-quot-your-1190-(SX-or-RX)
 
Thanks Thirtyfourcolonnineteen:) I'm in Scottsdale for the rest of the week:up: super busy... but I better get out of here before the weekend 105*:(

And thanks a bunch for the info Silver:up: I went down that wormhole and found everything I need for maintenance and de-noiding her.

Remove solenoid from inside the airbox, it's 3.1 pounds!!. (Maybe) zip tie (ahem safety wire) the two throttle body shafts together. Use the same resistor plug a 1125 uses part#Y0248.1am ($25) or Deutsch part#DT06-2S-P006 ($4) or if you're cheap like me, a 120 ohm resistor in the plug. You don't need the plug at all if you have a race ECM.

20/50 V-twin oil above 40*

and the air filter is the same as an 1125:)

and chain grease... geez I'm torn...haha so messy.
