Couldn’t believe it,fineally saw a 2014 Standard so they are getting out there. Also saw a 2013 but I think it’s the same one I saw a few years ago.

Anyone near Seattle interested in a fender eliminator in exchange for helping with development?

I have a 2014 DLX and after only 4 years and 11 thousand miles, it’s at the dealer for new pistons, rings, valves and honing of the cylinder wall.

I was experiencing massive vibes making my hair stand on end from head to toe. Then a loss of 5 mpg.

Heck it vibed more than my 1978 CB750.

I always use non ethanol (non eth gas station 3 miles from my house and next to my work)

And I always use proper oils, etc etc

Carbon build up on the pistons was so significant that it bent a valve and gouged the cylinder walls.

There was a previous owner, he sold it to me because he wasn’t riding as much as he wanted to, so maybe he was starting it in his garage and the carbon couldn’t burn off? Maybe he just rode it around his block?

All of my trips are at least 15 minutes but generally a half hour to an hour+

Regardless of that.. 4 years and 11 thousand miles on a Honda DOHC? That seems just crazy. Pretty devastating.. and expensive as cuss.

Anybody else have something like this happen?

Scouring the local Craigslist for neat used bikes this time of the year always seems to reveal some screaming deals. Here's what I found today:

2004 BMW R1100S with bags, new tires, all stock, 9300 miles, $3600

2014 BMW RNineT, all stock, 8200 miles, $7995

2014 Honda Interceptor Deluxe with OE panniers, as new, 5600 miles, $4800

2015 Honda Grom, as new, only 46 miles, $2200.

Lots and lots of nearly-new Harley's for low asking prices. Once Sturgis is over and September approaches, people dump these bikes while they still can. This time of the year is always a great buyer's market. Come to think of it, I bought my one-year old DLX for a song in mid-August 2015. It had been languishing at the Honda dealer for six weeks.

Look like the specs specified by Honda was not aligned with what has been dynoed or the way power measured is different! I did not have chance to have the stock setup dynoed but for sure it's way lower than the number publicized by the manufacturer

Mine is 2017 RS with Motogear header (Cat free) and BMS R-evo muffler, K&N air filter, TSR air intake, ZFI Bazzaz...
First dyno without tuning:87,9HP
2nd dyno with tuning: 89.5HP

Still not removing speed limiter so it stops at 180km/h

Had problems with my bike running rough on the way to work today almost like it was running on 2 cylinders and kinda sluggish. Anyone else have this issue? I’m gonna try the TPS sensor reset on the way home see if that works. The bike has a power commander v and a motogp works exhaust and a k&n air filter. I really need to get it dyno tuned but I don’t want this to be an issue when I take it in to have it done. Thanks guys.

Kawasaki H2 has set the world speed record for a production motorcycle. With the supercharger, it makes 100hp more (with a smaller engine) than the Panigale, the previous record holder.

was down in w va yesterday riding some crooked roads, and the fella i was following thought we missed a turn so he whipped into a small parking lot, very uneven, narrow , gravel, and i followed him in. knew it was a poor decision as soon as i saw the situation. Ended up dropping the fjr while trying to make a y turn. fell to the high side. typical damage, mirror, fairing, bar end, muffler, saddlebag. it pitched me off pretty hard. i knew i was hurt but sure not how bad.

after getting the bike back on 2 wheels, i tried continuing on but was in excruciating pain every time i pulled in clutch. after 30 miles i decided i couldn't continue the 3 day trip and decided to head home. in another 40 miles i could pick up an expressway which would lead to a turnpike which would take me most of the way home without shifting (except for 8 miles of unexpected construction with stop and go traffic that was a real surprise.) the freeway/turnpike was working pretty well but got to the point i could not stand the pain of pulling in the clutch. finally decided i wasn't going to make it and pulled over and texted my wife to get our son and meet me in a gas station about 45 miles from home. at that point i was in so much pain i couldn't hold the bike up when stopped, couldn't take my helmet off. i had ridden 250 miles and could not go any further.

they met me at the station, son took my helmet off, put the side stand down, and leaned bike into it, and helped me off the bike. He rode the bike home, wife took me to ER. xrays revealed fractured radial head of ulna in left elbow. shot of morphine for the pain, and a temporary cast from bicep to fingertips until swelling goes down. have to see ortho doc probably monday, then a plaster cast for 6 weeks. participation in this years fall mens trip is in jeopardy. so back home, pecking with one hand on the keyboard, and still in great pain (cant take pain meds due to the colitis). probably no riding for the next month and a half. what a crummy turn of events lol.
