Boxermanin, Well the bike is back running perfectly :biggrin: . the culpret this whole time was the primary coils...both of them (according to the dealer). I supect it started with one coil and spread to the other coil as I kept riding for a few days after the simptoms began. I checked the secondary...

Hi all, Re: 2004 Rockster with idle problems. I am here to update you on my progress. As I stated at the beginning of this thread, I am having some trouble with my idle and acceleration. the idle is not consitent. It seems to have cyclical miss firing. the bike will idle for 2-5 seconds then one sid...

Normand and the gang, So i did as you suggested and I got much better results. I took at test drive and it performs well up to about 5500-6000 rpms. Now instead of kicking into its power band at 5500rmps, it hold back a bit. Using the Manometer I performed the throttle body sync and the 3000 to 4000...

Mike,

Where would I look to find a plugged vent hose?

Normand,

your right, I did not do the 4000 rpm adjustment yet. I will do it this weekend and get back to you on the results.

thanks again,

Phil, I rode the bike this morning. Once it got warmed up it was backfiring a lot and vibrating and doing all kinds of surging. I did notice the TB work I did last night but it's clearly not the source of my problem. I am working on gathering the tools and information needed to do the valves and plu...

Boxermania and the Gang, I built my manometer and got a decent result, I think. I removed the BBAScrews and cleaned them being careful to note the original position. I shot the hole with a bit of WD 40, returned the BBAS to their original location and started my TB Sync. I took her for a ride and it...

Boxermania, No. Do you have a link for the device? I did perform a proceedure which I was told would sync the TB... It involved removing the TB fuse for 1 minute, returning the fuse, keying on the ignition, then full throttle on twice? I did not notice any changes after these steps. Later in the day...

Boxermania, thanks for the confirmation regarding the air leak and for the oil recommendation. I am a mechanic by necessity not by want. I would much rather be riding and today I was able to ride, but only after much renching. I first replaced the battery which needed to be done. then I replaced tho...

Airman, my description of that pipe connecting the head and the air filter was terrible. there is a plastic tube approximately 2" round that appears from below the seat. this 2" tube runs on both sides of the bike. They angles forward and out of the air filter/air intake chamber to meet th...

I live in chicago and ride a 05 r1150r. bike was running fine until Wednesday when I went to ride it early. the temp outside was about 42 degs. the bike started but after a minute of riding it started to idle spuratically and was all over the place when I hit the gas. I took it home and was not able...

BJ Thanks for the info. spoke to the wife last night and she doesn't want to go so-one up and 635 miles/per day it is. I had some 150 mile rides turn into all day events due to weather this past month so I can sympathise with bending to mother natures will. I planned the trip for end of August in th...

thanks, looks like the wife will have to fly on ahead ;/

I am planning a trip about 1350 miles across middle America each way. I would like to spend 5 to 6 days at my destination and I have 10 days to do the trip. I would like to do about 675 miles a day-2 days in a row with 5 or 6 days in between the return trip. Is that to ambitious? I am 31 years old a...

thanks,

went to the dealer and had to order the r style rails and luggage rack...200 bucks with hardware. My bike had the gs mounts for some reason. the last guy who had the bike probably got them used. Now I just have to decide on a top case and backrest for the wife.

thanks again.

I am a new Rock owner. I assumed adding a luggage rack and top case would be a matter of just picking our what looks and works best...wrong. for whatever reason my used rockster does not have the typical side case mounting bar. it seems to be missing the grab bars and more importantly the holes for ...
