Adjusted the idle back down to normal after having to crank it up to about 3k in order to get home last night. Got off the freeway and every time I closed the throttle it sputtered and died. Spitting and sputtering even at that RPM last night, and smelling quite rich. No codes. Checked TPS and it was set at about 2.5k RPM, so that's not it. Removed the aTRE. We will see what happens, but last time it started acting like this it was always in the evenings, never the mornings. So frustrating...

Check the plugs?

Only a few k on them. Every time I've ever pulled them they were spotless...

installed aTRE yesterday and rode it to work this morning. Not a huge difference but a bit smoother in stop and go.

Also fitted my garage door opener under the front fairing, hidden from public eye but I can reach it with my right hand while holding the clutch with the left when pulling into my driveway

Nice!

This is what I was up to last night: http://www.svrider.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4898618#post4898618

Nice electrical work.. looks like you had the parts bought already a while back! (our Radioshacks went out of business sometime last year if I recall correctly)

 

[GuilderlandGreg]

Bought them last week actually. There are several physical Radio Shacks still open in New York's Capital Region. (Surprisingly!)

I removed the reflective wheel stickers that the original owner installed. After trying multiple solvents and a heat gun, with no real luck, I found a post on another bike forum that suggested plastic razor blades. They worked pretty well, but it was still quite a bit of work. Guardsman dry cleaning fluid was very effective at removing the glue residue.

I also installed a simple, LED battery monitor from Gammatronix. I mounted it in one of the fairing supports where it can be easily seen while sitting on the bike but doesn’t intrude into normal view.

Original radiator mount sheared off so my friend fabricated something for me real quick.


Came out from work to find that a crackhead stole my mirror and the cap to my front brake reservoir.


My solution so I could get home

Installed my new MadScientistMoto brake and clutch levers! They're extremely nice pieces for $56 shipped. Also threw on the new CRG lanesplitter mirror on the left side.

Put it on eBay due to my bad knees. Getting old sucks!

Started my handlebar swap. (Which turned out to be a bigger PIA than I expected)

Fixed the PO's wiring mistakes for the Vapor speedo/tach.

A short in the 12v+ wire wasn't helping. His plugging the power jack into the tach socket and the tach jack into the power socket wasn't helping much either...

So now I have a tach and it appears I've been rumbling around at 3K and rarely go over 5K.

Put my new chain on, Did some fiber-glassing on my R6 belly pan to fit around my Yosh exhaust, cleaned the brake calipers and put new race pads in. Cut some notches in my custom sub frame so I can mount my penske reservoir, and cut some of the upper R6 fairing to clear my brake lever. It's been kind of a pain in the A$$ fitting these R6 fairings to my 2006 SV

Noticed that my rad is starting to leak a little more than before. Time to think about getting a replacement, and considering Bighammer's idea of a Gen1 rad on my Gen2.

BH - if you see this I'd love to hear about everything that was required to make it fit...

Well yesterday I bought a Sena SMH5-FM for my helmet.

So it wasn't today nor was it for my SV that I don't own.. Why am I here in this thread again?

:headscratch:

Anyway I was thinking of doing a writeup once I got it on a few forums. Maybe I'll post it up here in the product reviews section.

Ran out of gas. And found out my fuel warning lights don't work. In that order...

Check that plug under the tank. I did the same thing, turned out the plug wasn't plugged in all the way.

That was the long 5 miles I have ever walked/ pushed a bike :facepalm:
