[That odd vibration you feel...]

Maybe I missed it, but, HOW THE FCK DID THAT HAPPEN?

[rattling clutch]

Yes, the rattle is normal. It scared me at first too. Now I kind of like it; it makes the bike sound like a giant gringing machine.

Thanks, Ian!

 

[Racing Fuel]

I've used Sunoco MO2X in my Le Mans and can feel the difference! It's about 115 octane. I run it pure and I've run it mixed. The horsepower increase is noticeable.

Wow, that high? I was thinking of a bit to boost the regualr octane a bit. I've got some mods, but I don't think I have enough to do justice to 115 octane.

 

Thanks for the info.

[Racing Fuel]

Very wise ones,

 

The underwater anarchist and I are thinking about getting a 5-gal drum of racing fuel and adding a bit to our normal fuel to see if we dig it.

 

Is this worth it? A good or bad idea? If yes, how much should we add?

[Stabilized fuel and performance]

Wise ones,

 

Since I don't know how long my fuel will be in my tank over the winter, I put in some stabilizer over the weekend and then rode about 15 mi. Is it my imagination, or does stabilizing the fuel boost the performance? It seemed like everything smoothed out -- quite noticably -- and my acceleration was quicker.

 

Anybody have any comments on this? Am I just dreaming?

[Ferracci Performance...anyone had experience?]

I have the airbox kit and it kicks ass. I get a noticeable powerboost in the mid to hi RPM's. My passing power is right there. Plus, your bike will bloody roar.

[OOOPPPPSS!]

I don't think the alt cover gets very hot; mine's made of plastic. I wouldn't worry about it. If it's "heat resistant" paint it shouldn't be flamable when dry.

[and speaking of helmets...]

Aw, c'mon. Don't tell me my cheepo helmet is more functional than your superpwer superdeluxe helmet with retractable faceplates and sunvisors!?!

 

Tighten that puppy up and get on the good foot. That psychotic wind resistance is just telling you that you're alive, man.

[Cutting hole in Airbox]

Then I looked at the picture and got worried. The filter holder in the picture on the FBF has two bolts in the rear, my air box has one bolt.

I just installed the kit on my Stone. Don't worry, they have you covered. They have bolts included for your bike; you can use only two of the fasteners, they slide to where you need them.

 

The performance is very noticable, especially when you reprogram your powercommander. If you are thinking about getting one, stop everything and do it now.

 

Enjoy,

[Moly Adds]

Hi,

 

I read where Rich M. put moly in his gearbox and liked the effect. Anyone else done this? Any potential drawbacks? What about moly in the engine?

[Spark plugs redux]

I saw that, but I didn't read that anyone had tried them.

[Spark plugs redux]

So, did anyone ever try those BRISK plugs?

I lurk on this website because I don't have a V11 sport or LeMans; I have a V11Stone. But, I like a lot of the info here and so I keep an eye on it. If you guys don't mind a posting from a cruiser every now and then, I'll jump in.
