So my friends 600rr hit the crank bearings on #2 and 3. Did not run outa oil it seems. Crank had some strange black burning marks running from the journal in the direction of crank rotation. A older mechanic said its because we run normal multigrade 20W50 oil and not full synthetic. Now the 2 questions are:<br />
<br />
1: Would full synthetic automobile oil work. (From good manufacturer)<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
2: Heard alot of mixed feelings about just changing to full synthetic. Things about oil not mixing and seizing the engine. Others say I must use a flushing agent to first flush the motor. Then others say I will hurt my gearbox and clutch plates with the flush. <br />
<br />
So WHO the F#CK is right? I dont wana seize my crank too! Luckily his crank was just polished and measured up a-okay.He needs new bearings now.<br />
<br />
Any and all advice would be cool!

Hi all been into stunt riding for about a year and love it , squiding it up at my local spots and making progress , but would be good to meet up with other riders in the area from time to time as it gets a bit boring on your own , any other riders out there that dont mind a squid coming down , let us know cheers

Not a stunt vid, but I wanted to share with you guys. This is just vid of the classes that I offer at my gym. I was pretty proud of it and wanted to show it off. Hope you enjoy it.<br />

i just wanted to make everyone aware there is a fuel filter on an f4i. i think some people may be overlooking it. that is all<br />

rode last night... lights turn on at 8:10 in warwick. ready to ride with some new ppl, but figuring ill be doin this shit by myself for a while. or as long as i live in this small ASS state <img src="images/legacy/smilies/rockwoot.gif" border="0" alt="" title="YEAH" class="inlineimg" />

has anyone ever used this before or is this just a piece of junk. wanna convert over to all digital.

Got a little bored this weekend and wanted to document some work so heres a guide on how to do the 2nd idle mod on an 01 F4i. It will give you a smoother idle and much quicker and easier to adjust. Half a turn on this new idle will bump the rpms up much quicker then the stock. The new idle cracks the throttle plates open as opposed to the stock idle which just makes the bike richer or leaner.<br />
<br />
Step 1: Remove 2 hex/allen screws from left and right side of driver seat.<br />

<br />
Step 2(not pictured): Remove 2 allen screws from the bottom of the tank under the driver seat.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Remove 2 allen screws from front of tank<br />

<br />
Step 4: Prop tank up being careful not to pinch any hoses. Run a bungee from top of tank to back of the bike to keep the tank up from falling<br />

<br />
Step 5: Remove airbox cover(not pictured). The 10 screws from the airbox are circled in green.<br />

<br />
Step 6: Remove airbox by unscrewing 6 phillips head screws.<br />

<br />
Step 7: Look between throttle bodies 2 and 3 for a small stopper screw<br />

<br />
Step 8: Remove said stopper screw<br />

<br />
Step 9: Replace stopper screw with new idle cable. I used a 98 900rr idle cable or screw set which was just barely long enough to feed through to the left side of the frame. Make sure you put on the washer and spring or else it might vibrate loose(I went back and did this later)<br />
<img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c259/Adroit707/Motorcycles/2nd%20Idle%20Mod%20and%20Clean%20Air%20Mod/8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Step 10: Feed new idle cable somewhere convenient. Ive found top left side to be easiest place. In the back is the stock idle/wax unit cable.<br />
<img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c259/Adroit707/Motorcycles/2nd%20Idle%20Mod%20and%20Clean%20Air%20Mod/9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Step 11: Put your airbox/tank/seat back on in reverse order. Turn your bike on and let it run for 10 min. Once the bike is warm, set the stock idle to 1300-1400rpms then never touch it again. Adjust the idle from the new idle cable. You will have a better running idle and wont have to turn it forever to turn the idle up. Half a turn will bump it up alot.<br />
<br />
Step 12: Hit the lots and get out there and practice.<br />
<br />
Optional but recommended.<br />
While your at it might as well clean/change your air filter.<br />
<br />
Also might as well do the clean air mod. Its pretty quick and easy and will prevent your bike from locking. <br />
<br />
Here is how you do it:<br />

I never blocked off the airbox holes. I havnt noticed any differences with it blocked or open so its not a big issue. I believe the T is a 3/8inch or 1/2inch but dont quote me on that.<br />
And here is what the finished product looks like:<br />

<br />
Last note: Be careful not to drop any of your screws. I dropped one and it happened to get stuck where the stock idle adjuster was and I was unable to turn the stock idle adjuster<img src="images/legacy/smilies/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Banghead" class="inlineimg" />. I had to take the throttle bodies off to get it loose so the stock idle would turn. Huge pain in the ass but I learned a bit more about my bike.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps some of the new squids like me.<img src="images/legacy/smilies/LolLolLolLol.gif" border="0" alt="" title="LOL" class="inlineimg" />

F4i- I just ordeded the FI risers and pro taper 1 1/8&quot; contour atv lows, I need brake, clutch lever,idk what to do with the throttle and i need grips and idk what else to make it work, Ive read i can keep the stock throttle cable and clutch cable but idk if it will work on my bike. <br />
Wanna get the rest ordered asap its gonna be nice outside soon, be gentle on the newb<br />
<br />
well im really not sure how the throttle will work since tstock throttle will slide over 1 1/8 bars? do u need a special clutch lever to fit the cable?<br />
<br />
the new bars are bigger then stock clip ons, itd be sweet if i could rock a thumb throttle cause thats what im used to, bet nobody on here has thumb throttle though.......

does anyone know where i can get an adjuster for my cam chain??? its for my 03/04 636..... the local shop priced me at 80 bucks but i heard i can find them cheaper, i just dont know where to find them. anu help would be great! <img src="images/legacy/smilies/cheers.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Cheers" class="inlineimg" />
