Pissed me off!!!

So i finally got my F4I done. Brand new SI cage and subframe cage on it, and a ton of other **** i had to fix. Im all ready to go stunt it for the first time, but its been to snowy and cold. We finally got a nice enough day sunday to go ride, i load up the bike in the truck and head to our spot. Unload it, fire it up, ride about 20 yards and it shuts off. Felt like i hit the kill switch. Wouldnt start again, no crank nothing,acted just like the kill switch was shut off. So with no tolls on us we couldn't fix it and it ruined my day

All i can say is maybe it was a sign that i shouldn't have been riding that day

We went to Havanna and I70. The lot was pretty much dry besides just a little water run off on the edges.

Im thinking kill switch went bad but no clue. Going to remove the tip over sensor just to eliminate it so i know its not the problem.

I'll post this up as it takes me 2 seconds and if it helps you, cheers!!!
Did this last night.....clean air mod and removal of the tip over sensor as I still love that wheelie sensation!!!
The clean air mod will give you better low end for two reasons ... this is why racers love it.....

1- you don't get any of the hot oily air from the crank case in your airbox---Take an automotive spray gun, The air blowing by the small jet pulls paint from the canister and doesn't blow pressure into the can...... Same thing here, the exhaust blows by and pulls the hot air / oil from the crancase with it...
2- by hooking the crankcase vent tube up to the clean air valve it creates a vaccum in the crank case and that is good for a few extra horse power and a couple foot pounds of torque...OMR (aka the man) said..."it makes the bike better all around and alot of people agree ,i have even seen dyno test that show increased torque and horse power"
The stunters love it because it prevents a hydrolock situation from the bike being on its side and oil being dumped into the airbox from the breather tube....it has been argued over and over and proven, this is a great mod with no bad side effects whatsoever....

This is what it looks like stock....the directions are a bit confusing, throw 3 away, and hook 1 2 and 4 to the new t....

The pair valve removed....

1/2" Tee...it was very tight, had to vaseline the hoses to get them on, but better than too loose....

Here is a pic of the t with the hoses.....


How I sealed the airbox off, I have seen many methods, but looking around the garage I realized that some old tire valve cover caps fit perfectly and are hard enough to hold, through them in with a little epoxy and they were solid and fit perfect, looks factory...



Also here is the tipover sensor mod as well.... just cut that damn thing out and never worry about it again....
With windscreen off...

Remove the 2 screws holding the box in and disconnect the box...

Here it is removed and unclipped....

Cut off the connector and make sure there is enough room to reconnect if you want to reinstall in the feature, tie red and green together and cap white off....and clip back in....

Re: Pissed me off!!!

You can also do the air mod by keeping the silver thing there you take it apart and pull the spring and other thing out and elimanate the long hose tape off the air box and your good to go good post though

You lost me bro. But let me try, I keep the silver thing but pull it apart and remove the spring and other thing out, then I elimanate the long hose, tape off the air box and I'm good? I thought I had to take the thing out of the thing and put the dohunky in the whatchamacallit? Maybe I'm wrong
Yeah, I think I got it now
