That is the way i have been riding ever since i threw on the ASV lever and perch. I thought about rigging up the little perch wires but never got around to it.

Re: Honda question

i've got the same problem on my f4i, i jumped the pins at the connector and it still won't start in anything but neutral, i too forgot about it and shut the motor off in a coaster, fun stuff.

Re: Honda question

While we're at it. I have another question

Got the f4i all together and it seems to be running good. However, the temp jumps all over the place.. it'll go from 170 to 179 and back down to 160 all within 2 seconds

Re: Honda question

either you dont have enough water/coolant in it or your sensor is bad... wire the fan switch up and forget it

Re: Honda question

did you check the thermostat though too? could be stuck only allowing partial coolant flow

been there, done that... rtv'd the ***** back together and never had a problem since


I actually didnt crash hard but when I took the stator cover off a chunk off the block came with.. what I did was put rtv on the edge where it cracked, set it in place and let it dry.... then I put jb weld on the outside... I've taken it off since and I've never had a problem

If thats the case wouldnt the bike get really hot though? It seems to be normal other than the gauges jumping all over

That is what i was doing all day yesterday. The whole bike is back together, but i'm nervous to put oil in it.

On top of that, my head started leaking fluid from the left motor mount, and i now have to drain my radiator everytime i wanna take the cage off.
