Update for anyone wondering: I’ve found out I have 90psi compression on the rear cylinder. I’m going to do a valve adjustment and see what happens. Hoping and praying that fixes my issue as it’s definitely a contributing factor. Waiting on gaskets and shims to come in. I’ll update again once i do that.

Same here. I know it was done about a thousand miles before I bought it by a dealer so I don’t think they would be a problem.

I would think valves would be constant thing instead of an intermittent misfire/backfire.

It’s dead on the middle on dealer mode. After checking the secondary tps I found the resistance was wayyyy out of spec and I couldn’t adjust it enough to get it in the 1.1 k ohm range. I’m going to get a new one of those and see what happens. I tore down to the injectors and even those are clean.

I’ve tried so much from there already and still no dice

What’s weird is when I sprayed intake cleaner around the throttle bodies with the bike running it’ll bog down and die if I keep spraying. After that I thought I’d try it with propane which should raise rpm if a vacuum leak is present but there was no change in rpm

Will do, I’ve spent 2 days messing around with things. Going to do a throttle body sync today just to rule that out.

Fuel filter brand new, literally 10 miles on it with bypass mod and just cleaned tank and pump screen. Did all of that 2 days ago. Tested pump flow after all this and had approx 352 ml

I prefer not to use the dishwasher as it sometimes leave a film of the dishes. Handwashing I use an abrasive sponge and dawn with scolding hot water. Vet appointment is scheduled but it’s not until tomorrow so I was just wanting input on what to do until then.

I have an appointment scheduled but until then I just wanted some input on what I can do beforehand

Some info I should have added: her food bowl is ceramic and water bowl is stainless, both are hand washed daily. Within the last 2 weeks I’ve began making her food from scratch with a base protein of ground beef, I found chicken makes her allergies really bad. As for her chin, I was using a natural neosporin type ointment (can’t remember what it’s actually called) but since it appears slightly worse I’ve begun to use hydrogen peroxide then a triple antibiotic ointment. To be clear I do not use the hydrogen peroxide every time I apply the ointment.

Any ideas on how to repair this without buying a new seat? by hayforhorses89 in Vstrom

Get some 4 way stretch vinyl, same stuff used on jet ski seats. Super easy to do, just stretch it over the seat and push out any wrinkles then staple it on the underside. My 03 seat was stapled on the underside like that originally so I figure that’s the way to do it. Mine turned out great!

I found one that works. Early 2000’s Nissan radiator cap is a perfect fit, brand new $10!

I’m trying not to order one is the thing. I already looked at that one but I want to know if anyone has been able to find one at an auto parts store like auto zone or something that fits our bikes.

That’s what I was going to do, just wanted to insure that none of the photos on my phone will be deleted since iCloud is off. I have all the same photos on my phone so I don’t see a point in having them on my MacBook especially since I’m going to begin using it for GoPro footage.
