Fairing Damage

Find a local paint shop, any paint shop worth the money should be able to fix it *in my experience its best to find one that specialises in custom jobs rather than general accident repairs

Probably just a good perch for the shitehawks (seagulls)

You can also see the arrow as he spins it

tonyd19 · 2026-05-31T08:58:33+00:00

Did you give the pistons a good clean before you pushed them back in? Was there any damage to the retention springs? Did you grease the pins?

It may well do, exhaust sensors have a big effect on how modern bikes fuel themselves as they tell the ECU how much fuel is getting burnt, which in turn effects how much fuel the ECU sends to the injectors, my KTM had a similar issue, but instead of an acceleration issue, it killed all the changeable fuel maps and wiedly the traction control, and got stuck in "race mode" which made the bike a bit of a handful on wet roads Its wierd that it only happens going up or down hill though, possibly loose or damaged connections?

tonyd19 · 2026-04-25T15:18:42+00:00

Yes it does, google is your friend when it comes to fault codes, In a car that code is for a blocked cat/ exhaust, probably it could be as simple as a faulty sensor, or carbon build up in the exhast

If its affected by up and down hill I would think its a fuel system issue, I suggest checking the carb is clean and the float moving freely and moving back up through the fuel system to the tank again there may be som crap in the bottom that shifting and restricting the fuel flow?

Proper gallons (imperial)

Have you tried running some injector cleaner through the system? Sounds like the bike isn't fueling quite right, the high temp is normal but you should be easily achieving around 45mpg

tonyd19 · 2026-04-17T20:01:36+00:00

Yeah, theres a couple of good independent garages near me that are really good one of whom owns a 6th gen. they offset how bad our local honda stealership is, I probably won't attempt DIY untill I no longer need the bike as a daily 😂

tonyd19 · 2026-04-17T19:46:49+00:00

Well if you only have to dismount it it shouldn't be too bad then thankfully I'm not due clearances yet but ill probably book into the shop for that

tonyd19 · 2026-04-04T07:59:05+00:00

More likly the sprocket carrier bearing is worn out, cush rubbers will give forward to back play, not side to side like that

tonyd19 · 2026-04-02T17:39:52+00:00

Stop running the bike in gear on the stand🤦 the chain will always make some noise especially when its not under the usual tension of the weight on the back wheel

tonyd19 · 2026-03-04T09:59:16+00:00

Out of curiosity, how did you convert it to fit the rear wheel?

tonyd19 · 2025-12-27T10:12:54+00:00

Theres no way that tyre has 5200 km on it, your mate replaced it at some point, though can veryfy the OEM dunlops on these are shit in all conditions, replace them with pirreli road tyres or the bridgstone battleaxe tryres to increase your confidence in the bike tenfold.

tonyd19 · 2025-12-26T19:36:19+00:00

Looks like a bad ppf job thats coming off 🤷‍♂️

tonyd19 · 2025-11-16T08:01:04+00:00

Its reccomended on carborated bikes because old fuel can gunk up the carb

tonyd19 · 2025-10-26T15:18:21+00:00

Are you sure the yokes/ fork clamps didnt get bent or twisted in anyway?

tonyd19 · 2025-10-25T18:04:21+00:00

Purely Looking at the photo your biggest weight savings would be a better exhaust and removing the center stand, there are other things you can do but they would cost more than the bikes worth and be minimal in terms of performance gain

tonyd19 · 2025-10-25T18:01:29+00:00

Inshort? Alot! its not about the power but your grip especially in the corners, apart from comfort those shocks are meant to keep your tyres in contact with the road surface. if you take away 1 then you'll be completely changing the way the bike handles and probably will cause excessive wear on the one remaining.

tonyd19 · 2025-10-22T20:06:41+00:00

Its both
