i was curiouse i only have one idle screw on my bike.. it idles up fine it will go up to about 4 grand maybe more but it does get tight after
do i have too add another throttle idle cable to do this air mod or to help the bike in anyway ? thnaks

 

I did the clean air mod. to my 929 yesterday, and rode with it all day... didn't noticed any stronger idle or more torque...

But still nice to know I can't hydrolock my engine

 

good **** did both idle and air box big and felt a big diffrence on my side

 

cool im gonna try this tonite, thanks for the pics guys

 

If you don't leave your stock idle cable in place, your bike can and probably will eventually run like **** at stock idle..

Of course, if your ALWAYS stunting, always at 4k idle (wtf are you doing at 4k idle anyways? lol)
then it might not be a problem..

But if you cruise the streets, and run 1k idle like normal, then it'll idle real rough and shitty..

 

nice, im gonna have to try this!!!!!

good info :YEAH

 

well i just did mine and instead of buying a t-bar(splitter thingy) i just flipped the stock splitter around so hose 4 can connect now i just need to ride but its raining hopefully i did everything right and it works.......

 

when using the stock valve you have to unplug it so it doesn't open and close ...

 

so just gut it out and keep it plugged up and call it a day...........

 

thats what I did

 

that works too

 

Where do you get a t-valve?

 

I did the mod a few weeks ago.. I just got the t-valve at a local hardware store... the hoses are 5/8 of an inch so a 5/8 inch fitting is kinda hard to shove in there so I got a 1/2 inch and a couple hose clamps.. works great!

I also didnt really notice any horse power but just feel better knowing i'm doing what I can to protect my motor! Just my

 

play with your stock idle cable and you can increase the amount of pull at idle...

turn your second cable all the way down so it's not effecting the idle and set the factory one at 1100 rpm then turn your second cable up to where you like your idle for stunting see how it pulls on idle then turn the stock cable up or down a 1/4 turn and see how it effects the pull at idle ...

you may need to go up a little your may need to go down a little all bikes are different but you can dial it in so it will pull better at idle

 

I'm actually just about to do the idle cable mod soon.. I have the cable, but i'm waiting for my '04 1000RR throttle assembly to arrive so I can do it all at once.. once I get it all done.. I'll see how it feels. Thanks for the tip.

 

this might be a newbie question, but is there still a need for an air filter with this modification?

 

Yes you still need an air filter on your bike...

 

lol, alright I thought I still did, Just ordered a new K&N filter and was wondering if I ordered it for no reason,

 

Just got done doing both the air box mod and the idle mod. Bike is running great, had no problems what so ever. Bike was running a little hot... I think it might be because I over filled it with oil, but around 4.3 quarts is fine right?

 

Yes, you ordered it for no reason. Hondas like Honda parts


I dont see overfilling the oil making the bike run hot. Thats still seems like a lot of oil, but not sure. I use 1 gallon in my F4i
