How did you suck all the oil out of the filter? Cause if there was only .25 of a quart short on your change.... Your not burning oil. In fact if your not having to add oil your fine.

Please don't rush out on a whime to sell this bike for pennys on the dollar just to "get rid" of it. I believe your going to be ok... Even if in the far away chance you do need some head work WHICH I DONT THINK YOU WILL.

Map it or just ride it please... I beg of you.

thats not why i think it... it was coming to the time to do an oil change and i was checking the fluids like i always do and the levels were in between low and full which is close to a .25 quart. I have my eye on the oil on this bike every time its not running now.

Gunther, we are going to have to just let it go. You arent seeing what I am saying and only taking from it what you want to pick at apparently because you are bored and like to argue. Do your thing. Like I said, I dont care what you do nor did i call you "that stunter guy" or whatnot, you name and classify yourself all on your own.

NtS, love the pegasus picture, very cute, altho your use of bunnies frightens me...

I gotta agree with "stunter man" on this one. He's right. I checked with my buddy, The Stig, a sometimes poster here and my bike idol/guru person:

Black tip and a bit of smoke = likely running too rich, worst case scenario the valve guides may be worn causing the problems you are having. Fill your oil up, keep an eye on it and determine if you are actually going thru it and having to refill. As long as you arent having actual mechanical or electrical issues, you should be able to take care of this with a minimum of effort and cost.

Now, if ya wanna sell, lemme know, I need a track bike... J/k

wow, just wow....

I haven't really heard of stand up issues from the I4s as far as wheeling them til they pop. The twins especially SV is very prone to that and a member of this forum has done it. If I remember correct R1upon1 wheelied his SV to death. Those motors are bulletproof otherwise.

750's are supposed to have the valves checked/adjusted at 15k-nothin to do with your oil really, just a heads up.

your bike sounds rich-although with a k&n filter and a slip on, seems it should have gotten leaner, not richer. did u check the plugs? you say u dont have a pc, how bout u tune it with the plugs, old skool. mite wana try a hotter or colder plug, more or less gap. cant really tell ya without seeing the ones u got in there. hell, u mite just need new plugs, when the last time u changed em?

why is bouncin a street bike off the rev limiter bad? the whole point of a rev limiter is to prevent the engine from revving hi enough to cause the valves to float and possibly slap the pistons.


assuming u bought a kit, why in the fuck did it take 30-40 full pulls on a dyno to tune your turbo? were u constantly changing shit, searching for more power?

when it comes to the engine-abuse, ridin it to its limit=same thing. whether you're flying down the front straight shiftin at redline, or redlinin it thru the gears doin a wheelie, the engine only knows its at 14k, or whatever your redline is.

i4 engines sound nasty when they are oil starved. they scream. literally. its not a unnoticed sound.


that being said, the front end on the new rr's=ugly. ugly in pics, ugly in person, ugly at the track(u dont notice it cuz its got no lights in track gear, so it only tolerable) and ugly on the street. the rest of it looks sweet tho. short tail makes it looked stretched. i love that about it.

cant beat the r1 nose in looks dept, but 848/1098, and daytona 675 come damn close.

go demo one-U like it, U buy it. who gives a fuck what we think anyway lol


if u really are burning oil, it could easily be from starting it up cold and riding off cold everyday. 11k miles of doin that mite cause u to burn alil oil eventually.
