Ok i have some stupid questions to ask about general stuff on the bike as i dont have a manual.

1. How do i set the clock?

2. Does anyone know the cross reference for a Mobil 1 Oil Filter?

3. What kind of oil does the bike take? 10w40? And how much? I will be using Amsoil for sure.

4. Does anyone have a dyno proven setup for what makes the most power?

5. Is it normal for the bike to have a little roughness to the take off. Like the acceleration is a lil bit jumpy from idle to about 2500-3000. I thought i heard somewhere that a Power Commander could fix this??

6. Im in West Palm Beach, FL and would like to see if there is a dyno place that can tune the bike if anyone knows of one?

7. Has anyone upgrade the rear tire size at all without any issue? What size?

8. Where can i get a rear seat cowl?

Thanks in advance!

As for the throttle response issue -

Yes. Mine was jumpy as hell especially from a dead stop - just touching the gas made the bike jump. I added a PCIII usb, and used the map for my pipe and it's super smooth now.

If you decide to get a PC let me know. I'll make you a deal.

The seat cowl is an easy one. You can order a Honda cowl from any dealership...it was around $150 or so.....as I remember. To set the clock, you have to press both small buttons at the same time. The hours will blink, then the minutes. Its a pain in the ass, but it will work after a few seconds.

Ok i have some stupid questions to ask about general stuff on the bike as i dont have a manual.

1. How do i set the clock?
Yes, you need to push both buttons at the same time with the ignition on
2. Does anyone know the cross reference for a Mobil 1 Oil Filter?
NO
3. What kind of oil does the bike take? 10w40? And how much? I will be using Amsoil for sure.
Being in Florida I think it would be safe to say 10w40 or 10w30, I run 10w30
4. Does anyone have a dyno proven setup for what makes the most power?
Exhaust (full or 1/2), PCIII, Ingnition advancer, 520 conversion, Matched injectors from Factory Pro. There is really no ONE mod but the total of them
5. Is it normal for the bike to have a little roughness to the take off. Like the acceleration is a lil bit jumpy from idle to about 2500-3000. I thought i heard somewhere that a Power Commander could fix this??
PCIII
6. Im in West Palm Beach, FL and would like to see if there is a dyno place that can tune the bike if anyone knows of one?
Can't help you there
7. Has anyone upgrade the rear tire size at all without any issue? What size?
Don't worry about this keep the 190.
8. Where can i get a rear seat cowl?
Targa has a nice one
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the tips guys. Picked up a honda filter and scoping out some exhaust right now. As well as the normal tune up parts.

Go Micron on the pipe...they sound awesome. I have had a helluva lot of compliments on mine. K&N filter as well.....its an easy upgrade and well worth the price!!

Where at in West Palm Beach? Have you gone to the cycle place on Military Trail just North of Okeechobee Blvd, across from Gator guns? They sell most makes there. They might have a dyno or know where one is.

Yeah that place is called CycleToyz i think. I stopped in there the other day. I basically bought the bike out just b4 him b/c he was already buying a busa from the same buy. Seemed like decent people. Im sure they will know though. They had a lot of performance stuff there from the looks of it.

Hey 03954guy I just saw this...

My already discounted price on the carbon slip on is $519.99 plus shipping. If you want one I'll order it for you and do it at $500 even shipped.

Thanks,
J.T.
