EZ   Andychang Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 04:05 pm:        HYYYYYYYYAH. almost riding season in chicago again. getting the bmw back in the next 2 weekends. getting the fazer back in the next 3 weekends. good to see everyone is still here.   Swampy Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 04:12 pm:        Hey Andy! The birds are singing!   Andychang Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 04:26 pm:        haha - i know the south floridians don't understand, but what a change it's been to go from winter to spring in literally one day. yesterday when i left for work it was in the 30's. when i got out it was in the 60's. today i'm just wearing my spring gortex jacket and it's plenty warm enough.   Milt Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 05:25 pm:        Spring in Chicago: Birds sing, snow melts, salt washes away, and the entire winter's production of dog poo magically appears.   D_mac Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 06:28 pm:        anybody have problems with v&h exhaust? Mine is leaking at the pipe to can connection. I might try to insert the pipe into the can further but i think i might have to remove lower pipe mount to do so. I'm still trying to fine tune my bike and its running pretty good except when I get to almost full throttle, then it starts to miss. ??could that be related to exhaust leak?? Thanks for any input   Swampy Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 08:20 pm:        Hehehe, Beavis, he said poo! My ex and her evil family purposly lost my prized Jack Russell, Buck Russell, in memory of John Candys character Uncle Buck   Swampy Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 08:22 pm:        What happened to the Quick Board?   Ezblast Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 09:31 pm:        fixed - lol   Swampy Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 10:36 pm:        Here is the link to the front page of the Homecoming section on Badweb, there is a link to the Official Homecoming site. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 508903.html?1268333958 OK, so now who is going to Homecoming?   Gearheaderiko Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 02:02 am:        Dmac: If the pipe is leaking at the can then its most likely due to poor installation. It wont cause running problems other than the possibility of backfires through the exhaust. You can try repositioning the clamp a 1/4 turn or more and at a better sealing point. It may leak slightly no matter what you do-but if it doesnt backfire and isnt noisy, then dont worry. As far as the full throttle missing, it occurred to me that you may be hitting the rev limiter. First gear hits redline at 32-35mph, I cant remember what the other gears are other than 4th is at 80mph. Some faulty ignition modules will hit redline early causing a miss too. FWIW: If you're used to multi cylinder bikes the Blast hits redline seemingly early because you're only hearing one exhaust note per revolution, not 2 or 3 or 4 etc.   Milt Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 09:15 am:        I'll be there. First homecoming ever for me.   Evilbetty Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 01:02 pm:        So who else owns a FI 2006 Blast? http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/mcy/1640589375. html   Indybuell Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 01:40 pm:        lol.   D_mac Posted on Friday, March 12, 2010 - 01:51 pm:        Thanks for the response Gearheaderiko. I was beginning to think something like a rev limiter was my problem, but because I never really rode the bike before doing mods I was unsure. I did some repositioning of the exhaust and it helped - very slight leak now. Is there an option to buy a better can that will go on the v&h pipe? (less noise / more performance?) I also just picked up a 46 and a 180 to try-one at a time. Right now it has 48/175.
