someone molested my bike
I bought my VTR from a dealer so they have been working on it. I thought maybe a TPS because between 3 and 4 thousand RPM it was chugging and banging but turns out the baffles in the stock cans were cut out so I now have stock cans on it and it helps but not fixed yet. Now I find out the previous owner drilled some holes in the air box, I can't win. Does anyone think plugging it or replacing will fix. I'm going to tape it up and try it, will keep you posted

Something I should mention is the idle won't stay still, it bounces at least 50 rpm. So lazn you think I should go ahead and get the jet kit installed? I was hoping the dealership would get it running right before I installed the new jets, I feel they are obligated

and a much more productive way 2 search on ebay is: instead of goin 2 ebaymotors.com just go to ebay.com, then click on store, then typed superhawk and search, if lookin for a certain part you can type it in with superhawk, do not be to descriptive, then different stores will pop up, look at one at a time, they have diff options on stores to weed out unwanted items, i found brand new sharkskinz fairing for $140.00, stock fairings for $50, all typed of parts

I once saw an airbox that some genius modified.
The holes were drilled thru the lower half instead of the lid !
I was told it was an attempt to make the engine "breathe" more.
I said yea, more dirt.

You bought a bike that doesn't run right?
For the future; be patient, there's plenty out there that run right.
Then again, I know what it's like to be at the dealership on a sunny day with a pile of money in my pocket.
Best of luck.
