    Engine noise (ticking)

    Sounds normal to me. Probably just chatter from the cam

    Loss of Power - Sputtering

    You don't need to pull the radiator, but you do need to drop it by removing the one or two bolts that hold it up. To remove the coil packs, disconnect the harness and twist and pull the pack out.

    Possibly dumb question

    Loss of Power - Sputtering

    ok, so check out this video: YAMAHA R6 SPARK PLUG COIL TEST: HOW-TO - YouTube it has how to do it, although this isn't me, this guy must be a gangster... all in all, just look for the "one that is different". For me, most secondary resistance readings were really close, but one was out about...

    odd issue the other day.. please provide thoughts

    My issue came and went too. I'd leave it alone unless it comes back. Maybe something to check on your next spark plug replacement.

    odd issue the other day.. please provide thoughts

    YES!!!!! Same thing happened to me. I burned out a coil pack for one of the spark plugs - see my post for "Loss of Power, sputtering...." You can check them by looking at the primary and secondary resistance of each coil pack with a multi-meter. I can provide additional instruction, but...

    Loss of Power - Sputtering

    Did you test your coil packs? I can give directions if needed. All you need is a multi-meter.

    Loss of Power - Sputtering

    Ok... definitely a bike problem... spent the whole day removing the dang airbox, checking the AIS, and throttle system. Still not sure... banking on the coil pack being bad.

    Loss of Power - Sputtering

    Ok, so the other day when I went to ride to work, I noticed that when I got on the gas a little, the bike bogged way down and started sputtering. When I gave it a little throttle it was fine, but when I gave about 25% or more, it did the same thing. Thought it was just cold, but it did it the...

    What Plugs Do You Use?

    BMW S1000R

    Yes, you read it right, S1000R and not RR. BMW made a streetfighter based on the HP4 motor and on paper looks quite good. I plan on getting one soon. They advertise 160 BHP and from the youtubes, looks accurate. Anyone get anything similar?
