    V9 Roamer idle rev changes

    Afternoon all I've noticed that when I'm stopped in traffic with the engine idling, after a few minutes the revs go up This repeats every time I stop I don't think it's an issue, and guess it's to help with cooling when there's no airflow Can anyone enlighten me as to exactly why it's doing...

    TPS / autolearn reset hot or cold

    I know (and have experience) that a tps/autolearn reset is beneficial to the rideability on the single Throttle Body bikes as recommended by Todd. However, does it make any difference if the engine is hot or cold? I ask because I've come back from a ride and felt that a reset was needed, but...

    Batteries and smart chargers

    Morning all, I had a search but didn't find the answer to my question Does keeping a battery kept on a smart charger while not in use hide a failing battery? i.e. it will start the bike as soon as you disconect it for a ride and then fail when you're out and about I ask as I suspect that the...

    V9 Valve clearances

    My reading says that the valve clearances should be set to 4 thou inlet and 6 thou exhaust. However I see multiple recommendations here that it should be 6 & 8 respectively and I believe that Todd uses this base for his maps I just wondered why the recommendation to move away from the makers...

    MIU G3 TPS reset or not?

    Some time ago I'm sure I read a thread here recommending that the TPS on the MIU G3 should be reset. But after looking can't find it again. However the PDF document, last page, says that shouldn't happen. Does anyone have a comment on the pros and cons?

    Brake Caliper design

    I've just been servicing the front 4 pot caliper on my Roamer I have discovered that there is 1 big piston and 1 small one in each half I assume that is so that each side one edge of the pad is advanced before the other, the small one would move first The question is why would you want to do that

    V7/9 - Changing Brake Pads

    My V9 seems to have a sticky front caliper and I was looking to see if it was common, but didn't find anything specific Anyone have a view? I'm thinking that a good clean and exercise of the pistons might be in order And there is nothing like an 8 year old thread for research purposes :)...

    V9 Roamer Rear Pegs

    I ride my Roamer with just the solo seat so don't see any need for the rear pegs, and I had a look and they seem to be simply bolted on However, when I tried to remove one they were MIGHTY tight so bottled out before I broke something Are they just very tight/Loctited in place and I just need...

    V9 Throttle Tube equivalents

    Morning All I feel like having a play with a throttle tube modification to help address the snatchy on/off I experience from low throttle settings. (YES I know that it could be addressed via a re-map probably, but I fancy a go with a good old mechanical solution first!) Along the lines of G2...

    Breva 1100 Stepper Motor Thread
