Hey Scott, you've got it taped now, eh !
+1 Tallenuf - files need to be resized to about 1150 x 800 Mpixels to insert them, and keep them below the 500Kb limit (that's for all of what you want to insert, whether you do one or more, total <500Kb)1150x800 is single insert.
There are plenty of programs that will allow you to do this - Google the web for free programs.
if you need more assistance, PM me.

We all learn from each other here - it's pretty special:
Idodirt taught me to use my own camera from 10000K's away in Florida.
Abacus sent me a complete set of clocks, no charge.
Kaska has a new stator cover - no charge
Ara has free engine parts up for grabs.
Many others do it all the time, here. No fuss.
There was a guy a while ago who was going to lose his bike (600 section) to the repo man - he wrote in to say goodbye and someone said "how much d'you owe?" Long story short, within 12 hours he had more than the $1700 needed, from people he had never seen, and would never see, to keep his bike, from all over the world.
Just a great bunch of guys.

Thank you guys!! I really am in love with my Hurricane. My drive to work is only 15 miles and its just not long enough!

Im just really scared that i will start having problems with it being it has 42k miles. All is well right now though.
I do have a question though: The throttle is very very sensitive making it hard to make smooth shifts without lurching due to power. I rode my brothers 02 FZ 1 which has about the same hp and performance stats. I had know problem jumping on it and riding it for the first time.But it took me 1 week to learn how to ride the hurricane well with smooth shifts and stops. Looking back on it, the throttle sensitivity seems to be the biggest reason why. Is this common with all hurricanes?

Maybe your idle's a bit low - try it at 1200 RPM - it'll be less "jerky" than at lower revs.
Remember also - these bikes were amongst the top two or three in the world when produced, and can still hold their own against some good opposition - I have a GPZ900R which can't touch the Hurricane, and a bike in good tune will outrun a FJR1300, a 916 Ducati, and all the other so-called "hypersports" tourers, exceptions being the Blackbird and the Hyabusa - which have around 30 extra horses......so don't sell them short..........
Oh and these bikes have often run over 120 000 MILES without problems. Mine's done 42000 miles now, too, so the mileage isn't an issue if she's been well maintained.

Ronnie, in addition to Shadow's advice, if I were you I would check the throttle cable adjustment (two cables) and make sure you have the correct amount of free play. If the cables are too tight the throttle will be extremely twitchy. Also, make sure your drive chain is properly adjusted and you may also want to take a look at the cush drive in the rear wheel hub. A loose/stretched chain and/or worn out cush drive rubbers can make the drive line harsh when transitioning between throttle on and off.

Glad to hear you're really diggin' the bike![sm=icon_rock.gif]
