Im new to the forums although ive been lurking around reading threads for about a month. I picked up my first bike about a month ago and im in love! I bought a 06 Honda F4i with 3400 miles on it. Ive put almost 600 miles on the bike so far and im loving it although im taking it slow and building up experience. It was bone stock besides a tinted double bubble screen, Two Brothers slip on, and frame sliders. I recently added a 5K HID kit and I cut down the stock rear fender.

I have a couple questions I hope yall can answer.

1. I cut the rear fender flush with hte bottom of the turn signals and used a flexible LED strip hidden under the taillight for a plate light. Itlights up the plate great and is completely hidden unless you lay under the rear end. (I can snap some pictures if anyone is interested.) Anyways, Im looking to upgrade the turn signals and I ran across some from 911Moto that look great.

Im looking at these for the front http://www.911moto.com/store/index.p...d&productId=42
and these for the rear http://www.911moto.com/store/index.p...od&productId=6.
Will both of these just bolt in without any cutting? Will I need a resister/module to control flash rate? Can I wire them as running lights too?

2. The 2 little screws on top of the forks are not adjusted the same. One looks to have a few more turns left in it than the other. I havent touched any suspension settings. Should these be adjusted the same? Any links or advice on how to adjust all of the suspension?

3. I ride mostly back country roads but not too aggressively. Im getting more comfortable with leaning the bike though. As far as I know the Michelins that are on there are stock. What type of pressure should I be running for a decent balance between longevity and grip?

Sorry for writing a novel...

 

1. Those signals should bolt/wire right up without any problems. If you want to slow down the blinking rate you will need to wire in resistors. Most people (including myself) dont run resistors because the faster rate is more noticeable to other drivers. Yes you can wire the signals as running lights. Search it, there is a thread on how to do it.

2. I'm pretty sure my adjusters look like there set up differently but there actually on the same settings. Check out the service manual and it will tell you how to adjust it back to stock settings.

3. Run whatever pressure the tire says. Unless your stunting or racing that will most likely give you the best balance.

Welcome to the forum amigo

 

Thanks for the welcome. I should be on here pretty often cause Im already hooked on riding!

 

no need to buy the service manual, you can download it. search and you shall receive.

 

for question 2, are you looking for the stock setting? if so, turn the screws all the way to the right and go back left 1 3/4 turns till the dots match up.

 

Ill give it a shot. Gotta love the net!

Well I just dont know if they have been messed with or not. Your talking about the small adjustment screw on the top of the forks right? If so ill go back to stock and go from there. Is there any good writeups about adjusting suspension though? Id like to get mine right for my body weight.

 

yeah, the small screws.

 

Cool. Ill go back to stock and make sure they are right. :shake:
