Do you want to maintain your bike's good looks and performance? Cleaning your motorcycle on a regular basis will keep it looking sharp (and make you look better too), and it can also help keep your bike running smoothly. The following are recommended steps for cleaning your motorcycle.
Pre-Wash Steps
First, water doesn't mix well with every part of your bike, so make sure that the necessary parts of your bike are protected from water. In order to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe, or pipes, plug the ends. Most dealers or parts stores carry universal exhaust plugs, but if you are without them, you can carefully place a plastic bag around the opening and either tie it in place, or use a strong rubber band.
Also, the air filter will need to be protected. The best way is to simply remove it, or you can use a plastic bag to keep water away.
If you find the engine cases are really greasy, use a small brush, like an old toothbrush, and apply engine degreaser. Steer clear of the chain, sprockets and wheel axels, as the degreaser can potentially cause some nasty problems.
Finally, ensure that the spark plugs, battery caps, gas cap, oil filler cap, and the engine oil lever cap are all secured so no water can get into the engine.
Washing Your Bike
You can rinse off the dirt and the degreaser using a garden hose-be careful that you're not using too much water pressure. You want to use just enough to clear your bike of dirt and degreaser. Using too much pressure could get water into the front forks, or transmission seals. Wheel bearings can be susceptible to water creeping in also.
When most of the gunk is rinsed off, go over your bike with warm water and mild soap. Don't forget that toothbrush, or some other type of small brush for areas that are tough to reach.
After washing the bike, it's not time to take a break yet-you should immediately rinse it off with clean water, and then dry it as best you can. Pay particular attention to the chain-you don't want rust to develop, so make sure it's good and dry, and then lubricate it with chain lube. For your chrome parts, you can make those shine with auto chrome polish.
If you would like to wax the painted and chrome parts of your bike, make sure you use an automotive wax. You don't want to apply wax that contains abrasive material that could scratch or damage parts.
When you are finished, don't forget to remove any plastic bags you used to cover the exhaust pipes or air filter, and start the engine. Let it run for a few minutes to let all the water dry, and to ensure there is no water damage.
Now take that beautiful bike out on the road...

How to Improve Your Motorcycle's Start and Warm Up, Idling and Acceleration
AIR CUT-OFF VALVE
The Air Cut-Off Valve is an extremely important part of the fuel / air intake system that is frequently missed even by competent mechanics, most of whom are not even aware of its existence or how it functions. Over time, air cutoff valves will harden up, perforate and/or disintegrate leaving your motorcycle in a permanently lean, low RPM range (0-2200).
Most early model Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha motorcycles use air cut-off valves. Every Honda CB650, CB750, CB900 and GL1000 has one, located in the air intake tube between the air cleaner box and the manifold. The GL1100 has four, located in the top air intake passage of each carburetor, and every GL1200 has one located in the plenum box below the air cleaner box similar to the GL1000.
These valves are "air blockers", along with the carburetor o-rings, serving to restrict air flow, increasing the fuel-air mixture ratio when the carb slides are in the lower RPM range, up to closed so that the machine will start and idle smoothly with virtually no choking and accelerate rapidly, with no stumble or hesitation.
When typical starting requires heavy and prolonged choking to keep the bike running, when stalling and hesitation occurs even while "warmed up" and when backfiring pops while the throttle is shut off while cruising, most people will start fooling with the air screws to try to overcome the problem, only making it worse along with reducing their gas mileage.
Running with dysfunctional air cut-off valves can cause severe engine damage or failure. When the valves are dysfunctional, the engine pulls nearly total air into the low RPM range through the carbs and on to the combustion chamber. The fuel-air ratio is extremely poor with pre-ignition long before the normal 38 to 40 degree firing point, generating an enormous amount of heat, with no power, which is trapped a longer period of time in the cylinder before the exhaust valve opens.
This heat goes mostly up through the cylinder head, gradually incinerating the head gaskets and allowing engine coolant (antifreeze) to seep into the engine. You can easily spot when you are in trouble by a puff of bluish-white or white smoke on first starting the engine. Don't leave it alone. Change the head gaskets immediately or you could take out your bottom end bearings, ruining the engine.
For those of you installing new exhaust systems, you will discolor your head pipes, either blue (lean state) or gold (rich state) if the signs are ignored. You an destain your pipes using Blueway or Blue-Off but be careful not to rub the chrome, just dab gently. These destaining compounds are usually found at a Harley dealer or Harley-oriented aftermarket shop.
Honda genuine pipes, like many Yamaha pipes, have a double wall for a portion of the head pipe which masks discoloration - but also masks a bad state of tune. Even if your pipes are original and still in good shape, don't think you're safe if your motorcycle has any or all of the dysfunctional air cut-off valve running and performing characteristics.
If your 1975 to 1987 Gold Wing is not getting 50 to 58 miles per gallon (20-23 kilometers per liter), you have one of the most obvious signs of trouble. It is likely your air screws have been backed out to try to overcome the effects of the poor running, stumbling, starting, stalling and quitting.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Refer to your Clymer, Haynes or Honda Workshop manual for location and installation procedures.
Replace your air cut-off valve/s then resynchronize all four carburetors to the #3 carburetor vacuum level using a mercury carb sync tool (carb stick) or vacuum gauge synchronizer tool. The number 3 carb is the constant fixed flow carburetor set at the factory.
DO NOT attempt to set by ear or just by guessing as the results can be anywhere from pathetic to disastrous.
DO NOT deviate from the book settings of your Honda, Clymer or Haynes manual. Wiser people than all of us designed this very effective and efficient intake and carburetion system.
To further insure against any additional vacuum loss, replace your inexpensive carburetor manifold o-rings. Vacuum loss can occur there and mimic the effect of a bad air cut-off valve. Paste a new set in with vaseline and make sure they are sealed with an ether check.

Hey FX35 people!!?
Why are a lot of people using the UTR intake pipe 4 their FX35. Does it really sound that great with the K&N drop in filter. I have a secret Weapon intake pipe with K&N drop in filter but people keep telling me to change to the UTR pipe which will give more power and a louder deeper sound. Is that true.?
and finally would there be a different in performance with the chrome or the flashy carbon one.
Suggestions will be appreciated. Thanx
I have the UTR intake pipes in my 06 G35 coupe and it does sound better than my friends Secret Weapon, but he has it in a 350z, but compare mine to a stock g35 and his to a stock 350, mine improved alot more than his. hardly any difference in performance, but i got the chrome because it better quality than the polished one.
