Marbled my 900!

Evil_Clown · 07-19-2008

Took five minutes and a pair of needle nose pliers. My kid gave me the marble (let me choose the color too). Wow what a difference! No more popping and backfiring. Is it my imagination or does it actually run smoother and vibrate less? I know I didn't smell the gass fumes after the run around the neighboorhood.

lucky you on the marbleing and picking the colour lol

but after doing it to mine, still pops cold or hot ... but i'm glad yours worker out ok..

Baitis · 07-19-2008

x2. Seems to be some inconsistency in engines. Glad it works for somebody because mine still popped and stalled until I installed the Fi2000.

Evil_Clown · 07-19-2008

maybe you used the wrong color marble.

Red marbles add way more horsepower then blue ones.

kevcustom · 07-19-2008

lmaooooooooooo

predfan2001 · 07-19-2008

Since black 900s are faster, I'm trying to find a black marble.

Evil_Clown · 07-19-2008

I had to use a green marble because I am in California.

bub20 · 07-19-2008

GnFnRs · 07-19-2008

Shoulda' used a green one.
The blue ones are for RoadStars and the red ones are for the VTX.

The color codes are the same as for powerbands.

GeeMac · 07-20-2008

The red marble may raise your insurance rate due to the power increase.

kevcustom · 07-20-2008

maybe there should be a pole vote on which colour marble people have used and what happens if they have used a multi coloured marble

A total paradox....all on the 900s will be sucked into a matter crushing black hole which will implode and then blip away into nothingness.

Ok....really nothing will happen

Not only a pole but pehaps a multi-million dollor study should be done to see if marbles made in america will effect the performance of metric bikes.

DanKage · 07-20-2008

anyone ???? my bike pops when its cold was told it was because i use premium gas in it but never heard of this marble idea whats it for and where do you put it ????

predfan2001 · 07-20-2008
