Subject: XRV1000; problems with the cold air


Hi to everyone,

yesterday I had my 36.000 km service done. I asked my dealer about a new XRV 
model, and he told me that Honda is still working on it!

It will be equipped with the VTR1000 engine (90 degrees V-twin) and will 
have 1000 cm³.

BUT: it will not replace the XRV750, it is an additional model in Honda's 
product palette.


Furthermore I have the following question:
I have my engine tuned like Raymond and now have the following problems: 
when it is quite cold outside (< 10 degrees), the bike is quite slow when I 
quickly open the gas throttle - this lasts until the bike is warm.

As I think, the problem is the cold air (cold air has more oxygen(?)). So I 
let the exhaust gases check, but they are very good. Anyone ever experienced 
similar problems??? I know, a solution would be to close a part of the air 
intake or to insert larger nozzles...


greetings,

Achim Muehlberger
