<p>I've got an older carbed bike (CBR900) that takes forever to "warm up" when I want to ride her. Once she gets going, she runs fine.</p> <p>Is there anything that I could adjust, or anything I should check that might help improve this?</p>

<p>Aside from looks or preventing burns, I've heard that heat-taping your exhaust can improve performance by keeping the exhaust gasses hotter through the whole pipe.</p> <p>Has anybody done this and noticed any gains? I'd love to hear about some dyno results, but I'd just love to hear about anybody's "gut feel" who has done this.</p>

<p>I'm asking this question in all seriousness. How do I get the most out of my bike from a standing stop. Body position? Clutch feathering tricks? How do I lay the most power down onto the road, while still keeping control of the bike?</p>

<p>I've seen Dyno Drag operations where they strap two bikes down to rollers on a semi trailer and let them race against each other. I think you get a dyno printout when you're don. I've never done this but it looks like fun. </p> <p>Has anyone done this? What's the secret for posting a good time? Do you just rev it up and pop the clutch? Shift at the tech red line? </p> <p>Black Strat Reno</p>

<p>I took out the oil drain bolt out of the aluminum crankcase and threads came out with it. It now will not tighten back up. There is not room to drill and re-tap without pulling the engine. Does anyone have experience with a self tapping oversized bolt to correct this problem?</p> <p>2006 Stratoliner Pete Reno</p>
