Revving the Engine at Start Up
Revving the Engine at Start Up
A guy I ride with has a CVO SG and every time he starts his bike he does 2 vroom vrooms. I try not to park by him because it's loud and obnoxious and hurts my ears.
Is it bad for the bike? His bike is always in the shop for engine work so I just wonder if he is causing some of the problems.

I'm a woman
I hit the target at the range, pretty good actually
I'm just asking if it's bad for the engine, if you don't know then why bother whining on here?

I think it is a leftover from the days of carbs, at least it is for me. I tend to hit once as it starts and I honestly believe it is left over from my having owned Carbed British cars.

Try different color ear plugs,
a different riding buddy...
as long as you stay passive agresive and complain to us and not him, the situation is not apt to change .
When did all the men become milksops?
And what do you do at the firing range?

I am told the electronic throttle bodies are gear actuated and wear out really fast from this action.

Well, he did spend $42,000 on his CVO. Obviously he wants to be noticed.....
