I just ordered a few more goodies for my VTR. Given that my bike now has over 75,000 km, I decided to do a preventive wheel bearing replacement all around. Given that I have to replac ethem anyhow, I will be putting in C3 type (high-speed, looser tolerance), low friction bearings i place of the standard ones. I have also ordered a RC45 throttle tube for quicker action (based on the experience of a few members of the VTR1000.org board).

I will also be gearing it down ever so slightly (from 16/43 to 15/41) and installing my new lightened flywheel. Looking forward to trying all this stuff out.

cheers

Let me know how the throttle tube works out, that would be nice especially for trackdays.
