New-To-Me SH- almost
 

Tomorrow or sunday i pick up a SH- the holidays got in the way-

I sold my 89 hawk gt- and i picked up a 98 superhawk (red) with a bunch of extras and a bunch of stock parts- the bike has 12k on it, I am def excited. I almost considered a VFR (with repsol plastic) - but wasn't a fan of how it looked or how they (the VFR) rode.

The price on the VTR is pretty low- which is great, the condition is stellar- and i know i have to replace the CCT and RR just as a precaution, no?

Pictures will def be posted soon, as well as stuff for sale that i have no interest in- meaning i already plan on putting the stock exhaust back on and selling the carbon fiber cans- I like stock bikes- what can I say.

Now- as for this weather- the bike is going to look great in my garage- sitting there- waiting-

look forward to the SH experience- questions preceded by forum searches to come-

Congrats on the acquasition! The CCT's (depending on who you ask) are a personal choice. If you know nothing about the bike, I'd suggest changing them either way, stock or manual. You may have jetting/carb issues when you put stock cans back on (I'm guessing/not a mechanic), and there is a member seeking carbon cans at this very moment (look, there is a want to buy post). Again, congrats, welcome, post some pics!

acutally- I think the bike was never Re- jetted with the carbon cans- it pops up a storm while decelerating- so- the stock cans could clean that up- same thing happened with my hawk gt- some dude gutted the exhaust- and it sounded embarrassing rolling up to stop signs.

You might be right. Does it ever die at stop signs? Flat spot anywhere in the rpms? Might have slipped cans on and done nothing else, if so, your golden with stockers.

Congrats on the new bike.

Jet a little richer, look for and eliminate air leaks in exhaust joints, or pull in the clutch lever when rolling to a stop to alleviate embarrassment. :D

the popping could be the PAIR system if the PO never removed it.

And enjoy the bike!
