Mike, just get someone to push you around for awhile on the bike!

and really a 'teat' ride sounds pretty fun regardless of the size of your sprockets

 

Forget the bike

Never miss the opportunity for a teat ride!!!

Looks like my track days are going to be rained out next weekend. If not, I'm hoping I can get home in time to load up and get there.

 

Damn the spelling cops are tough here...... hell at least I was close and it wasn't written in Marine.... you know grunts and dirty looks.....

 

You sure about that?

 

I dunno Mike but Drew was kind enough to resend my exhaust after I had the wrong address on my paypal account! They'll be here Tuesday, let me know what's up with your schedule/transpo situation. Good Luck!

 

Well the parts showed up today and it's all together....... and of course is started to rain this morning........

Did manage a quick run down the block and the bike feels good, a bit different but that is to be expected........

I won't talk about the last week of sunny days..... maybe Thurs will be clear....

 

Glad to see it all came together for you (except the weather that is). Looking forward to reading about your riding impressions

 

Just remember it might not be dialed in right yet.. I actually took mine to a suspension clinic post swap to get everything just right.

 

Good point but I do have things pretty close. The sag is set and the rebound and compression setting are as close as I can get them with everything cold.

Just need to put some miles on it and a little tweaking and things should be fine.

 

I tell you what, I'm starting to understand how much mine needs as far as suspension. I haven't had to many problems in the twisties but on the freeway :< o
I gassed it to pass a few people the other day and with an up n down kinda undulating freeway, it got downright scary at about 115 mph. Kinda like a bucking bronco! say I haven't had any problems in the twisties YET... I bet if it were set up for me I'd notice a HUGE difference. I need suspension help!
Great to hear you got it together Mike, Plenty of sun coming brother!

 

you need to add a some rebound damping to the front and possibly the rear too. Lightly engaging the front and rear brakes while still on the thottle will help settle the wallowing if necessary.
