Your both wrong!
Sony FD Trinitron KD-36XS955 36" TV
238lb
My 40" weighs in at 300lbs.
Yeah, yeah, "Mines bigger"
Would you believe I made the right choice not to go to Barber, The truck dropped a valve
-
My guess is 170lbs-ish
My 35" Trinitron weighs 165lbs
+1

You get more noise from the wind than the muffler on a long trip. The micron system is actully fairly quiet. Why bother with trying to put the stocker back on?

if you really still want to do it you could cut the socker and fab a mid for it.

Does the finish, in person, look as good as it does in this photo?
Yes it does

Maybe I'm missing something, but what problems do people have with air in the system?
I drain, fill and flush, fill with antifreeze and water. Leaving the cap OFF, the run the motor to make sure the pump circulates the new stuff. Top off as needed. Wipe up any spillage. The system should syphon in any extra fluid it needs from the overflow tank, right?
No problems so far. :icon_think:
If you get a large enough bubble it may drop the level and interfere with the siphon action. I check it over the next day or two to be sure.
Also, don't forget to get the new copper washers for the drain bolts.

It will work. You'll need to make/find your own spacer/mounting hardware. I haven't tried with that particular mount it can be done.
-
What he said. It sounds like something more than slip-ons and jets were done to this bike.
-
What can you expect to gain by changing the time while leaving the rest of the bike stock? If you do gain any power/torque, how much and at what cost in other operating RPM ranges?
A lot of manufacturers retard the ignition timing in lower gears for drivability/emissions purposes. One of cheapest/easiest ways to gain power in a Suzuki is to install a TRE(timing retard eliminator). Same principle here.

You'll get to hear my TBR shotgun soon enough!
I know we played around a little but our two bikes sound different with the different cans? Iwasn't really paying attention.

The shrooms are good for tipovers and you don't have to cut the fairing. They won't help in a crash.
Sliders are designed for a get off but you'll need to cut the fairing to fit them.
-
Check your sprockets for wear too.
-
What he said. But as a general practice you should change the fluid. It's subject to heat and degrades regularly.
On another note, saw your pictures. Nice lookin bike brother. But how did you hook up with such a cute girl? Did you lie to her or somethin?
-
If it's just a heating element it really should not make any difference which way you pass the current through.

And an even better price:

(Thinking about scoring a pair of Powers for the XX and a pair of Roads for the FJR, even though I don't need them right now.)
Same after shipping.

more info and a price

I may have to grab a set at the track this weekend.

Found some info from Monte
Well Gavin...A bit more info (your skill level) would help.
On a 749 I would go with the new Pilot Power 2CT in a 120/70 front and a 180/55 rear or if you are budget minded... regular Pilot Powers in the same size(s)
The 2CT (2 compound technology) has 20% softer (more sticky) compound on te outside 10% of the tire. This offers increased grip on smoother tracks.
This combo will take you up to a mid pack A group pace with no drama, you do not need (nor do we suggest) tha you use warmers, they work very well in damp, wet and dry conditions and they offer excellent "feel".
I will go so far as to say that the the Pilot Power front is the most forgiving and pridictible front tire I have ever used. Period.
When the rears "go-off" they do so slowly.
Added plus... Powers seem nearly immune to heat cycle deterioration.
-
I've run the medium race powers and believe that the new TC's are mediums with power tread pattern. The best place to ask would be over on the Sportbiketracktime forum. Monte(STTGuy) is the US Michelin guy.
If I see him this weekend I'll try and remember to ask.
-
Any where from 4 to 8 days.

Use your toe and just eyeball it.

Joe and Dion are correct aboot the geometry...Passenger riding and
The headshake with luggage is an issue.. I find I can take both hands off the bars as long as I have the throttlemeister on... It is when I hae both hands off and no throttle maintainence...
Hey, aren't you suppose to be studying anatomy?
-
It's because it's the super special 02 version of the bike. They're the fastest thing in the world.
You bringin this bad boy to Towanda?
-
I realize that, Dion, but I've gotten some sleep, and am just waxing poetic today.
:icon_clap:
-
Shit Joe, I said that in one paragraph
-
I think I read where a change in the geometry of the bike- different forks or higher shim on the back- is sometimes problematic, but that's it.
Correct. if you raise the rear and or lower the forks it quickens the handling(decreases stability) also, depending on load and suspension your geometry could change also. I don't have a damper on my BB but have the rear shimed and forks dropped to the point where it is up to the edge of tank slapping wothout actually look over.

Tell me about it. At least I have three months to decide what I wanna do. Just do me a favor and have a blast next month
