I would think twice about commuting on a bike here in Houston, especially if you have never ridden before. Enjoy the bike on the weekends.

Intuitive frame sliders.

I lost the battle with a dirt/gravel road today. My frame slider bolt also decided to shear off (<5 mph). Anyways, destroyed the right side and small upper fairings. I am looking for black OEM replacements.

I know this is a bike forum, but I wanted to post this: Looking to get rid of these: $325 shipped (my loss = your gain). You can turn around and sell them if you want...

Hi, I know this is a bike forum but I know others have project cars or may know of others who have project cars. I have (4) BRAND NEW RC Engineering injectors and clips for sale. RC Injectors: Quantity: 4 Status: Brand New Flow Rate: 750 cc/min Resistance: 12.5 Ohms @ 68 degF (saturated...

This one is excellent. I've watched it at least a dozen times over the past couple of weeks!

I put the PDF on Google documents and added the link to my original post. I finally went for a spin the other night without the silencer...incredibly loud! Since the wrap insulates the pipes, there is a good chance it amplifies it as well. I was running on the TBR map, definitely noticed...

Thanks for the heads up, I will check it out. Before I coated my downpipe, I had it header wrapped. It worked fairly well but decided to upgrade to the Jet-Hot Extreme 2500 degF coating (a bit excessive...).

You wrap or coat exhaust components so that they retain the heat. There may be a performance effect and/or you may prevent other components from heat saturation. From the wrap manufacturer I used: "Using motorcycle exhaust wrap maintains more heat in the exhaust system, this makes exhaust...

I put a few mods on over the weekend and wanted to share: TBR Exhaust - black series aluminum canister TBR JB Pro - Map 2 (stock filter, TBR exhaust) PowderKeg Racing Block-off Plates Direct Wire (Escort Radar) The exhaust sounds amazing. It is loud and deep, I have yet to try the silencer...

San Antonio here

section 7-3: item fuel injection says "Check and adjust engine idle speed and synchronization." i agree the average bear can perform the regularly scheduled maintenance, but i feel that having the dealership do the first service is not a bad idea. if there are any issues with the bike...
