S.Ga.Rider · 05-17-2009, 06:05 PM

I installed a fe and new led turn signals yesterday.

daddyg · 05-17-2009, 07:03 PM

I told it good morining as I drove the atv out and good night as I put the atv up.

FZOMB1 · 05-17-2009, 07:09 PM

Today, I went for a ride in the country and then after dinner filled the handlebar real tight with BB's then plugged up both ends good with a couple pair of squishy ear plugs.

CrazyBiker · 05-19-2009, 09:48 AM

That powerbar is amazing. How much?

CrazyBiker · 05-19-2009, 09:48 AM

Ohh and I put Traxxion Dynamics Gold Preload adjusters. If anyone interested I have black ones for sale $35 shipped.

Painted the airbox covers...and installed the chin cowl. Looks f'ing badass.

Damien4949 · 05-19-2009, 04:09 PM

Painted the airbox covers, and installed the chin cowl. Totally changes the looks of the bike, and not sure if I like it or not LOL http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/s...9/100_0375.jpg

Yes, you do

There, made your mind up for you.

Slept in 'til after 10am (bad cough, didn't actually sleep at all).

Found that my new Red Chrome rim stripes had arrived already (only 2 days).

Went to dealer to pick up my 16t sprocket.

Rode around town for next 2 1/2 hours, went to 8 different auto parts / tool suppliers, nobody had a 36mm socket in stock! (Well, actually 2 places had the 3/4" drive heavy duty ones, over $30, plus I would need 1/2" drive adapter or buy a 3/4" socket wrench. Not paying out that much for a tool I might never use again...?)

So I booked it in at the Yamaha dealer for them to do it.

I wanted to do it myself, just couldn't get the tool. (I might make a few calls tomorrow to see if I can borrow one.)

I also cleaned & lubed my chain.

Then I cleaned my rims and applied the new Red Chrome rim stripes.

Now back to internet to order speedo-healer.

CrazyBiker · 05-20-2009, 08:38 AM

Tried on the OEM Yamaha saddlebags. Wiped it down. Adjusted throttle slack.

beatupbandit · 05-20-2009, 08:44 AM

Rode Vancouver to Calgary 800 miles (Yesterday)

TOMMOROW
My suspension is arriving, and I'm going to install the Penske shock I got from Traxxion.

THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
I will install 1.0 rate fork springs and Traxxion fork cartridges as well as replace the seals and fork oil.

THE DAY AFTER THAT

Test ride on some of the finest twisties in the World!

You mean you going to hit ACH? I heard they are opening ACH all the way up today

I am going to hit it today

theWolfTamer · 05-22-2009, 05:06 PM

New front tire followed by a short ride.

CrazyBiker · 05-23-2009, 01:45 AM

Finally installed the T-Rex frame sliders. Put trans red colored windscreen bolts, clutch adjuster to match the red lines.

Glory_and_Fame · 05-23-2009, 05:15 AM

Installed 16t front sprocket.

The workshop at work had a 36mm socket they let me borrow, woo hoo!
I'm glad I got to do this myself. (It's quite a big deal for me, being mechanically challenged.)

EDIT: P.S. Also did foot peg washer mod (turned stock washer around).

Now gotta borrow GPS to see how much further the speedo is out, then order the speedo-healer... and FCE, and slip-on, and...

dmnhntr1 · 05-23-2009, 07:09 AM

yesterday I had to put the stock screen back on cuz my dumb ass cracked a chunk off of my ZGDB.
unfortunately a new one is not in the budget

STOCK SUCKS!
