JayMT07 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 @NRWhiteKnight Lol. That's perfect. I'm 5'7" and have been looking at that screen for a few weeks now. I might have to pull the trigger on one for longer trips. Thanks. Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They supplied the rear grommet to replace the OEM, but none for the front. I called motorsport.com and they told me to return what I have and they are sending me a new set of front lines with the grommets, as they said that'll be the fastest way, without going back to Galfer and having me wait. Maybe I'll end up with another package with no grommets !!! but it's on Galfers part list, so I asked. https://galferusa.com/static/files/downloads/D879OEM Instructions.pdf They arrived today, complete package, grommets included. Time to get busy installing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deserves to be ridden, and with two kids that participate in travel sports, there is just no time right now (nor for the foreseeable future). Plus, the extra cash could help in that aspect as well (checked the price tag on a really good baseball bat recently; yikes! ). Hoping to find someone who appreciates it as much as I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it and I do understand about the baseball bat, I'd bought one a couple years back just for kicks at batting cages but ended up returning it because it hit me, what have I done?!! I then returned it to Dick's and continued using 'their' crappy, rental bats. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMT07 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I put the battery booster from my truck into the storage box in the bike (cables are in my bag that's always with me). Had a rough start the other night. Took three attempts. Everything seems fine now, though. Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free shipping... Ok, windshield savings aside, today's do! Dug out the Morgan Carbtune Pro, checked throttle body sync. All was good, which is very good because I have absolutely no idea how I'd reach the adjuster screw on the right side throttle body. I pulled off the fairings (which turned out to be unnecessary for checking anyways) but even with releasing the tank, I wasn't able to get a straight shot at that with the screwdriver without actually disconnecting the tank... which clearly isn't feasible when the bike is running. All the guides show it done with earlier models, and I suspect things are set up a bit differently here, as moving the tank off to one side somewhat wasn't doing it for me. Fortunately, all was pretty decent, so no adjustment was necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Aaaaand wrapped up the weekend setting up my rear shock preload as I'd never actually done that. Was still at its stock setting of 4, which led to tremendous sag with my 300lb rear on it. Cranked it up to 7, and man, does it ever feel tighter in corners now. Didn't even know anything was wrong as my previous bikes where all 30+ years old - it was already the best suspension on a bike I've owned. Ordered a Black Widow exhaust (230mm, Blue tip, carbon fiber) because sexy and really reasonably priced, too. All in all, a good day for the MT.

Premium Member fzar Posted May 28, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted May 28, 2019 I installed SS brake lines front and rear, I really wished I had the vacuum brake bleeder thing for the front. The difference in braking is very noticeable up front its way better, the rear ,not so much of a difference. I don't know what it was I was expecting from the rear, but I'm okay with it being the way it is as I have a 2015 no ABS FZ and I don't want to be locking up the back wheel with barely a touch. So it's all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I didn’t install it the previous owner did. Also, to contribute to the thread, I installed OES frame sliders today.

Redempire Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 SS brake lines this weekend. I noticed the same thing, front is markedly different, rear not a whole lot of changes. It was time to change the fluid anyway. Rebuilt forks and installed the gold valves. Definately worth the low price point. Front end dive is more controllable and it is still somewhat soft on bumps but tracks better in the turns. Rear is still garbage but for a commuter until the T7 comes out, i'm good with it. Also finished up sliders on front so all the way around now. Picking up a subcage for 100 from a coworker tommorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintersdark Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 What SS brake line package are people using? Is there a decent reasonably priced option? Wut I did today.... Well, I started with this: And ended with this: An observation on the Black Widow install: Holy crap, is it ever a lot lighter than the stock exhaust system. That thing is ridiculously heavy. Sadly, I didn't finish up until 10:30pm, and felt I'd be best off not getting off on the wrong foot with the neighbors just yet, so the test ride and initial startup will have to wait till tomorrow. It was a fun change, and pretty easy too. Beats the hell out of swapping exhaust systems on an inline 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
