how difficult was the cluster swap? could be a cheaper alternative to a koso

 

Basically just subscribing but let`s just say it involved the right side rear turning indicator and my left knee. The knee won...

 

Mattson, are playing UFC Fight Night with your bike again?!?
Be nice to your bike... knee a person!

 

The cluster swap wasnt that much difficult.. i used the guide from this forum and it helped alot, but i did have to pull up the f4i cluster pin out and f2 wiring to connect wires that either weren't mentioned in the guide or the colors didn't match when it came to actually splicing the wires. I took my first wack at wiring in the speedo healer but the healer wont power on so now its back to trouble shooting

 

The Garage`s a wee bit messy and crowded ATM as I`m trying to decide what is important enough to keep and what to chuck and the cbr`s standing at the side of the corridor... But not to worry, have already some new ones coming from eBay and now I know where to put them

 

getting a list of things to do over the winter...

 

Went to the station with a can to get 10l of fresh fuel, added 30ml of PRO Honda Fuel Stabil in it, gave it a good shake, poured it into the almost-empty tank of the bike, rolled it out of the garage, ran it until the carbs were dry, turned the petcock on, ran it some more and pushed it back in, gonna wipe the dust off, put the battery on a trickle charger and cover it when I get the Triumph out to my own garage (Honda`s gonna hibernate at my mom`s garage at a stable +10c)

 

gave it the once over pre ride check.. im going to try and get out for a ride...getting cold over here so it may be the last for the year

 

Bought a H4 HID kit for my F2, some decals, 2 new tires....
And made a modificationlist for the winter

 

I installed a new DID Gold chain and new sprockets, went up to 45 teeth on the rear. I had been considering replacing the chain but wasn't positive until I mounted my GoPro on the swingarm, just to try out a new angle, and saw the chain bouncing and shaking like CRAZY. And it was so freaking noisy.

After installing the new chain...the bike drives like a freaking dream. This solved almost all the issues I was having with the bike. It is no longer jerky and all around unpleasent. I still have a problem with the bike going into neutral instead of 2nd gear...but were gonna figure that out this weekend.
