I dunno why the video is sideways

She's thirsty too, really keeps draining the oil from the sight glass. but, it's not going on the ground, so I'm happy.

 

Wow, the gauges look great and the JISU sounds good. Stoked that you finally get to ride her again man! Congrats!

 

Bike looks and sounds great, man! You've overhauled that bike in a very short amount of time and I hope you get a lot of fun out of your hard work. That bike is a head turner for sure.

 

Thanks guys

I looked at the first post last night and was shocked to remember that it's been two months since I got my flat tire and propped the bike up on the stands o.0

She's still not quite ready to ride. Today I'm going to try to get everything bolted down, and figure out how much I want to toy with the undertail. I want to clean up the wiring in the nose piece and get the mirrors wired up too. I can probably run her long enough to bake on the header paint; it was getting kind of late last night. If I'm really good, I'll throw on the side fairings, take my frame slider measurements, and get those attached too.

Tomorrow, hopefully, I can go for a short ride or two and get used to the new brakes, make sure everything seems steady, and lube the chain back up.

There's a ride to St. George on Sunday morning I'd really like to make. 250mi would be a nice reintroduction to riding.

 

lol was the tip sensor your problem yesterday?

 

I don't think so, Z. The tip sensor never came off the headlights.

Something must just have been partially unplugged. I came home after school, took off the nose fairing, unplugged everything, stared at it for a sec, realized there was really only one way everything could go, and plugged it all back in. I turned the key to check the HIDs, heard the fuel pump prime, and grinned like a fool.

I primed the pump a couple times to get gas in the line, then hit the starter button. It took a couple presses and some revving, but she came to life.

I am getting a lot of exhaust leaking where the muffler connecting pipe meets the headers. Is that a problem? Should I get a gasket or something?

 

The leak won't cause you any problems beyond the chance of sounding horrible. Maybe get a better clamp for the midpipe? What was on there before the JISU?

 

Just the stock exhaust, F3. The clamp from that is too large for the JISU. I may get a different clamp; it's not all that tight at the mounting point, though it's bolted into the passenger rearset so it's not going anywhere.

 

If it isn't causing any strange sounds, I wouldn't bother messin with it. Start her up and play with the throttle through the rev range and listen close to that area.

 

sick setup man. looks like its time for a new siggy.

hope you get everything finished and running tomorrow
