I put a 2015 Tab on mine today after transferring the title to me! Next thing is gonna be to locate front fairing w/ headlight asy.

 

New chain and sprockets. Stretched the last chain to 22k. Just clocked 44k on the bike. I have a set of Michelin Pilot Road 2's on and have 16k on them with some life left...surprised.

 

Had to tear into it yesterday. While riding after work, hit a rut in the cross road and lost all throttle response. Pulled off and could not figure out what happened. When I would shut off my bike and get off it, I had full throttle engagement. Sprung back and had no problems. Get back on the bike, and turn the bars straight, and lost everything. I could ride off and then boom, lost all throttle response again.

Finally realized what had happened. Deep inside the bike by the throttle bodies is a bracket that holds the throttle cable casing. It had come loose and when the bars were turned to the left, it was pinched and gave me all control. But turn the bars and it got loose and had no tension.



Also found out it was red in its past life... Hmmmm



Theres the culprit.



But it gave me a good chance to clean everything up and check the plugs and all the wires and such.



Rode it today and it was gorgeous out. Picked up a new blue/black Scorpion Evo helmet to match and also a new magnetic tank bag. Never did have enough room to carry stuff sometimes in the trunk so this is nice to toss in a drink or extra little stuff to carry.



Non Slip, Scratch Resistant backing with super strong magnets. Takes both hands to pull this thing off.



But small enough to not get in the way of riding comfortably.

 

Had some dumb retarded distracted lady from work, back up full speed into my bike and knocked it down.

-headlight is scratched
-fender is scratched
-fairing is scratched
-tank is chipped
-cowl by passenger seat is scratched
-muffler is dented and scratched
-frame has a small scratch right beneath tank
-the aftermarket brake peg/pedal is scratched (previous owner said they were $600, not sure how true that is but still damaged)
- bar end is chewed up/scratched

After ALL this, the dumbass said she didn't see the bike there and did not notice hitting it. I've got security video showing the hit and run.

UGH!!!!!!!!

 

I put a R6 throttle tube on mine a while ago and fixed the fairing, it felt amazing and much quicker out of corner

could do with some more free time to ride properly

 

Did the can over the reservoir mod with my buddy. Nos on mine, redbull on his. Also got a new TwoBros slip on, I love it, much deeper than the yoshi on my old F4.

 

Took the final plunge and removed the decals from the l/r fairings!

 

And den...

 

Busy week for me and the bike.

Covered up a portion of the tank decals.



White reflective tape covered with translucent yellow tape. Had some trouble with bubbles. Materials are cheap so, I'll try again if I can get them out.



A while ago, I added some LEDs so I could be seen better at night. I couldn't afford the yellow kit I wanted. I went with some purple LEDs; Walmart specials. So, experimented with the yellow tape and covered over the purple.

Oil and filter change. She just turned 51k. Runs like a champ!
