general tidbits
OK, bike is an 06 1krr with 1,300mi, just bought it a month ago, anyways...broke it in per-manual, follwed the service plan to a tee, and a few observations......the bike is a dog under 3500rpm's, new to liter bikes but it doesn't seem to come alive until 5-6k rpms.....normal?? Also, as of today and out of the blue, dead on at 3K rpm's I hear this clicking.......linda like an old baseball card in the spokes when you were a kid....not loud, but a rythmic steady click click click but at a faster rate of course, kinda like when a leaf gets caught in your fan motor in the car, you know that anoying high-speed click...Seems like the more I ride the more these little vibrations, clicks and noises are comming up, maybe it's getting settled in?? Also, I don't think I've had it above 8k before, I have been getting on it more and more that I am becomming more comfortable on it, I see vids og guys wrapping their bikes out and holding damn 9-10k all the time, is this use or abuse?? Any pointers on this stuff would be appeciated, lots of you guys been at this game allot longer than me. Oh, found a nail dead center in my tread on the rear, no leak, but getting that fixed tomorow at the shop for 50 bucks...seems a little high to me but I guess it mostly for labor in getting the wheel off then linning everything back up.....anyhow...thanks all
