Default Finally...the new toy

So i finally took some pics of my new bike in the daytime. Bought it (05 600rr) 2 weeks ago and still havent put any up so here she is.

It came with a bigger stainless two bros exhaust but i found a cf one on craigslist for cheap so i put that on, i put the cf triple cover on, i have a cf heat shield too that i havent put on yet...

Looks nice man.... Just an observation for ya... Your rebound damping adjusters are set to different settings.. I don't know how far they are off from being close to eachother, but you can find the Service Manual as a sticky or somewhere on the site (just search for it) and set them back to "Factory Setting". Full hard -1 turn or something like that....

I like the bike though!

hmmm yeah good observation. I havent really rode it for more than 2-3 minutes at a time since its not titled or registered yet so i havent paid attention to any of that yet and i honestly probably wouldnt have noticed that either. Ill look into that now though, thanks trey.

asv levers are in the mail and on the way, new grips, solo seat, and some more carbon fiber bits, accessories/covers are gonna be near future purchases as well.

unfortunately i havent really been able to between school, still needing to replace the rear tire that the jerkoff destroyed before he sold it to me, and not having it registered and titled yet since im up at school. So i guess its been more of a headache so far but the time i have spent with her ive made the most of

When I purchased my bike back in the day, the PO weighed about 265 and could easily bench 550. he jacked with the suspension and the preload / compression / rebound both front and rear has been tinkered with. Front and rear compression were WAY OFF to "compensate for my weight" the PO said....

But yeah Nick it is a nice looking bike and enjoy it.

The manual says the "standard position" for them is to have them set at the 4th line from the top of the nut so now i just gotta remember to do that next time.

That's the Preload adjuster... I was talking about the rebound adjuster...
