Hiya champ, just tried watching your helmet cam vid, the one with the new can, and thought I'd better give a heads up to other iPad users that the link to photobucket or the vid format (not sure which) doesn't support safari and comes up with a pop up saying as much. Thing is when you click the ok button it just pops right back up and gives you no time to close down the tab. Have to do a total shut down to fix it. On a bonus I did get to hear the bike and it sounded mint, just couldn't see half of it because of the damn pop up blocking the screen.

 

Give this link a try...

Its to a Youtube vid of the same bike on a different day.

 

That work,
Is your speedo MPH or KMPH?

 

MPH... But it is off by quite a bit. I had a big sprocket on the back throwing it way off but I brought it back down to stock gearing.

 

Wow, the roads look really good up there to be honest. I didn't think they would because of the freezing/thawing...


Hey man - How do you like that F4i M/C with the 954 calipers? Are they the same bore/stroke? You ever thought about getting a 954 one?

 

To be honest, the brakes work super well on it. I love the way the bik rides with this setup.

But yeah the highways are taken care of, but not the side roads and the rest of the city roads. Potholes and cracks and ruts.

 

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.

 

New chain, and the front/rear sprocket kit showed up. Been waiting on the rivet tool, but it never came, so I found someone in the local club who let me borrow theirs. Should be done tomorrow, as well as front/rear brake pad change if they arrive in the mail.





Did a little (very rough) sketch of what I would LIKE to do with the exhaust, to bring it up more along the tail. M4 makes a high rise mid pipe that would work I believe.



Also got a steal of a deal on a new Scorpion helmet to replace my old one.




Going to tear into it again to do the CCT, since I need to get back to the throttle cable to adjust it again.

And arriving soon in the mail should be a box full of goodies thanks to a fellow member of CBRF. To include a set of blue shorty levers, some frame sliders, and black rear pegs and heel guards. I plan to take all the silver on the bike (except the forks) and paint it black.

 

So wait, what are you going to do with your Delkevic?

 

I would like to keep the Delkevic, just switch to the mid pipe of an M4 setup. There is an F4i up here with that setup (not Delkevic but same concept) and he loves it.
