Got the new bike today, and that suit from Black Squirrel (you are the man bro, thanks again!). Hell yeah! I'm beyond stoked. The bike is bad-ass. Excellent condition, clean enough to eat off off, etc. Runs great, shifts smooth as butter, feels real tight, all bearings are good... no complaints at all. Going to need a stand like the one it was on that holds it by the swingarm, or will need to throw spools on there. Aside from that, need to remove all stickers, paint it, tighten up the throttle assembly (screw is tight, gonna need to put some tape under it or something) and I'm good to go. Absolutely stoked. Really only a back protector and some boots away from being track ready at this point
It doesn't get great traction all that well on cold, shitty parking lots, but that's not really a surprise

BTW, couple quick questions re: tech.
1) Is that broken windscreen going to be an issue getting through tech?
2) The throttle returns fine, but doesn't do it with a really fast and solid "snap" like my dirt bike or R6 did, it's more like my 87ZX750. Will that be an issue at tech? Of course, it could just be because it's below freezing, might return faster/harder when it's above freezing.
i just ducttaped my windscreen

Thanks on the windscreen tips. Cut it with a dremel?
Also I had a chance to try on the suit, it fits awesome! Thanks Black Squirrel! I'm not sure if I'll be able to fit a back/chest protector under it, need to find them locally to try on. If not I'll have to get an insert that goes into the suit, or at least a back only protector. Gotta find a place to try on chest/back combos under the suit first.
I would repair the scrapes on the left side of the bike first, they look like shit...... how did you do that so quick? You must suck.

So i can cut down the broken windscreen, bike otherwise seems really well sorted. Anything else I should do, or is it just time to get to the track and see what it tells me?
congrats dan - now i just need to close on this new place i found...and buy my track bike.

Cool. It'll def. get a good going over as i look at it and wait for summer. seller had a haynes manual he wouldn't throw in. I assume since it's an EX it calls for 87 octane and whatever oil comes out of my truck after an oil change on that?Seller also said the oil, filter, etc. are all new and he checked the valves last year, but who knows. he had 4 other really nice bikes and a dozen or two racing trophies, so he seemed to know his shit.
Also, I need to decide if I am going to add spools for a stand or just get one that holds the swingarm like the one he had it on when I saw it.
A copy of that manual would be awesome if you wouldn't mind... I'll PM you my email. As for gas I'll stick with 93, may as well get it running as well as I can on the same gas all the time. The previous owner said he ran some special expensive oil, but i dont know that there's a point in these things from what I hear about them.
Just don't run oil with friction modifiers, aka any of the ones with the 'energy saver' seals as those can cause the wet clutch to slip. Change the oil frequently and you can run true crap without issue.

...and the 93 has to come from the Shell just up the street from NHMS if you wanted to keep it "legal".
WOW congrats on the bike you dont waste any time!
