ugh! getting colder!


i meant calibrate it so you can get over 200 on the display, and snap a pic & post it. then watch and laugh as all the other gixxuh rydaz cream themselves.


though i wonder if you calibrated it like that, would the speed limiter kick in at like 30mph??

[DBConz]

guess i suck then

Yeah it might inadvertently strip you down to a tshirt and shorts and start doing wheelies on the straight

[DBConz]

i believe when i took that group ride, you were passing me. i rode responsibly with a broken clavicle and wore protective gear.

yea dude, pull that thing outta the garage and let's do it!

[DBConz]

gear indicator, grips, plate frame, chain, sprockets installed today. speedohealer also re-calibrated to -15%

[DBConz]

so I drove to the body shop where I dropped my plastics off to get the scratches fixed. told me 2-3 weeks, so I figured after 5.5 weeks they should be ready. got them back untouched and covered in dust from the shop. said they were too busy to even start them. at least he said he got the new inspection stickers, and will give me a free inspection when i bring the bike by.

Sweet dude!! And a swingarm slider to boot?

[DBConz]

Just got home from working on the bike. Tried to take the OEM damper off, but I ended up stripping the bolt. So it's on there for good. All I have left now is the right fairing, which will go one after I change the oil.

Here's Sunday's new chain & sprocket


Sunday's new gear indicator with TRE. Neutral displays 0 on the indicator.


Tonight - installed the nose, headlight, pig spotters, windscreen, and adjusted the hyperpro damper.

Man, I'd be pissed. What's up with that kinda service?
How bad are the scratches? You could just sand em down a bit
by hand and then use a filler primer... then take em to a paint shop
to paint 'em up again. Save a bit of money and make it faster.

About track bike? You got one now. No excuses... Let's see you
out in Louden in April!

no track bike yet. might look into buying one this time next year. not buying one till this bike is paid off.

[akira700]

What I'm saying is ride your Gixxer at the track.
Its not about the bike its about learning control of it.
You can do this on any bike practically.

[DBConz]

i'm not putting that bike on the track. too much prep work to put it on the track. plus i'm all set with replacing the chrome on it. i'm thinking of either getting another 01-03 GSXR 600 or a 636 for a track bike

[akira700]

Prep? Its next to nothing.
See TonysTrackDays.com

Though we may not allow all the chrome due to the possibility of it
blinding other riders!

[l3uddha]

this is a good example of why i wont ride with gizzers.

[DBConz]

changed the oil, installed the fairings, and rode the bike home tonight

[GixerJockey]

The 750 has already has it's oil changed. I still need to install the braided brake lines, change the brake pads, and install the new GPR steering damper (when and if it ever releases from backorder)

The 1000 is almost ready to go. I already changed the oil, charged the battery, cleaned the air filter, spent the day on the dyno correcting my fuel/air map and timing.

Today, I disassembled my rear sub-frame (things were loosening up), Loc-tite'ed everything. I also finally installed the new steel braided clutch and throttle cables that have been hanging on my garage wall for almost a year. Now all the cables match. I also need to take the front end apart. I have a carbon-fiber front fairing stay on order. That should amount to another decent weight savings.
