Re: Luckybike voltage regulator is this OEM? Should I return
Here is the product page link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VKIX7S/. It is an R6 voltage regulator for use with this harness http://www.ttrignition.com/vrr-upgrades.html. Looking at pics on ebay it looks like the OEM part is in fact made in Japan. What do you guys think use it or lose it? I ...

Re: Very Confused, Cardboard in air box?? (Pics)
The general consensus is that It's a yoshi pipe, should I keep it or just go back to stock exhaust with stock jetting? Indeed, seeing as the cap says "Yoshimura" right on it... By the way, I think the piece of cardboard might have been there to seat the filter properly, as well. My K&N needs a foam...

Re: Ohh, Yes, he did...660 the easy(?) way
yep shouldn't need adjustable cam gears, however the other two points are completely wrong. The cam chain is still loose when you use a base gasket for the 660 install and the tensioner will still apply the same force to the cam chain after being reset (mine went in a bunch of clicks after doing th...

Re: 140/60 vs 150/60, once again (+ Shinko review)
Got the local dealer to bump the 150 down to $120 (less than half of BT016 MSRP). JCWhitney no longer ships to Canada :swear (By the way, Shinko tires are in the Full Bore Marketing catalogue in Canada, same as Arai helmets.) Now I just need a cheap rear shock replacement. Looking at FZ1 upgrade...

Re: 140/60 vs 150/60, once again
Here are some pics. I parked it for the winter pretty soon after the last tracknight last year, and hasn't been long since this year's riding season started.. Rear (150/60): http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/813/rearwear.th.jpg Front (110/70): perhaps I spoke too soon about not needing a new front....

Re: 140/60 vs 150/60, once again
150 = more rotating mass = better stability If you're looking to try something besides to shinko I like the BT016 myself, the avon storm is popular too. I just don't want to throw the front away yet. Also, living a fair distance away from the border, buying new tires is usually one anally exciting ...

Re: 140/60 vs 150/60, once again
Can't help you with your question... sorry :whistle But i am curious what you thought about the Shinko Tires; Would you buy them again? Comparison to other tires you've run? (helping my buddy pick out new tires; trying to decide on a Brand and Size) Well, the only "issue" I've had is the aforementi...

140/60 vs 150/60, once again (+ Shinko review)
Hi all, I'm getting ready to replace my Shinko 150/60 rear (~5k km and a little left until the wear bars), and even after reading the discussions on here, I still can't decide... Points to note: - I don't like the "floaty" feeling at certain speeds (not a huge deal, though; combination of my shock a...

Re: Replacing the Rear Tire... (150/70/18??)
@nick just becareful ... are only as good as the money you spend on them. Welcome to the global economy. banghead FWIW, I have that same Shinko 006 set (110 front, 150 rear), a few thousand + a few track nights. The rear started to wear alarmingly fast initially (well, not surprised, given the road...

Re: cheep digital speedometers found
No temperature display, no dimensions posted, no mention of documentation (let alone documentation in *English*), and probably not much support you can expect from the seller. It's your own cash, but, IMHO, $91 shipped is just plain ridiculous. You may be able to justify astronomically high pricing ...

Re: WIKI software
ie what O/s the server runs on, is the WIKI software cross platform or platform specific ? I was foolish enough to say that from an "author's " / collators point of view it was very easy to use. I've done several setups with various wiki engines for work and hobby... but really, every case has its ...

Re: digital ignitor TID14-70 3EN-00
Ignitech has been mentioned before, and they even have instructions specifically for the 400... Looks like you'd lose the EXUP servo, though.
You could also have a look here or try pinging Don for a TCI repair attempt

Re: Could this be the WRONG engine oil?
I'm not trying to start the never ending oil debate - but the PO made a point of including 3 quarts of oil with the purchase. I thought it was a nice touch, until I just opened the bag and realized this was what he gave me - and I assume is in the engine now??? Ever heard of this stuff? Engine oil,...

Re: Insurance quotes
What is your experience? Pretty much the same thing over here. Keep shopping around. Some companies still lump it together with modern "supersports" (as opposed to "sport touring"). I realize they are trying to discriminate based on the audience that is likely to buy these... but the fact that it c...
