About to pull the bike into the shop for an upcoming season tune up. Which isn't really just an engine tune up, but an overall thing. Gonna do all my fluids, clean out my foam filter, get a fresh set of NGKs, reorganize some slack wiring, and order a new R/R.
Gonna do a fork rebuild and see if I can get away with keeping my stock springs and running thicker fluid and a little smaller air gap. Planning on tapered headstem bearings while I'm in there.
gonna do seals and I want to do bushings but I can't seem to find a source for them. Any ideas on those?
I just bought a 929rr shock for $40 off of Ebay too. I'm thinking this shock coupled with my fork oil mod should be adequate for my setup. I really wanna do front springs and rebuild the 929 unit, but I'm already spending too much as it is. I'm 235lbs, but my bike weighs 444lbs wet, so its nearly 100lbs lighter than stock. I'm hoping that calculates into the bike acting like I'm 135lbs give or take. It doesn't have to have suspension like a brand new 1000RR, but I'm hoping this will be a significant improvement over the stock setup i've been riding on.
Also about to order a fresh set of Pilot Powers, I'm seeing $216 shipped on Dennis Kirk, sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I'm gonna take a video of me wasting whats left of the bald sportmax, I'll post for you guys.
Anybody got any suggestions?
