I got some Dunlop q3 put on and finally got the stocks off after 9 years

 

Started taking my bike apart after a crash from a couple weekends ago. Forks and triples are ******, and I'm having a hell of a time sourcing new forks :/ But my frame sliders absolutely saved the rest of the bike, and I've already gotten some new ones in the mail.

 

And it seems like there are zero naked upper triples for sale on Ebay. I've also got to figure out how to replace my steering stem without a dedicated bearing driver, unless I can find one to borrow locally.

 

Your a ways from me. I live in Denton but I have a press for that, If you cant find someone close ship it to me.
I could have you a custom triple made but that will be in the 250-300 range, just an option

 

I might have to take you up on the bearing press. I'd gladly pay for shipping both ways. Is it something similar to this?

And I'm hoping that the upper triple isn't bent. If it is, I might be making the change to clipons, lol. It doesn't look like it (unlike the lower triple which was all sorts of crooked), but I'll find out when I try to slide in the forks I'll eventually buy.

 

Just let me know. I have a 40 ton shop press.

 

Got my new salvage title for it.

 

Wooo! you're now fully legit right?

 

Correct. Rode it in to work today.

 

adjusted chain, clutch cable slack, and replaced brake fluid on the KLR.

 

split lanes and mounted my go pro

 

Got the old frame slider off, and new ones installed. Here's what the old one (that didn't shear off) looked like. It was a stressful few minutes trying to remove it without breaking the bolt.

Going to wire up the Buell headlight here in a few minutes, and possibly remove the old steering stem.

 

Success!

 

Got my fork seal done, as well as give the emulators in both a half turn. Also got a better bleed on the brakes using the whole "caliper above the master" method.

All that while this guy helped out

 

Awesome :rock: :vroom:


I mushroom plugged my pilot power (still need to cut it flush) & rebalanced the wheel.

Also fixed a really stupid problem with my front calipers...

 

Installed my new rear rotor! Its nice not hearing squeeks everytime I use the rear break now.

Also took my bike to the traxxion dynamics open house. Saw lots of bikes, walked around the shop (super nice by the way), ate some bbq, heard some bands and watched my buddy Aaron Twite destroys some tires. This guy can ride, which I guess is why he gets to travel the world and do so...

if you notice in this first pic his kick stand is down. for his finish he slides in sideways, flips his kickstand down, jumps off the bike, and lands standing up with his bike standing up behind him. I missed the shot with him in the air but you get the idea.

Watching these machines run through dummy programs was really awesome to see.

oh and lets not forget this cute little grom :vroom:

 

installed front turn signals and Napolean bar end mirrors. removed wind screen. overall I think the bike looks way better meow

 

Lubed and adjusted chain, adjusted tire pressure.

 

Lubed and adjusted chain. Hit the brake rotors with a red scotchbrite pad

 

Finally got a sticker for my tank, so not only will there be protection from scratches, I also get a nice carbon decoration to my bike.

 

Tried to figure out why I'm not getting enough fuel above 8k rpm and it starts to cut out. It's either the pump or the filter.

 

Ran it on the dyno.
Reprogrammed the ECU for fuel and timing.

This post is worthless without the results...

Worthless

Rockrat, sorry I never knew you cared.
This is for an SV1000 not a 650.
The bigger motor is not as smooth as the 650. It also had an annoying vibration around 6000 revs. I surmised it was the spark retard in the first three gears and a corresponding leaner mixture. Was right on both counts. 5 degree retard.
Not everyone can reprogramme the ECU, but Nels can.
So with the timing advanced and the fuel supply adjusted, the vibration has mostly gone.
By the numbers from memory. The tach lies, shows about 11,000 revs when actually at 10,200 WOT. 152 mph, 108 hp and around 65 pounds of torque, flat across most of the rev range. Later we will try for 120 rear wheel hp and 75 torque. Whether the actual top speed matches the dyno, depends on wind resistance needing 108hp to do 152, or whether Bluzu may go a bit faster.
There are extra revs available, or maybe one more teeth on the rear sprocket.
But 150 plus is plenty fast enough. I have been close and Bluzu had lots of steam left.
There were several SV650s at The Ridge race track in WA, but zero SV650 non racers. One bike has been enlarged to 700 plus cc. runs well.

I pulled the top brake line off my '01 650 naked. I had installed Daytona bars and bar risers at the end of the summer last year and the brake line was tighter than I liked. Will stop at Earl's on Gasoline Alley on the way to work tomorrow morning and get a custom line made up.

Should be able to get it reinstalled just in time for temps to drop this weekend.

 

Took off my yellow plates

 

You scored enough points?

Congrats on joining big leagues

 

Put my front end back together and reinstalled it. Feels alot better now, just in time for a last minute trackday on monday.
