Are you going to the infineon go kart track?
And yeah its not exactly easy to wheelie with stock, but from 5-6k rpms in first gear is where you wanna twist hard, and lean back, saddlebags help :rock:
haha no, although I'd love to check that out some time on something smaller. Just the regular track, which isn't tight compared to some tracks, but is compared to thunderhill which is where I did my last two track days. I've heard about people playing with the gearing at Infineon and figured it would be interesting to mess with. I'm gonna take the stock sprocket with my spares in case I don't like it for some reason.
So far on the street its been fun though. No issues with freeway cruising either.
 
I fixed the reverse gear that stopped working when I installed the fairy sparkles. Now the stereo is not turning on.

Any suggestions will be well appreciated.


I am Ofir and I approve this post.
For reverse gear you're essential pulling out the power that going forwards puts into the capacitor, so you may be drawing too much power from the capacitor which may not be leaving enough juice for the stereo amp to kick in. It probably needs a decent amount of power to run those speakers and two subs. Try putting smaller wheels on and see if that helps.
 
Lolz

All for the street bike:
New DID chain and front sprocket. Kept the rear supersprox on because it still looks almost as good as the day I put it on. That thing is incredible!! Next to do is give the tail and tank new paint and to refresh fork oil in both legs and fork seal on the left leg. Might even pull and polish the front head pipe so she's all shiny for the rally :)
 
New knurled aly pegs on the stock rear sets. Got sick of constantly swiveling my toes on the pegs looking for grip, but don't wanna put out for full woodcrafts yet, although thats the end goal.
Also put on a new RK chain in prep for tuesdays track day. Sunday will be the full prep day.

Tried that and blew the capacitor. Now I'm stuck in 2014 :(

Uhhh, today I broke the mirror off of my 2000 curvy while splitting lanes in LA. Just ordered some cheap aftermarket things that will probably look more cool than those round things anyway. I'm mostly stock, so I'll keep the good mirror in case I want to go retro, but I'm thinking about a few mods anyway.

Darned cagers!

Fersuredude
 
Oil change, pro taper bars, new levers, ebc sintered brake pads. Today will hopefully get the stainless steel brake lines on and new fluid and flushing the radiator.
 
I got all my parts! On the list this weekend:
New chain buffer, ZX10R shock, one inch lowering links, SV1000 snorkel, new chain/sprockets, Ricor Intiminators, fresh fork oil, SM2 handlebar, Renthal grips, new Delkevic, TRE, new distribution block.
