If you are a track guy you'll need to upgrade rear shock at minimum. You could keep the 750 for track. If money is an issue Gen 1 bikes are very fast and comfortable and cheap!
Get rid of them ASAP, total junk. Not worth your life. In rain you will have no traction. I was driving one day in rain, locked up rear tire, then later same day as things were drying up lost traction with mild crack of the throttle at 80 mph.
Next trip on those tires was to mechanic to...
Do some mods and the power starts much sooner. It is a good bike to start with but can be a great bike fully modded.
It is too bad that is costs a small fortune to get it there. I have more money into mods than I could sell the bike for...
Would be nice if they offered an S model with r1...
Depending on price difference I either get the pilot power or pp2. Have been very happy with michelin (bikes and cars).
stock tires didn't belong on a scooter... I know Dunlop makes some good tires but that experience tarnished their brand for me.
Seems like we all mostly saw the same thing. If they ever do it again I suggest
1 no more fan voting
2 ride review by pros
3 less drama more creativity
4 professional panel of judges
Any of you guys watch the show?
It was disappointing.
PJD built another of the same "theme" bikes and not one of his best.
SR built another stinker, the front end looked like some type of tractor
Gas monkey bike was nothing special
JJ had the coolest bike to me but he obviously didn't...
8983 from traxxion close to $900. Pricing going up soon from penske.
I called Lee to convince him to set up an Ohlins for me and he convinced me to go penske based on ride height mostly and the valving set for the spring rate rather than generic. Lee spent over an hour with me on the phone...
Had my penske installed and the bike handles so much better. Feels glued to the ground and turns in 100 times better. Haven't made one change to the setting pre set by traxxion dynamics.
I can't believe that it can still get that much better when I do the forks. The bike is handling so...
added Magic Racing carbon fiber radiator guards for the FZ1 and received my Penske shock in the mail today.
last week I installed Arrow header; PCV; air box mod; FCE; Ivan's Flies; powder coated wheels and rear sets black.:flash:
I want to thank Ivan because without him this would have went much worse for me.
Local mechanic couldn't get the flies off either and told me to ride it with the screw head that way (X2 once they had the same thing happen) or buy another throttle body. I had them take the assembly off and...
