    2009 R6S Forks - Upgrade?

    Since yours is an 04, you'll also need his calipers too. And the axle. I've got a set waiting to go on my 07 when I get some time

    Questions regarding Öhlins rear shocks

    My quick research shows that the 403 is adjustable for rebound damping only, and the 543 has compression and rebound adjustability, making it the better shock. As far as other alternatives, if you really wanted a beast on the track, spend $3-4000 on an already track-prepped bike with the...

    What do you think about this price?

    You're making too big of a deal out of "no documented maintenance". Valve check is the big one, sure. Everything else is easy to DIY though. Check the condition of the chain/sprockets, check the thickness of the brake pads, check the condition of the tires, color or the brake fluid, etc. Lots...

    Sena 10R ?

    I have the older SMH10 with the jog wheel and I'm very happy with it. You can get single units on ADV for under $100. I use it for listening to music everyday, communicating with my wife 2up, and communicating on group rides. I've considered upgrading to the 10C for the dash cam feature. If you...

    CBR600F4i Wrenching Summary

    If it still has the OEM CCT on it, you may want to replace that while you're in there. APE is the popular brand for replacements. I've got one waiting to go on my track F4.

    Buying Overseas

    Screw the exhaust, spend that $500 on a couple track days at the new Palmer Motorsports track. :rockon: Actually, the Thompson track is right next door to you, too, but I like Palmer a lot more Motorcycle Track Days in New England for more info.

    So I fell today

    My fairing is cracked in the exact same spot above the "mole". Take the mole off, and drill a 1/8" hole in the end of the crack to keep it from spreading. The hole will be covered by the mole and the crack wont be that visible - I forget that mine is even cracked. Sand/paint the stator cover...

    Shoei Qwest vs RF1200

    Try them both on, they fit differently. Qwest is slightly round, the RF1200 is slightly oval. The RF fits me pretty well, the Qwest gave me a headache after a couple minutes trying it on.

    How to make ourselves more visible?

    I noticed a big difference when I switched from a black helmet to a solid hi-viz tennis ball yellow helmet a couple years ago. The cars that usually would be pulling out of a side street weren't anymore. Unfortunately that helmet didn't last too long, as it was the wrong shape for my head...

    More stubborn bolts- Front Axle Removal

    I do this too. You may need to grab the rubber insert with a pair of needle nose pliers to remove it, or push it out from the ratchet side with a screwdriver.

    Tips to maximize MPGs?

    When I have my Givi top case on, I get about 47 MPG. When I have my Givi top and side cases on, I get about 43 MPG. These numbers are very consistent, same type of mixed city/highway riding.

    Heated Gear Draining my Battery

    I installed a cheap $5 ebay China waterproof voltmeter in the inner fairing to keep an eye on the voltage when running heated gear. Also, my dual-headlight mod also had a switch on the inner fairing to shut off the 2nd lowbeam and save 55 watts. Switching to LED turn signals and tail lights will...

    Glad your ok. I don't think they would total it, even if the forks were bent. Loosen all he the triple clamps, and see if everything lines up. Also, make sure that your handlebar isn't just bent itself. Depending on your deductible, it might not even be worth going through insurance. You can get...
