Hmmm... Didn't know that... I've been clutch riding and holding the front brake to slow down... Never occured to me to drive it like my Mustang and engine brake....

I never really pay attention to the gear numbers I'm using... Got use to just feeling it out... So, I'm curious about this as well....

Thanks Disco!! I used the ProTech kit that came with the little plastic applicator. The key was leaving the wheels on the bike and having a buddy turn the wheels VERY slowly while I held the plastic applicator in place with one hand and followed the strip very closely with my other thump...

I hate to admit this, but since my wreck back in November I haven't had the heart to REALLY get down and into a lean... I will say this, I opened the bike up ONCE yesterday afternoon on the interstate (I-110). The tires felt insanely good weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds. Also...

So, here she is! Linear side shot: Why yes, those R6 pegs are powder coated Yamaha Reflex Blue: And the rear, LED fender eliminator and new rear tire: Black powder coated front forks and new front tire: Yamaha logo on my brake master cylinder: Just for some giggles: And the...

As promised, here they are: And the front: I put about 700-800 miles on them the past two days just playing around.

That's my daughters name! Lol

Yeah... There's only ONE bike store around here that installs tires... Roughly 450 for the tires, another 130 or so to mount then 120 for over night... Roughly 700... My butt hole still hurts... But my bike is happy... She told me so...

Okay, no major updates over the past few days... However... Everything is together. Except for the radiator cover and my right mirror... Forgot to order it... I'll be posting pics tomorrow. I spent nearly eight hours riding her around Harrison County today testing put the new Pilot 3 tires...

I rode the hell out of it. Brand new set of Pilot Road 3s on the and put over 350 miles on them today.

I got my set of Pilot Road 3s in yesterday and were installed the same day. I'll take pics in the morning of how they look. Today I put close to 350 miles on them just cruising around. I paid close to 700 dollars for them after 120 dollar overnight delivery charge. They feel VERY nice.

Well, as it turns out for radiator cover, according to EvoTech the UK radiator has the same part number throughout those years, however here in the US we have had a few different part numbers from 04-09. So somewhere the mounting points shifted a half of inch. However the seller says he will...

Well, ran into my first problem... I'm at the point of reassembling everything and I went to install the radiator cover... It doesn't fit... As you can see, the mounting tabs are too far in, and the whole unit is a too big. I contacted the seller and he in turn has contacted the...

I ordered the LED kit, and am in the process of rebuilding the bike. I actually have a thread following my progress: http://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/35860-we-can-rebuild-her-we-have-technology.html

Lol You guys are awesome.

I think it has a lot to do with the accident... Mine the bike simply slid on its side at about 45 mph. I'd imagine that if it had something to catch on that it may have done some frame damage. However, after seeing how they DID safe my bike, I will ALWAYS have them. The situations they save the...

Frame Sliders replacement day! These things were a breeze. Bought a set of extended frame sliders off of Ebay. They look just like my old ones except longer and didn't have YZF in white on them. So, first I had to remove my old one: Grabbed the 16 mm socket, and unbolted both of them. As...

And here is the forks, powder coated in all of there glory: Oh no! It's too sexy!

LOL let me guess, I get a -1 rep for that? LOL

I feel like a complete idiot now... OMG... A complete idiot... *waves hand* this is not the thread you are looking for... move along now... Um... Thank you :BLAA:
