Merry Christmas to all!! May we all get moto related gifts!!!

In addition to springs and oil, maybe the seals need replacing? A cheap option would be to buy some stock springs from someone who upgraded their forks already. What did your friend to to the fork already? Did he change the springs or add a longer spacer to bump up the preload?

Welcome home and thank you. Like previously posted, oil, brake fluid, coolant. Also check your tires not just for wear but age. Is there any cracking on the sidewalls? If so get new tires, there are some great tires out there, always better than the stock ones. Fork oil may need changing...

I am all for these. I am interested in the one in the photo snce the Armored Air and Hit Air are dark colors. I already ride with hi-viz, so a hi-viz vest makes sense to me. What brand is in the photo?

I used to have a Clear Alternatives clear lens and LED bulb, but it was not very good it was very washed out in the sun with only a little spotlight of red. It was a big led (24 leds) but very directional, facing to the rear. Here is a link to some photos I posted on another forum, trying to...

It's not that the oil decomposes, but it contains contaminants as a result of combustion that could lead to corrosion as it just sits there over the winter. Changing the oil just keeps everything clean internally.

I love that Gary Busey one too.

Yay!!!! Congrats dude! Spend it on safety gear or training to help you have a long life of riding.

This is the best forum! I am happy to donate!

I love the look! I've been riding with out the screen on and prefer it (even after I cut down my stock screen). I may follow suit if i get bored this winter. I like these bar end mirrors

Uncaged Sliders. I used to have them until a small wreck. Unfortunately, I believe they are out of business

Off topic, but your GI Joe t-shirt is cool.

Welcome!!! This is a great community and you'll love the bike!

I think it totally depends on the intersection. I have never had issues in WA state, but when in I was living in CA, some intersections would never trigger. I was riding my Ninja 250 and it would not trigger some lights. BUT, in the same intersections, on my wife's Ninja 250 which had one of...

Update: Well I still get bubbles that make getting reading difficult, but 1-2 are much closer and 3 seems close as well. I still can't get a feel on 4. Although for the first 10-12 seconds after start up (and engine already warmed up) all seem to be close, then3/4 go haywire. But I think this is...

Thanks for the help, but I did warm up the engine before hand. I adjusted it best I could given the bubbles and things are now more evenly balanced than the photos suggests but I think I need a professional to take a look or use a different type of manometer. Your directions and guide were very...

It is a fair question. All four hoses are connected to all four throttle bodies. The fluid in that photo either got sucked into the other hoses or the bubbles turns it into a fine foam. Not so much in the photo shown, but on the many times I have tried this and try to adjust the throttle bodies...

Still have problems. Here is a photo of my set up before trying to seal the connectors to show the bubbles and then a photo of the seal. BUT I still have bubbles coming from somewhere which makes it impossible to get a read. I am lost and fed up, I think I'll just go but some ebay gauges and be...

Upon closer inspection, I think that the junction between the hoses and the f- connectors was not airtight. The hoses were on all the way but everytime I start the engine, bubbles would percolate up, making the fluid jump all over since I really could not keep a vaccuum there So, I went and...

HELP! I built this as the directions stated, but when I run the motor, the fluid jumps so much I can see anything. I then gets aerated with tiny bubbles that make the fluid disperse into the tubes. What am I doing wrong. I am using all the described parts including restrictors and 2 stroke oil...
