whitta20 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I got my full motorcycle licence on Monday so today, I installed my Yoshimura exhaust... (Here in New Zealand, you're not allowed to modify the bike performance wise whilst on your restricted or probationary licence) I'm so happy with the Yoshi, sounds amazing!!!

Premium Member Goose1072 Posted June 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 25, 2015 Will be keeping the cool white on the bike instead of the blue one. It looks so much cooler...LOL Headlight bulb is next..... For headlight bulb consider the OSRAM Night Racer 110 H4. It is really good. OSRAM Site I went with these to try out as a headlight bulb GENSSI Super White 5000k pretty cheap for $11 bucks for the pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good value! O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause...till it come back to me.

bmwpowere36m3 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Installed a Vagabond fender eliminator… saves ~1.4 lbs (not taking into account turn signals if you go for small aftermarket ones). Now waiting on a Motodynamic taillight and then I'll decide if I want to still run separate turn signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good high quality H4 is still a great, cost effective option. 1 Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member pgeldz Posted June 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 Put the Akra Ti back on, mirrors are back on, and did some more dyno tuning tweaking the map for a little less engine braking.

Premium Member Snoopy Posted June 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 The dealership here refused to order part until they had the bike and then couldn't say when part would be here. The refused to order it until they got a big enough order from Yamaha to qualify for free shipping. They had my bike for 17 days. For the battery cable recall? Eff that! I still haven't taken mine in, but I did reroute the cable myself when I installed the EJK. It seems fine where I have it; no signs of chaffing. I'm not dropping mine off until they tell me I'll get it back the same day. In fact, I may ride there and wait on it. That is surprising, I called my dealership and made an appointment within a week, went for a coffee across the dealership and picked the bike up about 90 min later, all done. You might want to look for a different dealership.... Love to ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My home dealership is good this one just sucks. I almost made an appointment where I bought the bike they kept the kits in stock because they sold so many of these. I would have had to ride 200 miles bit it would have been faster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wickedtwister Posted June 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 Laguna is one of those track that's if you ever get a chance to go to, do it!!! I've been lucky enough to drive (in a car) some of the coolest tracks in the world. Laguna seca, Road Atlanta, Road America, Daytona, VIR, Sebring, Nurembergring. I've probably been on a half dozen other not as iconic tracks. Carolina Motorsports park, gingerman raceway, Pittsburgh Internal Raceway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, spring mountain, and a few others but almost nothing is as cool as the corkscrew at Laguna. Taking that left hand turn just before you enter it and not being able to see the track or where you need to go is an unforgettable experience. Just have to rely on land markers and instinct. Truly awesome. It's probably a bit different on a bike but every bit as amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine it in a car, but on a bike, when you introduce lean angles and such, it's just as you said...unforgettable It'll be something I have in my memory banks for a long, long time. I've driven the 'Ring also (in a car), but the corkscrew at Laguna...wow, just wow. Not sure what can top that particular corner...maybe Eau Rouge at Spa? What I do know is that this whole experience doing track days has got me hooked, and the FZ-07 is proving to be a very capable performer in nearly all settings - track, canyon carving, commuting, touring, etc. Yamaha really did hit a home run with this motorcycle. So much so, it's got me second guessing my plans to purchase a new R1 next spring. - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member djdiddles Posted June 27, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 Just changed my oil and filter. :-) idk why but it is completely satisfying to see used oil come out, and putting in clean, fresh oil in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Today I rode down to the Sunset Grill and saw an older guy in the parking lot on an old Harley hit a curb @ about 3 mph. and fall over into some bushes. He looked like a drunk old sailor all red in the face, rough voice and struggling to get the bike off of him and I wondered if he had had too much to drink. He was pretty well pinned so I helped lift the 700 lb. pos off of him. I didn't smell any alcohol and I asked him if he was ok to ride and he said yeah. He pulled away fairly steady so I didn't follow him. Hope he made it home ok. I went to the Yamaha dealership also and saw that they had some of that Motul T4 full synthetic oil there for like $37. I should've checked but it looked like a gallon jug. Maybe just two quarts. Have to call them and ask. 1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
