targaflorio Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I use pitbull with OES sliders just fine. Did you try adjusting the width? They are adjustable. Maybe if I flip the cradle around 180? The bolt I got that tightens the cradle/fork to the carriage sticks out and pushes against the axle slider before the slider spool can seat in the fork.

Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted September 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 21, 2014 So I guess the motorcycle superstore laceless boots are not made to withstand warp 5? Good to know. 8-) Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. 8-)Yeah, it happened while riding, maybe my foot swelled up from the massive g-forces. Looking for an alternative boot before I contact them. The FZ can be a speed monster. Don't think I need anything faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biker2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Changed the head light bulb for a better one and replaced the auxiliary light bulb with a LED.Hi Guru, Is the stock head light no good at night then? Which replacement did you go for? I will be traveling home form work quite late, the light that was on the 125 i had was horrendous, would of been better of using a candle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azfz Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Tightened the chain, and then put about 140 miles on the bike. Finally hit 600 miles and taking it in for the first service on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted September 22, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2014 @biker2014, the head light is okay if you adjust it But I decided to go for Bi-Xenon HID. The write up is here. It is a simple and cheap upgrade. Not that I ride much at night, but it makes me more visible for other cars. I went for 6000k, which has a white/blueish tone.

Premium Member craigm Posted September 22, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 22, 2014 Started out the day yesterday with 500 miles on it, and wanted to hit 600. Ended up at 865 by the end of the day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member hobbs Posted September 23, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 23, 2014 Changed the oil, otherwise riding just about every day. Might finish installing the denali soundbomb this weekend. Don't have all the tools I need to make a bracket, they're stuffed in storage. Everything went braap.

Premium Member rmdet Posted September 23, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 23, 2014 Just picked up a battery tender tonight and will install the leads this weekend as my first official modification. Thank you to those who posted comments earlier about that one being essential - I would have completely overlooked it! I am concerned though that my list of future mods may grow faster than anticipated... example - just saw the earlier reference to the Denali SoundBomb (thanks hobbs). Had to search for a YouTube , as I had no idea what it was. Yeah, that is DEFINITELY on the list now! I am still laughing like an idiot thinking about getting to use that for the first time. Windscreen, frame sliders, side bags... oh, and I may be trying several Plasti Dip colors if it works as easily as it claims (or maybe vinyl wrap kits - any advice regarding which is easier is appreciated). I have the white FZ-07, so frame and wheels should be color friendly for nearly anything. Love the stock pearl white, but the idea of changing colors at will sounds way too cool. Seems I may have found my hobby for this winter! Will post here if anything I do turns out well (colossal failures will not be shown!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migglesworth Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Installed 2006 YZFR6 throttle tube. Throttle opens with much less twist. Not for the faint of heart. This is the one mod I am most excited about. Even more than exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first I've heard of this, and it is freaking ridiculous. I was cracking up. This mod is now imminent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
