I'm all for enthusiasm but even years ago as a young, strong bladdered, young boy, I couldn't have stayed in a swimming pool all day without peeing in it. That would take some extreme will power. Ha! I just meant that it was 8hrs with no stops. The whole trip would have probably taken closer to 10. xD 1 It's all about keeping that rubber side down.

Especially with this bikes suspension, ha! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattonme Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 My nurse said that "a spreading warmth sensation" might be a prelude to nirvana, or perhaps death. And then she injected me some feel good juice. "Don't worry if you pee on the OP table - it happens more than you think." Thanks doc, now shove that rotor-router up my LAD artery please... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstang4 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Ohhh, Haha. Ok that makes sense. Yes I noticed the side cover but that's easily explainable. My mind couldn't come up for any reason for the plug. Though with that being the case, make sure you check your air box. There have been posts here, pictures and all showing critters using it for storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1limited Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Tried two differing bars, set of Vortex HB829K, and a set of Street Emgos Did not feel right on each. Back to stock. Next set of Vortex JMurphy bend and a set of flanders.. Just cleaned her up, waiting on my rear shock for the R1 need speed not wheelies right now, or wait I could do Speed and Wheelies “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member howworkclutch Posted May 22, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 22, 2017 cursed it. kicked it. considered burning it. built an impromptu over-head lift. stood the damned bike back up. reinstalled the fork tubes. messaged the whole @#$%ing front end until the binding went away. went for a ride. adjusted cartridges. went for another ride. put it on the paddock stand. adjusted rear wheel alignment 9000000 times. adjusted bars. adjusted levers. called it a pos and gave up for the day. -HowWorkClutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwidowspeak Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Installed Akrapovic Ti exhaust. First time turning a wrench on something with a motor attached to it! Took me a long time though. However, my overall satisfaction is marred by a paranoia that I did something wrong. Keep hearing the engine at idle and thinking "Is this normal?"

Premium Member panchobullet Posted May 22, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 22, 2017 Not really for Dark-Y but to my head, I got a new awesome helmet. I was wearing an Icon Airmada "Thriller" and before that an Icon Alliance "Dirty South" so the move was quite obvious for me.... Icon Airframe "Pharaoh" with a gold mirrow shield... At least for me it fits perfect, new shape/style is a lot more aggressive but it feels really nice, lot of air moving but low noise level. Really happy with my new "toy". - Pancho 2 You've never seen me cause I'm too damn fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattonme Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Did they confuse 't' with 'f' up there because their hands where shaking of cold? Or that's all the numb lips could muster for enunciation? The correct term is of course "Fahrvergnügen", though 'fart' as a contraction does make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been eyeing it for a while now. But my old helmet is still good and has at least 2 more years to go.

Redstang4 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Bought an Icon Variant splintered helmet. Couldn't help myself, between revzilla price matching and zilla bucks I got it for $159! That's about $200 cheaper than a non graphic solid color variant. I'm kind of a gear nut and always looking at new stuff. So I will be swapping this back and forth between my Shoei Gt Air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
