phanomenal07 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Installed the Yoshimura r77 exhaust and the renthal Street ultra low bar. Sounds awesome. Also gonna send in my ecu for another reflash now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Placed my helmet on the seat. Hardly looked at the bike. Its time will come. When Spring is here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 phanomenal07 The pipe looks good, I'm sure it sounds good, too. Before you send that ECU out is there a chance you could take a ride on it and see if the ol' butt-o-meter detects a slight loss of torque in the low end since switching to the Yosh pipe? I've heard things about that pipe w/out a fuel controller and it bugs the hell out of me, (others too, I'm sure) so if you would it would be much appreciated.

Premium Member bornagainbiker Posted January 12, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 12, 2018 Checked on my FZ in storage today. We've had mild and damp weather the past few days, and that usually causes a lot of moisture to collect on everything in the shed. At this point I would like to give a shout out to @r1limited for suggesting a circulating fan--tried it and it works great--no moisture build up on the bike at all. 1 Give Respect To Get Respect https://jeff-galbraith.pixels.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take about a 2hr ride before before I sent the ecu away. I’m no expert or even that experienced but I honestly did feel like I lost some torque. Partially because I usually pop an accidental wheelie every time I ride and in that whole 2 hrs yesterday the front wheel never left the ground. But that could be because of the handle bars being lower then before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful about the lowered bars, I've put all my weight forward to prevent wheelies and it still comes up with the right amount of throttle/clutch pop.

Looks like it's being shipped from China so I'm guessing I'll have to wait a couple weeks for it to arrive but no biggie, I've went 2 1/2 yrs. without one. Should look good on the bike. A special thanks to VertigoTX for bringing attention to the radiator guard first. I just noticed on their site it takes 7 - 20 business days to arrive. I bet they don't take more than a 10 days. Did it arrive? and if so hows the quality and fitment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installed it yesterday. During my two hr ride I notice my temperature was a steady 181 on the highway. It’s usually a steady 172. I’m not sure if that’s because of the Yoshi exhaust or the radiator guard. It fits really nice and looks good. It only covers the grated part of the radiator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No flash yet, I have not had time to bring it down to Nels, was hoping this weekend, probably next.

Let us know how the re-invention of the air- intake plays out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't given it a close inspection nor have I installed it yet because of weather so it just lays on a shelf in a bag. I'll take a pic and say a few words about it later when I get to it. I could slap it on right now if I wanted to but I'm busy shopping for a nice but affordable .22 rifle. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyribs Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I turned my front tire/wheel around. Washing off some road salt and noticed that the spokes on the front rim didn't sweep backwards like the rear rim. Bent down to find the directional arrows on the tire... yep. Been on backwards since new and I didn't even notice it. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Didn't get to ride the white one today, but did take the big red 2 wheeler out. With it 15F, gotta get heat grips for the thing. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
