skawdee Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I removed all the plastics, gas tank and spark plugs so I can put new ones in Tues when they arrive. Also going to swap the rear shock with the K-Tech Razor R Lite and change fork oil with Bel Ray 15W and cut down the spacer 10mm (80% mod). Which, by the way, I'm a little upset with our Vendors on this sight! I've been trying to get a hold of both pattonme, Forks By Matt and Bellissimoto to no avail. Tired of waiting for a response so just pulled the trigger on Revzilla 5 mins ago. I was hoping we could get a group buy going as there were at least 2 others interested. Oh well... next time! I hope everybody's safe and healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted March 29, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2020 @skawdee, pattonme has been AWOL for a while. Suspension was not his main job and his other job was taking up all his time. Bellissimoto is usually very responsive, but perhaps they are closed due to the current health crisis. I am curious how you like the ride after cutting the spacers. It seems to be a rather contentious mod, but I have not heard a first hand report from someone who has done it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jord Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 A week into lock down, can’t ride, can’t go to work... bored out of my mind so spent the day cleaning her up. Also stuck some tank protectors on that I’ve had for awhile but was undecided on but bit the bullet today and stuck em on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZ07R WaNaB Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Today my FZ got it's brake fluid changed front and back, as well a set of Spiegler SS lines being added to the front. I just got back from a 50 mile ride, and the difference is noticable to the point where I'm going to have to be a little careful stopping at stop lights and stop signs so that I don't get too much bite too quickly. I already had EBC HH pads in the front which made a real difference, and the Spieglers make it only better.

Yeah I had a feeling this virus was going to hurt a lot of businesses. It's unfortunate. We just need to try to make the best of it and try to find ways to take advantage of some opportunities we'd otherwise not have. I'll chime in again when I have everything put back together. Until then, you can actually try it out for yourself without having to cut your stock spacer. Just get 1" PVC with 5-8mm schedule. When cutting to your length, make sure you get all the flakes off the cut end. Don't leave it in there, but you're good to go for at least a decent ride to get the feel. Make a few of them at different length to see what you like compared to the stock spacer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answer to that without diving into it and I haven't taken mine out yet to measure. But that info should be out there in the web somewhere.

They were a gloss black before but after 2 years and 16,000 miles they needed a refresh and i was tired of black. What paint you use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed because I am pulling my hair out with this thing. Got an update from Nels at 2WDW regarding my quick shifter. For once it looks like I didn’t screw it up. “ I finished the Read process on it first thing this morning, and the quickshifter firmware was completely scrambled. I have no idea why this would be, as all of our files use the most updated quickshifter firmware from FTECU, but their software has not been very reliable recently with many of their new updates screwing up older features. We have updated the firmware and re-done the Read process to make sure no other pieces of the flash are corrupted. “ ECU should be back tomorrow so my fingers are crossed. Going to get it all back together and go for a ride. Thanks 2wheeldynoworks for saving a little of my sanity! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenRacing Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 with all the pandemic scare going on it is yet to be determined that our race organization will run in early may, so I could have more than a month... side covers, and oilpan off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the Dave Moss front fork fix last weekend, definitely made a difference in the dampening. Front feels more planted.
