    Just installed a Shorai battery

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_787_Dreamliner_battery_problems I've been using lithium batteries for many years in my RC Heli's and airplanes. They can be volatile but if they have proper charging and are quality batteries they are safe, as long as they are not punctured. Li-ion packs...

    Just installed a Shorai battery

    Actually, I paid a bit less $133 - bought from this dealer through Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056H6CP4

    Just installed a Shorai battery

    It's Lithium based battery, paid about $165 shipped IIRC - it's right in that ball park

    Just installed a Shorai battery

    Crazy how light this is. 2# vs. 8.5# measuring with an inaccurate bathroom scale. I looked at a bunch of options including the less than $40 batteries on Amazon. Settled on this one because - this is my $20k motorcycle (with mods and whatnot) It's a bit smaller so I used a small block of...

    Fuel Mileage

    I was shocked when I bought my 2015 brand new, never had a new bike before this. Fuel light came on with 75 miles on it - I thought "well maybe the dealer didn't fill it up all the way". It was so new I could still smell the paint curing on the engine while I was driving it around. Now I'm...

    Double D Clutch Mod

    That's the real question - which collector/mid-pipe to go with. There are some very different designs out there.

    Double D Clutch Mod

    don't forget the intake side too - at least take out the restrictor plate from the airbox!

    600 mile checkup

    Just got mine back from the dealer today $201 out the door with tax and all. 1.2hrs of labor plus the oils and filter.

    600 mile checkup

    The dealer wants $180 for the 600 mile service. If I did it myself and used all Yamaha brand filters and fluid I figure it'd cost me near $80 - so I'm spending $100 to have the dealer change the oil/filter/diff oil and run a computer check. There are two levels of the YES program. The 5 yr...

    600 mile checkup

    I'm at 500 miles now so I called my dealer and asked - $180 for the service - oil change - rear diff change - hookup to the computer and look for any issues - check everything over. - The book calls for 1.2 hrs of shop time if I heard him correctly. Pretty sure it's a money maker for them -...

    Exhaust question

    thanks for the confirmation - seems like the one to go with as it'll keep all 4 header pipes the same length if I'm looking at this right. So this is a true 4-2 system, looks like there is no connection between the 2 final collectors. Anyone compare this to 4-1-2 X-pipe on a dyno? or

    Exhaust question

    I keep going around the different options for my '15 - I'm settling down to wanting just K&N + restrictor removal, Nash Flash and de-CAT. The stock cans are my favorite look. The cat eliminator pipe that seems to make the most sense to me is this one...

    No brake covers?

    Engine Break in period

    I'm at 450 miles on my 2015. I've kept it below 6k RPM. I do crack the throttle and probably hit 7k once :-) Even after the 600 mile fluid change they recommend staying out of it until 1000 miles. Then we hit the 1/8 mile track to practice launches! I'm getting about 75 miles per tank. Yep...
