Tim, bro we build ice tracks every winter up here, think NaughtyG's idea is killer, what you say :punk:
 
Got my Nos kit installed with a 36 hp shot...
I 'm finding out that this shit is like a drug, very hard to stay off it...
BIG Thanks to Danny & Mikey mustang for all the help :thumbs up:

very nice man and excellent install. u got right to it huh? looks very clean.
 
replaced my 85 forks,triple trees , front calipers and rotors today.
forks and trees off a 97
rotors off a 93
and 01 r6 calipers.
Feels real good at speed, nice and tight.
 
Did maintenance on the max starting off by washing it, fixed a bad tboost switch, clean and re-oil the K&N filters, etc...

That's when I noticed that the braided vent hose from the oil fill plug to the filters was saturated in oil and the black rubber covers at the puke tank end and hole fill plug end were both ripped down the width of them as if they were blown out???

I fixed it all up as good as new, but it leads me to the question; is this a result of "overpressure" or a case of age? The braided hose/punk tank is about 10 years old.

:ummm:

I am in the process of doing the dreaded o ring fix ( Yamaha needs their ass kicked good for using so soft of an o ring to start with ). Going back with the kawi o ring that Sean recomends and the coo button ( this o ring is much more dense and will work much better ). The main problems that I'm having is working under the bike ( I recomend using a lift for this job ) Working on the floor makes it real hard to see every thing, but I will get it done.
 
Lowered it today. 1" front and rear. Rear 12" progressive 412 series shocks, Front 1" thru the tree and installed progressive springs. Can't believe the difference in the ride with the proggressive front springs. Highly recommended.
