    kev's next mod

    Nice mod Kev. Digging the steering damper location. I got the same and been wondering where to out it. I wasn't sure if the tab on the frame would be strong enough. I guess it is! I need to order the fork clamp and will be installing it soon. On the airbox. My first test wad to cut off the...

    Is the ABS available in the USA yet ?

    Pro or con is a matter of choice I guess. Cars of today are light years ahead safer than 20 years ago. People still crash just as much... if not more. Driver aids doesn't make up for poor driving skills... they just gives poor driver a false sense of safety and rely of electronic widget instead...

    Exhaust & MOT published 10th January 2005

    Too loud? Pack it up with steel whole and put the DBK back in. Keep the rev low... after inspection drive hard, the packing should pop like canon balls LOL Use to do it back in the days on my car just to pass inspection.

    Forks question

    130mm before springs installed. 130mm is not one of those magic number, it works well for me. I won't go over 120 but 130mm is a good start. Sorry... I replied to the wrong thread...

    brake upgrade

    The hole on the C clamp need to be drill from 10mm to 12mm (swingarm side) Then there's very minimal trimming of the plastic on the under tray for the canister to clear.

    brake upgrade

    What problems? I'm 175 lbs w/o gear... .90 kg/mm spring GP piston kit with 7W oil Oil level: 130mm That fixed the front end for me... Rear I use the ZX10 shock

    brake upgrade

    Same here. I went with a biger master (16mm - FZ8) and 320mm EBC rotors & Pro pads. More braking power & better feel. Front suspension set-up is also very important.

    Fork Oil ?

    Fork Oil ?

    If you have the stock valving you could go up to 7W. 10W might still be ok and 5W might not make a big difference. As far as oil level goes, all depend of your riding style. If you are aggressive on the brake and feel like the bike dive too much... I would add some. The air gap on a fork is...

    Fork Oil ?

    I did the .90 springs with 10W oil for a while, it was ok. I now have the GP piston kit from Stoltec with 7W oil and I raise the oil level to 130mm instead of 148mm stock. The oil level greatly improve the diving under hard braking. If you ride on bumpy road a lot, stick with 5W or 7W max. 10W...

    Suspension upgrades....

    The shock is a bit over damp. Open both bumps all the way CCW, Reb 1.25T in from full open (full open all the way CCW) I'm 180 w/o gears, so about 195 suite up. The 9.1kg/mm (33mm rider sag) work great for me on track days. Normal riding I could use a 9.4kg/mm but I keep the 9.1 in. Tire wear...

    Brembo

    What about you just call Brembo directly instead of getting upset from people giving you good advise?

    Brembo

    I upgraded mine for EBC R1's (320mm) rotors, EBC pro pads, SS lines and I use a 16mm master (FZ8 for the oem mirrors) The whole combo work great! I kept the calipers but add some R6's spacers.
