I Need a new rear brake pedal after a drop. the bikes fine but the rear foot brake pedal got bent back an entire 180. The only ones i can find are on the yamaha website for $50. I am just checking if any one has one laying around that I can get for cheep.

So I was visiting family in Pennsylvania about two weeks ago and was talking with one of my cousins about buying a bike and how it was a good Idea, granted he's 19 and my uncle is not so fond of the idea, but were working on it. As we carry on hes showing my pictures of bike hes liked as hes...

No, I was at the shop where I work I was using a vacuum trandsucer, and built a vacuum bag out of a high heat thick plastic. Its kind of what i do for a living. I found this web site Kinda give you a look at how i build it.Vacuum Bagging Basics

Still working on the finishing. got caught up at work and haven't had a chance to finish yet. But the carbon fiber isn't bad to work with. It's definitely a less flexible then regular fiber glass. It wouldn't have been able to stick if i didn't vacuum it on, but sanding it is just like any other...

I'm heading out to Phoenix near the beginning of the year. How's the riding out there? Google makes it seam like the Tonto National Forest has some good twisties.

That sounds like VA cops, I had a friend who went down on a CBR three weeks ago and wasnt as lucky as you. He shattered his leg and pretty much totalled his bike after hitting some gravel, and the cops followed the ambulance back to the hospital and gave him a reckless driving ticket. I'm...

I now Have the carbon fiber overlay under vacuum

It all started last weekend. When a few people from work wanted to go to the mountains and loaded up four bikes on the trailer. During the trip we had a ratchet strap malfunction "meaning someone ratcheded the bike around a pinch point" and one of the straps broke on the bike next to mine. We...

I have a 2011 and put on the two brothers exhaust and love it. Its so easy to install and a thousand pounds lighter than OEM. I've been riding with it for about six months and haven't got annoyed with the volume yet. I like the look of the black series carbon fiber on it. I went with the...

I would do it all myself. Im not a fan of over paying someone to do something like maintenance. I would have your friend show you some tips on what to do and maybe have him there while you do it. It will help you out in the long run when it comes to your wallet on preventative maintenance.

Just got the relay in and installed it in about ten seconds. It works like a charm was totally easier than messing around with all those resistor.

Im the Same way, I used to be the loudest on in the group with the two brothers slip on, now everyone in my group is doing custom mods trying to make theres louder than mine, and they ended up suceeding. But as for convinience the slip on was way easier and Now i am not the loudest in the group...

I haven't got the relay in yet, I'm kinda hoping it fixes the issue. The site says that's is what the relay is specifically designed for. It should be in later this week, Ill install it and give you an update.

Ive Notices the same thing On mine. I did the whole lube, alignment and chain adjustment with no result. Im hoping its not the the front sprocket, thats the next thing to look into. Although i haven't noticed any riding difference, I still have the same amount of power, no rattling, and no...

that would be about a 4 1/2 hour trip just to get up to you guys for a ride. But Id love to join. Ill try and see what i got planned,but if any ones is around the VA Beach/Hampton roads area, i have a group and we know some of the really good back roads with a bunch of twisties. If any one is...

I dont know if any one is having trouble finding the right resistors to keep the blinker speed the same and not at an epileptic speed But I found this relay and its suppose to slow it down to OEM speed. Or close at least. Ju Just a heads up for everyone trying to do this mod and not wanting to...

Im so glad this thread was brough back Ive been wanting to do this and couldnt't find the thread. Im totally steeling the idea and putting it together tonight. Thanks

Im a big fan of soap and water and a bucket. I just used it today on my bike and car. (both black) After wards i Hit it with the black magic turtle wax. that stuff does wonders, and it is way easier than waxing the car. Alot less surface area.

I bought my bike used (and you could definatly tell the tires weren't brand new) and still got about 6500 miles of riding on top of whatever was already put on them. my riding is a little more aggressive than just back and forth to work, but the stock tires. arent to bad for longevity.

If your having alot of trouble with the friction piont on the clutch. One good way to learn that the MSF courses will teach you when you get there. but nothing wrong with a little more practice. If you get on the bike and start it up, and throw it in first, and just slowly let out the clutch...
