A lot of slip ons don't use a gasket if you have any leaks just go get some permatex ultra copper rtv and take slip on off and apply thin coat to inside of mid pipe and to header. Do you have any other mods on this bike?

Do you have a power commander installed?

Congrats

IDK I got a little over 9k out of my diablo stradas with a lot 1/4 mile passes However I don't hit the curves as hard as a lot of you do

These are my next tires guys on zx14 site I'm on have got over 10,000 miles out of a rear.

I've had several people say "zx14 what size is that 600?" Last summer passed a couple guys on 600's they were pulling out of sheetz I get to the next stop light and hear bikes revving and look in the mirror they are weaving through the cars to get up next to me the one finally got next to me and I lift my visor and look over at him and he says "Oh fuck that dude I thought you were riding a 600" then yells to his buddy "forget it" guess he didn't wanna race after seeing what it was I was riding. Had a guy in a Ferrari pull next me at a light revving his motor I looked over he gave me a nod the light turned green and he hammered it I don't know who he was racing cuz I had two cars in front of me at the light.

If you got 4000 miles out of the stock tires you did good. If you want to get high mileage you will need to look at some of the sport touring tires like these ones http://www.compacc.com/Tires-Sport-Touring personally I would order some tires front and rear you can buy a set for close to what they are charging you for the rear and then hook up with Hoblick on here he will mount them for you and not rip you off. As far as what tires to get that's all a matter of preference I'm running the Pirelli Angel ST and have about 7,000 miles on them so far and several miles to go the pirelli diablo strada is another real high mileage tire I got a tad over 9,000 miles out of a set. I can not comment on the Michelins have not used them.

Welcome

For your sake I hope that the emt or fire fighter that may someday have to save your life does not frequent this forum and see you bashing his brothers... the emts and fire fighters in this country deserve the utmost respect they put their lives on the line to save people every second of everyday.... they shouldn't have to stop and think about the outcome of their actions or worry if they will be sued those precious seconds could mean life or death

Jumping in your backyard pool to save a friend is nothing compared to open water. I was a life guard for 6 years and pulled several people out of pools and two people out of Lake Erie. Then one year in March me and some friends were stupidly walking along the edge of Conneaut Creek shortly after thaw and my best friend fell in and was instantly in trouble from the current and cold water without even thinking I was in the water after him and even with all the adrenalin pumping dragging him to the shore was the hardest thing the water was so cold it took your breath away and your body doesn't want to move. Now had this friend jumped in to kill himself I would've done the same thing if it was an unknown person that fell in I would've done the same thing if it was some unknown person trying to kill themselves not a chance in hell I'd jump in.

I've had good luck with these tires from pepboys on my explorers

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Officials in the town of Alameda, California, are revising rescue procedures after the suicide of a man who waded into the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay and succumbed to hypothermia as firefighters and police watched from shore. The tragedy unfolded Monday when emergency personnel were called to a public beach in Alameda, a small East Bay island city near Oakland, where bystanders reported a man had walked into the water up to his neck about 200 yards from shore. Efforts to coax him back proved fruitless, and the U.S. Coast Guard was called to assist. But without a rescue vessel immediately available, no attempt was made to reach the man until after he appeared to lose consciousness and was seen floating face down, police said. By then, nearly 45 minutes had elapsed from the time authorities first arrived, said Lieutenant Sean Lynch, investigations commander for the Alameda Police Department. Minutes later, as the surf pushed the man's body closer to shore, a civilian onlooker finally swam out on her own and pulled the man back to the beach, where emergency personnel tried in vain to resuscitate him, Lynch told Reuters. Shallow waters prevented a Coast Guard rescue boat from getting close enough to help, and a Coast Guard helicopter called to the scene arrived too late, according to spokesman Marcus Brown said. "Every reasonable effort was being made to save this individual," Lynch said, insisting there was little else emergency personnel could do without risking their own lives. The temperature of the water was 54 degrees Fahrenheit. "When you're dealing with a suicidal person, they clearly have shown no regard for their own life or safety," Lynch said. "This is a 300-pound man who is not responding to communication attempts, going farther out into the water. All he has to do is bear-hug an individual and take them down with him. It turned out that the victim, identified by the Coast Guard as Raymond Zack, 53, had tried taking his own life once before by drowning, Lynch said. On Monday, Zack had told a surfer who paddled out to him, "Go away, leave me alone." "This is no different from a person going out to the ledge of a building or the tracks of a train," Lynch said. As it happened, he was "using the hypothermic qualities of the water to commit suicide." Lynch said the police department would conduct "a critical analysis" of the incident to "see if there are things we did wrong or right, with an eye on improvement." Deputy Fire Chief Daren Olson said another factor was a city policy barring the fire department from attempting to save someone from shore since its water-rescue program was ended some 18 months ago for "various reasons." "We were unable to maintain the training our rescue swimmers needed to make a rescue in the water," he told Reuters. He said after Monday's tragedy, "We've revised our policy to train our rescue swimmers" and to give on-scene commanders the discretion to order a water rescue if needed. Mayor Marie Gilmore also weighed in, telling National Public Radio that necessary policy changes would be made. "We can't go back and change what happened. We can't defend what happened," she said. "What we can do is move forward and make sure something like this doesn't happen again."

Wow your a little late on your response to this one.... what were you sleeping??

if it's the same way my friends was the leather is hard and slick as hell easiest would be to recover

I would love to get into track days but not in the budget right now maybe in a year or two

much cheaper way to go

I've heard going to a 55 or 60 series tire instead of 50 will make it turn in faster... but for the money you would spend on the busa and upgrades to suspension why not choose a better track bike

Ok I think I still have your number

I agree

my friend had a corbin on his t595 and it was slick as oil never did get better
