  1. Oh man, this would be perfect, except for the $600 tag..
  2. I would accept it as valve train noise, but the clanks are accompanied by stuttery jerks. And I'm not always experiencing this.i usually start with throttle, anywhere from 4 -6 k rpm and it's just fine. But down low when I'm trying not to be loud, I think it just isn't puttingout torque, so it sputters. Idk. I'm asking lol.
  3. looks nice, only it's blue.
  4. 1000~~ish. like i'm letting the clutch out, and barely throttling, so as to keep it running, start rolling, but stay quiet. after asking around, i think it may be that the valves are out of whack, and smacking. bad. the guy i bought it from definitely seemed to have beat the shit out of it. haven't gotten around to checking shit like i should have. shame on me.
  5. they taught all their neighbors how to steal money too!
  6. shame on you... a good bottom makes or breaks a woman.
  7. reason number 288 why i want to leave the states.
  8. blacking out would mean concussion, right? hope he's ok.
  9. it's all good. but man, especially after the trip to indy, sometimes i yearn for the comfy rideability of the ninja 650.
  10. if i had the money for first skydiving, however many times it takes to be allowed to do that... then the money for the suit... oh, and a really big life insurance policy! that would be... AWESOME!
  11. the original vid is taken down... i never saw... boo...
  12. tightened up the chain again just a lil to see, joey. it's right at 35 mm play, but that's on the kickstand. should be a little more play free hanging.
  13. it's an engine/ clutch ish area noise. recently replaced chain and sprockets, and they're within spec. well, they were before the indy trip. slightly longer now. crazy. even so, this noise is more like a 'wtf, give it gas you tard!' thing, i think.
  14. this sounds full of awesome. hope you get it, and without losing much.
  15. So, lately I've been noticing some things that I don't think I did on the 650. Such as the complete lack of torque at anything under 6k rpm... I have a yoshi exhaust, so i try to keep the revs low in the apartment late at night, but idk. It makes a grinding clanky noise when it's on the verge of stalling. Bad? Probably. The 650 would just yank you right forward when you let the clutch out slowly. I was pampered. Also, not sure what the difference in transmission is, in the very close top three gears, but I find that upshifting is sometimes a double click in those top three. I generally always clutch. When I pull up, it clicks, but after that automatically clicks up a lil more, as if it's setting into place. If I try to ease up, then I think I would get a void between gears, eh? Something like that accidentally happened while accelerating hard on the highway once. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but this bitch just seems more finicky all around...
  16. i knew i had this bookmarked somewhere. go to diymotorcycleseat.com. sooo much information. doo eet. doo eet nau!
  17. sounds kinda like a buddhist dharma... and yesh but it's just so thin on the plastics. i can scratch right through with my nail if i wanted to. same. i've gotten good at deciphering i guess.
  18. eh, i see the stupidity. but i also see the outright balls. he's probably not going to go home. and knowing that, i think he may deserve a little respect.
  19. Plus 1. Every girl I've rode likes when I'm cruising a gear or two lower than what I oughta.
  20. Yamaha just has slap on stickers. The clear on the tank kept it from fading.
  21. did it last night. the tank wasn't faded, but the plastic was.
  22. Ooohhh... It seems like I always need one more headset. this would give me five!
