I still have this but tomtom basically just told me that it is now a brick(for the time being). I really don't see them having a update for it. 

I've been using PJ1 Blue  label Clear for many years. I've gotten phenominal mileage out of my chains. The best was over 45k miles on the stock chain and sprockets on my TL that was a torque monster. When I changed it it was actually still in good shape I just wanted to put a gold chain on for looks. My Z has almost 20k on it and stock chain and the guy I bought it from used the PJ1 as well. Best thing about it is that it's not messy at all. 

Installed a few extra hurs-pers and a couple more torxs on the Zbomb today. This should make it hole shot, corner and brake better. 

Only battery I'll put in my machines. There isn't anything more dependable or longer lasting.

Great time, tyvm John. Pic of @2talltim and a box he made.

 

 

This is what they look like leaving my machine. Just stacks and stacks of corrugated board. They goto another machine to be cut, folded and printed.

Took it apart!

Is it getting its wrap?

Whats up with that bazooka tube dent?

Just got home thanks for the fellowship y'all. Thanks John for the grub and getting this put together. Great ride today on the way up, even the freeway on the way home was relaxing(for me, the wife hated it..lol).

Somebody's got to make the boxes..lol

Rolling here in a bit. Taking the scenic route. You all may finally see the elusive unicorn. Momma bear riding her own hog. To this point I think most of you must believe it to be a urban legend.

I plan on coming the Mrs might join me.

Just confirming my +1 is indeed coming. How many bikes we roll in on is still TBD.

My attendance is doubtful.

Lots of stuff going on Saturday. Probably have to work in the morning, really wanted to hit the dyno day in Cbus and have a wedding to attend in the evening. If i don't work i may still try to make it and skip the dyno day but will have to leave ealry to make the wedding.

@RidersDiscount Sent you a PM

I plan on coming the Mrs might join me.

Also watch what you ask for. Im sure there are plenty of ragged out i4 bikes out there for sale for less than $4k. I think i understand what you want. You want the best bang for your buck but some people will play you with that vauge WTB description knowing your willing to drop a set amount.

Deals are harder to find early in the season but I picked up my 2010 Z1000 mid last season for that price. You usually have to be willing to travel to find them though. I picked it up in Flint michigan. saved me about $1000 for a 8 hour round trip drive.

Pretty sure that line is the Power (left hand numbers) while the lower line is torque. 

Still looks a little shy of 108

Good eye, you are right. Suxs2BeTim.

Yup still shy but not much. Maybe 106-107 more than makes up for it in girth. No complaints out of 11 year old technology.

Oh my, it appears both of us have more torque than your Connie.

But since you brought it up.

You forget mine has been flashed also. Something for your viewing pleasure. He doesn't advertise peak toque but you can follow the little red line. 😜

I didn't submit my dick for measurement. With mine it's how i use it not its size.

The Whale has built in respect. That transfered to the new owner. Wing needs to be proven.

I will be piloting a more powerful bike with a more powerful stereo blasting Wu Tang. I do it for the children.

Think he'll have more torques. 

And yes looked it up. Stock numbers are about equal but Great White Turdasaurus Flex has been flashed.

$50 to do that at this place.  I thought that was real reasonable. 

I know independent motorsports is having a dyno day next weekend. I wanted to attend that  but there is 3 other things going on that day that want to do too. Need to decide.

After the rebuild, and after I put all the stuff back on, I wanted to make sure the Daytona was still good to go.  Had a great time at The Dyno Shop last night, nothing blew up that wasn't supposed to.  Going to be a great season.  110.8 whp and 46 ft/lbs.

 

I need to do this to the Z. Need to find out if it has stock tune or has already been flashed. If its putting up anything over 130 at the wheel it has a flash I figure.  Also need to see where the AF is.

Unfortunately 520 and 206 ( which I ride frequently ) are scheduled for chip and seal in June. A buddy of mine stopped and talked with the state crew last week...His wife works for ODOT and confirmed that.

Thats what i was afriad of when i seen all the loose gravel signs. 😫

Welcome back bubby! I missed you(smooches!)  Lets see the new ride. I've got a open bunk for the gap in June.

Feel free to post your 2019 rides, pictures and route reports here. I'll pin this thread.

Got out today after work for a little 100 mile jog with the big girl.  Did some north east knox, western Holmes and southern Ashland county. 205 was smooth as glass a couple dirty corners. 62 was the usual heavy traffic and decent. Looks like 206 and 520 are getting resufaced very soon. The signs are up and a paver sitting near by. BUT there are lots of loose gravel signs, hope thats not a bad sign. They are currently doing prepaving patching on 520. 514 is decent on the northern end but beautifully seasoned fresh pavement on knox county. Wally Rd. is gloriously paved and beautiful in knox county, little ruff aross the county line and the northern part that they tar and chipped last year is cleaned up now and decent. 97 between butler and rt 3 is closed for a bridge i think. All the roads in and around Mohican St park are super covered in peagravel, heed much caution there. Thats about it. I took shity county roads around the closure on 97 and got back home. Heres a few pics of my wanderings.
