Congrats doc. I am itching to throw my st around some curves soon as the weather breaks. Got to keeps us posted about the comparative handing differences between you past bikes.

I downloaded tune ecu and am waiting for the cable. I have no fault codes but i can feel a light throttle cruising miss. I cant blame the valves seeing that they are spot on. I and going to try and see what my fuel trims are soon as possible

Thank you much sir.

So manuallib.com only has a service manual up to 99 1050 st with shim over buckets and the specs are .10-.15 intake and .15-.20 for the exhaust. Are the 2006 under bucket specs the same?

Checked the plugs and yes they are irridiums and looked to be fresh. Gap was at .8mm reset to .7mm per the service manual.

I was able to spin it around for a few laps yesterday and am starting to get a better feel for a triple. I did notice while at cruising throttle and light accel it had what felt like a ramdon ignition miss. After some conversion with helmut he suggested checking the valve adjustment. So on i went with the checking of the valves. Specs for the intake are .10-.15 and exhaust are .15-.20. The smallest measurement on the intake was .20 and .22 being the largest. The exhaust was .27 and .33. So its safe to say and valve adjustment is in my future. Is there Anywhere local to get shims?

Was told my helmut to ping @vf1000ride about setting up the forks. Found I can get a set of springs with a 1.0 kg I believe that's how there rated for about 130$. If I am removing that same spring to change the fluid anyway might as well get them with the fluid change.

Ok fellas' I am reading up on how to change the fork oil in my sprint. This will be my first attempt but I am fairly confident I can pull it off. Only thing that is concerning is when I am adding the oil. The book states that I need to use a syringe in put the oil back in the tube through the top. Question is can I just measure and pour it in?

I tried to go to the site. But i found a currency exchange and a sargent cycle site for seats.

I was able to buzz it around a few last week. I wouldnt mind the front end to be a little more firm. Any triump guys have any tricks of the euro trade to help me out?

I wicked it up a little sunday afternoon. I likey the way it felt. And thank you fellas

Sooooooo your telling me i might need a battery?. Lol

So this past weekend i traded my beautiful started to be a pita to ride gixxer for a purtty 06 sprint st. Defiantly looking forward to logging many more comfortable miles.

Ok so its no big secret that the southwest part of ohio is deffently lacking with the twistes. So i set out to find something to suit my needs without having to treck across the state or going to ky. So here was my route 41 south from springfield to 73. 73 to 772 772 to 124. Now at this point when your on 124 you can loop it back to sinking springs witch is about 5-10 miles north of 73. I was pressed for time so i decided to take lapperell road off of 124 back to Bainbridge. Roads were all clear clean and very light traffic with new pavment. Deffently worth a look.

I should add the 3m tape was for automotive trim and i had to use 3 pieces that were 1/2 inch wide each. I had coverage over the entire piece but with the weight and wind i know it wont hold.

I removed the mounting puck for my sony action cam from my old helmet to my new one. I knew the old sticky stuff wouldn't work so i tried to use 3m adhesive double sided strips. That didnt really work so well. Andbody have any luck swapping pucks from bike to bike and know what to use?

Who or what is this (ABATE) you speak of ? I have never heard of it/them
