Here are some things I have done to make my z a little more comfortable for longer trips. Also race tech springs F & R. Z1K Touring by

Suzuki dl650 v-strom

Old Bubby, You are old and broken and I personally care for you and want you to be happy. I think you should just look for a well sorted gold wing. I will still ride with you as long as I don't have to stare at a stuffed animal on your top box. Just think, Your wife may even start riding with you on nice Wing with passenger arm rest. Try thinking of your passenger or should I say Co-Rider in Wing speak. Plus a trailer could carry all the cases of Old Milwaukee you need for a weekend.😁 I will buy you your first vest so you can start sewing patches on it before next years "Wing Ding Event"

Today, 0730 take off. Did a breakfast street ride to Union Street Diner in Athens. 328-56-Diner-56-691-78-216-93-Home just before 10am. I beat the HEAT. I love the breakfast and coffee at this place. Z

if you need a wing man down there let me know. I can observe and log you re-hab for you on my Z

Great Event this weekend. https://www.wailinwayneweekend.com/

I just missed you. Got to the Exon gas station with my Micky-D's coffee at 0930, topped off fuel. Split at 10:05. there was a Harley rider parked at the station.

Rick, this is the info I got for the ride. Wellston, Ohio may be a bit far for you and it's a WV ride route. Exxon just north of the intersection of 32 and 327. Let's shoot for 10:00.

BOB, Next time. Get Well😎

Bob, Weather looks good as of now 30% chance of boomers after 14:00. I can meet you in Hillsboro in the morning. Options: 1. You tell me what time your ride starts and from where and I will be there 2. I ride early and have breakfast at Big Momma's cafe, (4.7 stars) located on main street around 08:30. Ride at 09:00-0930 3. Eat at home and arrive at the Marathon on main street at 09:00-09:30 or 10:00 hrs. Ready to ride. I am flexible on all matters. Mac Look for a old fat guy on a Green Z1K

Looks like you are setting up for the standard O.R. track day street epic route. I am a little burnt out on that route. it wont be epic If I ride it all summer. I need fresher asphalt and scenery. I fall asleep easy. Have fun and speed safe.

What did you have in mind, I am also looking at riding south the Maysville ride. Weather should be good.

Bob, Nice selection of roads. You are 1.5hrs from me and Maysville is 2.5 What day and what time to depart Maysville. I can be down there ready to go by 9:30ish. Must check weather

It's my understanding that 2013 Z1K in the USA should not have O2 sensor installed in the Exhaust. You have a full aftermarket exhaust system so removal of the exhaust servo valve system can be fooled with a servo buddy/Exhaust Servo Eliminator (ESE) or reprogrammed in the re-flash. If for instance this bike's original owner just installed a full exhaust and a ESE I would think it would not run well throughout the power band unless it had a PCV and or re flash. I also have an air box mod with block off plates installed and a different air filter. I have mapped my PCV for more mid-range since I am old and don't do much high rpm work or banging the rev limiter for attention in traffic. I guess you will have to take a close look at the bike and see what was done and go from there. Good luck and enjoy the ZZZZZZ. PM me if I can be of any help or provide you with any information. I have a service manual also for numbers and tech shit. B. http://www.ivansperformanceproducts.com/2010z1000.htm https://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/

Very nice bike. FYI: Ivan has a new re-flash for this bike without the need for a PCV now. I have the Ivan flash and a PCV, Love it.

Calling J-Hawk, Jacob please pick up line one, It's the sales department. Your order is in😀

Another great day for a spin. Wife and I left H.H back roads to Glouster, Amesville. then 329-144 to Hocking port. Then over to Little Hocking, check out two Houses for sale and a plot of land. Made our way back to Athens, stopped for Coffee around 3pm, (it's a old person thing) decided that we should ride to McConnelsville for dinner. Of course 690 to 550-377- to the Boondocks BBQ & Grill,(Note: Great Food) on the river for Chow and back home to the Hock on 78-216-93. Bunch of great miles. Got home , Made a fire outside and put down a few cold beers. 1

EDIT: FIXED I removed ABBA's "Dancing Queen" and "Take a Chance on Me" music. Should be good to go.

No problems today. Had a great ride today. Started at Rockbridge and made my way east thru Shawnee, Corning, Bur Oaks, Crossed 78 headed down to Sharpsburg at 550/377. Decided to swing back home on asphalt, 550,329,78,216 and 93 Home. 148.0 miles. 42.0 Mph moving avg. 3:31 Moving Time. Short, Fast, Morning ride. https://youtu.be/bDmUOGSIiTg Had a great short morning ADV ride today.

Your Dog Looks constipated. To much cheese. What's His/Her name.

I may be wrong but I think they meet at the Marathon Gas Station : 383 W Riverside Dr, McConnelsville, OH 43756 or across the street at the rest area along the river. I am not going to make this so enjoy and have fun. i am going to take advantage of the recent rains we have had and enjoy some dust free Adventure riding with full gear on. B.

Lower Insurance rates mean more weed to be consumed and may I have one more Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet, and Ice. Can I check and see if the Venti cup will fit my New 650 V-Strom cup holder. Thank Yoooooooo.....

Well done..😣

Looking now, Ready to move. Observing the river while relaxing with a drink on my lawn is something I could get use to. Also have some part time work stuff in the Marietta/Parkersburg area in line. Weather looks great for Sunday!

I may be up for this. Must check weather. I was down your way looking at a house for sale in Little Hocking. Then made our way to Belpre, Marietta, 26 then over to Beverly, McConnelsville......HH. All done in a cage with the wife. It takes so much longer in a car.
