not sure what the interest is as most if not all members are in ohio, but hey if you can find a trip out there more power to you. ok as i have said in other threads, due to the technical error with the yamaha online bike contest, i have received two (2) general admission 3 day passes in hand. i will post a picture once i get my camera working, or if you really don't believe me PM me your cell and i will text you the picture. Since this race is coming up very soon, i will end the "bidding" midnight July 9th, that should give ample time to mail the package out to california or to whoever buys them in time to get them and go to the race. Also note that this is going up on multiple sites so it is the highest amount at that time gets it. Please post what you are offering on the public thread so that it will be easier for everyone, and i will do my best to keep people up to date on the current highest bid. Also please don't bash me for selling or say anything negative. Serious inquiries only obviously. Thank you for looking.

lol leaving at 7 and on the beach at 10. i love flying backwards in time

holy shnikies batman!

is that the same one you wrecked? either way it looks really good far better than any gixxer out there IMO

i like to let mine sit on the charger overnight at least once every two months.

ha! yea right dustin psh...jk any sportbike will pull on you, i remember the first time i road a sportbike and opened it up hard i almost flew off the back! yamaha FTW o and btw everyone i think im just going to be at the Dairy Mart gas station (the meeting place everytime so far) every sunday at 10-1030 from now on the rest of the summer weather permitting unless i go to NKY. whoever shows up cool im riding FYI

^yea thats what i thought, i tried it a lot on our last ride here. i felt i was pretty good but i didn't have anyone to compare too since i was the lead guy so not sure how good i was doing or not. i think the reason he went through so many pucks was because he was forcing the knee to the ground? maybe?? i know that with my kiss the mirror technique my knee's aren't as close to the ground but my corner speed has gone up noticeably and didn't realize it was a newer R6 now that i looked at it again it sure is an R6 im just used to my bike

got him nick lol someone correct me if im wrong and i am by no means an expert at this but: for example the FZ6 rider (sorry if your a member), just looks like he's moving his butt over, his head still looks centered over the bike. isn't the correct form supposed to be the entire upper body shifted over and your head trying to "kiss the mirror" looking through the turn? im sure if someone followed me i would look similar but im working on it...

pretty sweet except for the FZ6 with his blinker on the whole time! haha i really wanna get down there now...

did you see this one: best slow mo vid of all time

i dont speed on the highways anymore. too many people not looking talking on the cell in their own world. (by speed i mean doing 100+...)

"good on the streets and in the sheets, holla" you ain't good in the sheets no more pal you just shredded your weiner off haha

ride IS on. see you there

gran turismo 5 on PS3 that is all. carry on

chris weather looks a little sketchy for me. im just going to stick around these here parts and ride. don't worry i WILL make it down there soon.

well i understand why you guys are pulling out especially those coming from a little farther away. but i will still be there at 1030 nonetheless. i will still wait for around 15 minutes for anyone that decides to show up. fusion thanks for the scouting run and i looked at the weather and the rain is supposed to come in around 12-1p or so. if thats the case does anyone mind an abbreviated ride? doesn't matter for me.

indysuperbikes.com ordered it wednesday at 1230pm at my door by 11am thursday. oo and find yotaman on the board he does tire changes for cheaper than pony and they will do all the work. meaning he will take the tire off for you and whatnot since your not mechanically inclined. also you get to hang out at their "clubhouse" and check out some cool stuff at their house.

1030AM people. SAME place. nick you got everything covered thank you. now... who has the camera? and who can lead the last half? ay yi yi...

yup took it to brian and got it done in 25 minutes out the door for only 28 plus tax. so a little under 30... quality guy and work. --wilson-- i feel like you are an EXACT copy of ninja nick...weird lol

yea i dont know whats going on with the confusion. although there is a nky meet this sunday for those interested. but this thread is pertaining ONLY to dayton area, ie caesars creek and what not. WE ARE NOT GOING TO NKY THIS COMING SUNDAY THE 29TH. --although i really want to sometime. JUST NOT THIS TIME ok how bout this: MEETING PLACE-- Dairy Mart Marathon Station on Orchard and 35 in beavercreek (same place as the last ride for those who remember) MEETING TIME-- im going to say 10:30am WHERE-- to caesar's creek and around that area can someone bring a camera for pics? also can someone come who remember what we did after caesar's creek, i can only lead so far. once we get those two questions covered we will be all set! dont be floodin my thread with this nky talk foo's

haha i know that feeling... i will be there at 10-11 depending on whats better for most people no no this is just the dayton area ride. the cinci/nky ride will be later, but you can go if you want? i was just commenting on how you made fun of my softball last time and sucks you wont be able to be there! who's going to be the ring leader!? i only went halfway so i can only lead so far... who wants to step up for the last half? i dont know about "official" but i will be riding on sunday and starting between 10 and 11. i will say dairy mart/marathon gas station on 35 and orchard in beavercreek/xenia. once i get a number on how many people are ACTUALLY going this sunday i will put a more definite time on it.

shit shit i almost completely forgot! who is going the 29th? nick or joe are you guys riding again? sunday looks purty good weather wise. im probably going out the 29th no matter what if anyone wants to meet up chime in. i did halfway on tuesday and got rid of my chicken strips easy peasy haha. who wants to go the 29th? i cant go the 13th due to cousins grad party and soccer (yea soccer ninjanick whatya gonna do bout it? )

im still getting 2 tickets to the laguna race. can anyone say $$$$ --no i can't get out there, its just not possible for me-- maybe ill make enough to get some cool mods to make it a winner for the indy gp

mods: i couldn't post this in the how to section... if you could move it for me that would be great. ok guys this is my first real how to so bear with me. and if you have anything to add feel free to let me know. first off if you need to ONLY inspect your clutch plates you can just pull off the clutch cover and there will be a few drops of oil nothing that will make a mess. but im assuming that you are needing to replace your clutch if you are reading this. so you WILL need to change your oil and filter when its all said and done. also this is just a guide. i do not have torque specs or manufacturer clearance specs for the plates. make sure you get the right torque numbers from a manual. i assume no responsibility if this doesn't work. i have put in my advice and some notes i gathered as i replaced my clutch and it has worked for me. parts needed: 8 friction plates 7 pressure plates (if needed, only based on inspection) 4 quarts of oil and filter 1 clutch cover gasket my total (minus pressure plates since i didn't get them) = $160. ___________________________________________________________________________ get a clean environment set up either set down a clean towel on your garage floor or use paper sacks whatever you need. second put your friction plates in a pan of CLEAN oil before you start tearing down, you will need to soak them for anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour (even overnight i read...). if you start soaking now, you will be good by the time you need to put them in. remove lowers and right side fairing. drain your oil... loosen the bolt that holds the clutch cable taught pull the cable out of the hold its in and remove the cable from the arm off the clutch cover. remove your idle adjuster and set it out of the way. using a hex head remove the bolts holding on the clutch cover making sure to do opposite heads in a circle. for instance start at the top bolt, then move to the bottom, then back to the next bolt on top, and then the next bolt on bottom etc... my advice: i would remove the oil level check dipstick and the oil cap on top of the cover and set aside. for me it got in the way a bit and removing it made it easier and i used the oil cap hole as a finger hole. remove clutch cover, there are some spots along the right side of the cover you can get your fingers under. if that still doesn't work, you may need to use an "L" shaped allen wrench as leverage. when you take it off lay it down on a clean towel, and this is what you will see: unbolt the bolts (use a socket not a phillips) in the same fashion you did the clutch cover, start at the top, move to the bottom etc. remove the clutch cover plate. pull out all the friction and pressure plates out of the clutch basket. if you notice there will be one odd one thicker than the rest. keep note of this one as this plate will go in FIRST when you rebuild it. here is what it looks like with everything out: springs and pressure plate off with cover and pull rod: pressure plates and old friction plates: this is the time to inspect your pressure plates to make sure they are within spec. basically lay them on a flat surface to make sure they aren't warped and look at them closely to make sure they are not bluing. another view: and install is the reverse of taking it apart. now you can take those friction plates out of the pan of oil. first put on the thicker pressure plate (remember the one you were supposed to keep separate from the rest). then friction plate, pressure plate, friction plate and so on until the basket is full. the LAST piece you put on should be a friction plate. put the pull rod into the main pressure plate so that it is sticking OUT when you put it on the basket. put the springs and bolt them down to spec in the same fashion you took them off. start at top, go to bottom and move around etc. clean the old gasket off both the cover and engine case. put new gasket on. now for the HARDEST PART of the whole project. --getting the cover on-- pull the pull rod out so it is not "limp." and angle it so that the teeth are looking back and slightly up. point the clutch cable arm back (towards the back of the bike). when you mount it, you will know you got it right because you can't get it on if you do it wrong. just keep trying until you get it on. i watched an AMA tech at mid ohio do this for 20 minutes. my problem as to why it took 4-5 hours was i kept getting a dead clutch lever. no resistance at all. this was because the clutch cable arm was too far forward when i started to mount it. i would get the cover on no problem actually i just couldn't figure out why i was getting a dead lever. one way to check is you can push the cable arm up to a point where it stops. now, there is a dot on the arm and an arrow on the cover. at the point where you can't push it anymore, these need to line up. if they don't you need to redo the clutch cover and adjust the arm accordingly. when its all done you should have full lever feel. also make sure to put the clutch hand adjuster to the middle so you have room to fine tune. attach the cable and make sure you slip the cable itself back where you got it and tighten the bolt down. and dont forget to fill with oil when your done. and your all set! if i forgot anything im sorry, i got a little tired writing this long thing. ill proof read it later and if i find anything wrong or missing ill edit it.
