oldschoolsdime92 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Well, Last season I bought a wr250x super moto to mess around with. Well the messing has turned into a full blown fun toy. This things a riot. No, its not a 450 converted MX bike, but its reliable as a rock, and the maintenance is far and few in between. So heres what we have gotten done thus far. Hdb hand guards with mirrors45t rear sprocket, DID chainProtaper yz high barsFlatlander racing skid plateZeta billet heal guardFmf pc4 exhaustFmf programmer(may switch to pc3)Michelin pilot powersSuspension will be off to travis @http://go-race.com in a few weeks for valving and springs. this is about how far pilot powers make it in the snow... When I did the IMS tank, I opted to try to use the OEM yamaha gasket. The IMS supplied gasket was just a big O ring.. oem gasket.

smccrory Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 i'm really digging that CB! what rear shocks are you using? Thank you! TEK remote reservoir progressives. They're not the same quality as Hagons, but the price was right and they're a world better than my stockers which had absolutely no dampening left:http://www.tecbikepartsusa.com/Classic_Japanese_Motorcycle_Shocks_s/1829.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'm still working on the 850 cafe jobby. Got this ebay universal gauge today, no instructions. No wiring diagram. Not even a fucking invoice. Got out a battery charger and some jumper wires and started testing pins on the quick connectors and am confounded. Ground was easy to spot. And I found the illumination pin. There are 2 pins that power the gauge: one will cycle the lcd display and tach needle once and shut down. The other only works if there is power to illumination and will cycle the gauge on an endless loop. Rest of the pins are dummy lights except for one that does nothing. I can't find aNY info on this gauge, it's a cfmoto mf7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 dang! thats a bummer! Thats the downside to eBay stuff sometimes. I feel like I have bought something from CFMOTO at one time or another but I can't remember what. SMC- your not highjacking! thats what this thread is all about! tank looks good!

Indeed it's better tbag nothing for sure but you would sure think they would send a diagram of the pins. It didn't come with any sort of "pig tail"?

ScubaCinci Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I spent all day yesterday getting the bike all farkled up except for the skid plate which I'll install that after the 500mi service. I'm sure the dealer will tack on extra fees to remove it. Can't wait to put some miles on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
