Mid ohio usually puts one out anyway I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty cheap. The guy we bought the timers from said in all the years racing/doing track days, he has never needed a beacon.

Mine was pretty rough also. 900 miles in the last eight years. Been sitting too much. Stripped it and soaked it overnight in Pine-Sol and it's good as new. hopefully putting it back together tonight and with fatter jets and adjustable needle from the dynojet kit. I neednone one of those extended mix screws. Edited February 14, 2018 by max power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer_kaw Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Valve adjustment complete and throttle bodies synced. Also cleaned out the cooling system and topped it off with fresh coolant. Got my new radiator guard installed, drained the oil and called it a day. The whole valve adjustment wasn’t nearly as difficult as some make it out to be just take time. Lots of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodehard Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Got the mccruise cruise control wire harness routed/connected, mounted the super awesome cruise control buttons at the left grip, while taking pics of the install. Only had an hour available for shop time tonight so had to call it quits. Still need to finish up the wire routing/zip tie process, plug in the cruise computer, then do the pretty simple sounding setup/calibration process. Hope to get a test ride in this weekend!

Still rocking the stock lines on my 08. Yep. Linked &ABS. Thinking yours is a 5 line kit. 2012 model is a combination of hard lines and soft. Masters to ABS pump then ABS pump back out to the calipers. 5 of my lines are under the fuel tank. Clutch line is part of the kits as well. Definitely gonna know my way around this thing before winters over. Trying to talk myself into traxxion dynamics suspension.

Rodehard Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 A few hours spent routing wire harness for the cruise. This isn't a technically challenging job, but making the install look factory takes time. This bike has such little space under the seat, tough to find the best route for the harnessm and still be able to reinstall the battery cover and seat. And, since this is really a prototype kit there are no instructions for harness routing, so I'm taking my time, and snapping pics every step. But, progress being made... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put new pads on the Duc from @RidersDiscount and changed the brake fluid on the Daytona while I was at it. Pads were ok on it for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EOdesmo Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Finally got around to valve adjustment, plugs, oil/filter, fuel filter change, general clean up... going to drop the forks, flush/change fluid. new tires and that should do it. Just need the weather to start co-operating... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Started it this morning, was going to ride to work. Then realized I had 0 psi in both front and rear. Super pissed, I should've just called off because now I'm at work, and all I'm thinking about is scheming to run back to my house at lunch to grab it.

The Connie does not like the garage. (And it has bags to carry motorcycle parts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
