New rear shock on, airbox mod done. Waiting on new Racetech springs that should arrive tomorrow. Need new tires, need to put number plate on and grab a new seat that isn't missing chunks. Pretty pumped for F3 this coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Ordered a set of magazi mirrors and a saddelman seat for the gsxs1000f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) New rotors in the mail. That wraps up my list of winter service essentials. Time to crack her open and rework what those guido hacks call a finished motorcycle. Edited January 1, 2019 by Pauly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBBaron Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have a dirt bike now 😁 At least sort of Picked up a set of used dirt wheels with nearly new sprocket and rotors. Spooned on some new D606s and took her out to the farm for some fun in the mud. The 21/18 knobbies are definitely much better offroad than trying to run knobbies on the stock 17s. The wheels included a chain sized to fit the larger sprocket so now I can swap between dirt and pave setup with minimal hassle. The sumo setup is still alot more fun on pavement.:D Also just got a 4gal tank delivered. That should be the last thing I need to make a good TAT vehicle. Hopefully next fall! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Shopping for a dark smoke aftermarket windscreen, not having much luck, most reputable dealers are out of stock and I'm not gonna put a $30 abs Ebay part on that bike. Maybe next month the good shit will be restocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacobhawkins Posted January 3, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I took it back apart. Full exhaust, PCV, Ignition module, block off plates, filter, rearsets. Case covers on tonight and button it up for the trip up to the tuner. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine did the first half of the TAT last year. This fall I joined him for MABDR and realized 17" wheels were not ideal off-road and I needed a better range. So that motivated me to get the new tank and spare wheelset, though I had been planning to do so for a while. Like the DR650 the DRZ400 is just way too easy to farkle. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still very green off-road, but I did do the IDBDR last year..only crashed once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still very green off-road, but I did do the IDBDR last year..only crashed once! That describes me and the MABDR exactly. The MABDR is scenic with easy gravel and rural pavement roads. Probably >50% pavement. There are 2 short challenge sections that were not a problem on the DRZ with 17" Shinko 244s. My friends on GSAs had more of a challenge but only 1 minor off. Some of the gravel, especially in the north half was really fast. Plenty of nice camp grounds in the national and state forests and parks. It was fun and a good shake down for my camping and packing. The hundred mile range on the DRZ was sufficient, though I did have plan a few short detours for gas and never pass one marked on the tracks. From what I have read the western BDRs are much more challenging. The nice thing is both the start and end of the MABDR is within a days ride of Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hoses installed. Fuel tank removed and heading to the radiator shop to be sealed. New rotors have no threaded hopes for the tone ring. Might have to modify the new rotors by hand. (Yes.. I am that good.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pauly Posted January 4, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Skidmark. I mostly paid so Isaac could get a tatse. I am hoping he catches the bug. We tore into the Duc today and had a good time. He likes it up there and even started scouring CL for bikes he can afford. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 10 minutes ago, Tonik said: Yes you are, yes you are. Looking at the two pairs of rotors... the carriers are way different. The stock Brembo is a "snowflake" pattern and the new rotor has more of a "wagon wheel" design. I don't know if I can land on any material to hold the tone ring. Shit.

They seem to be very high quality. Fit is top rate. The stainless clamps are pretty serious. To be honest, I am disappointed I had to buy them for a bike with 12k miles. I am not happy, but I am hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought of that, not sure if they'd be able to get it all the way to the edge tho. Idk, a guy I went to school with owns a tint shop, maybe I'll roll up there this spring.
