zx3vfr Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Pretty sure I need a new rear tire or both probably. Factory 016s don't seem to be as well made as the countless replacements I've put on every bike I've owned. Also pretty sure front brakes need bled or stainless lines or different pads. I'm not quite sure but it's squishy AF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a 275 mile break in ride out to Marietta for lunch and hit a few roads. Had to stay at or below 4k rpm so was shifting like a mad man up and down the G/B. 78E-377S-555S-676E, Lunch at the Marietta Brewing Co. 26N-&8E-536 S&N-78W-Home. Great day, lite traffic and bike’s suspension set up was spot on. Just need a few more miles to free the motor up a bit. 536 is a hoot! New bike? Sell something or adding to the stable? Keeping under 4k sucks, but what do you think so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yesterday, Mrs. Wahoo and I rode ours to the top of Pikes Peak. Reached the summit around 8:45 a.m. Damn it was cold. 36 with a wind chill of 26. Currrently on the road heading home after playing around in Colorado since 7/18. In addition to Pikes Peak and Trail Ridge Road, I think we hit 9 or 10 other mountain passes over 10,000 feet between RMNP, Breckenridge, Montrose, Durango and Colorado Spings. 550 (Million Dollar Highway) between Ouray and Silverton was a hoot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Put my new Cee Baileys windscreen on the Fizzer. Really like it, not perfect on the freeway but damn good. Wind is off my chest and neck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilD'oh! Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Put 640 kilometers on the Urinal today and am more tired than a 1000 mile day on the FJR. I should have gone on What's ride instead of the Ural gathering, but I did run into a couple old friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Looked at them thru an open garage door from my porch roof as I put down new shingles.

Has flats on the sides of the tire. I'm thinking it's time for new rubber. Same here, got back from riding 374 in Hocking Hills and while I was pumping gas at the end of the ride, I saw the telltale ridges of the cords. Scooted back home and hooked up the battery tender while I figure out when to buy some new rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
