Nice mileage milestone! How the heck do you have that much fuel remaining after riding almost 80 miles...? :p

As others have said...nice bike! I like the color scheme, too. Extra mirrors for safety (or maybe to be sure you can see the competition as you leave them in the dust)!

I am not too keen on the stock horns, either. I have a Denali Soundbomb compact horn that I intend to install, just haven't made the time to yet because of the necessary electrical work. Yours looks great, with the painted center. I hope each press of the horn button elicits a smile! Thanks for...

Well...that was certainly quick after the initial lull; I love it when a plan comes together!

This is what worked for me when my gen2 was slipping under hard acceleration: GuruedGear - Double Diaphragm Spring Clutch Kit

if you aren't already insane then yes, riding these monster machines might push you slightly closer to that edge. but it's a good type of insanity, not without risks and rewards, wherein you get to live more in five minutes on either of those motorcycles than a lot of people do in their entire...

Great job! Did it smell like mouse pee when you fired it up? 🤔

that right thar's a ProTip, dannymax!

If you aren't comfortable adjusting the settings yourself, which is effectively an ongoing process until everything feels "right" for your particular riding style, I'm sure they could assist with adjusting the settings at the dealership. If you're OK with the ride height it would still be far...

It looks like the rear suspension does have the preload and rebound adjustment knobs, so I'd be surprised if the front shocks didn't have the adjusters, as well. Unless you need the bike to be taller you might just be able to have the existing suspension system dialed-in to your metrics and...

If you're really itchin' to sell her, which I'm surprised you haven't already, maybe put listings in multiple places (if you haven't already). Craigslist and Cycletrader would be good places to start. Also, maybe your local Yamaha dealership would take her off your hands -- although you'd...

My Gen2 bucked like a bronco until I adjusted the various front and rear suspension settings. I'm guessing that the modifications the previous owner had done removed your ability to "dial it in" with the knobs? If you no longer have any way to adjust the settings yourself, I agree with you that...

Is your 'max Gurued, or are you planning to? Definitely worth the time and effort, just like the clutch mod you did. Did you know anything about these bikes before you picked yours up...or was it more spontaneous?

You won't be disappointed with a Gurued flash, that much is certain. My 2009 is Gurued and at right around 14k miles of fairly intense riding I haven't had a single issue, it's an absolutely rock-solid mod. If you do go this route be sure to do the cluch upgrades, too, or you'll likely start...
