    Akrapovic Midpipe and cans?

    The next thing I was going to mention was the bags.. Those will be my 2nd mod after the exhaust.

    "Rode Report" BMW S1000RR

    Lucky man.. I'm a sportbike guy, I'd KILL to test ride one of these.. I work at a Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki dealer, so I get to ride new GSXR's, CBR's and R1's, but the BMW is pretty much on an entirely different level.

    It's riding season in Arizona

    Right about now is when I'm regretting moving back to the midwest.. I've only done the Flats in a car, but I've heard it gets covered in gravel pretty badly. You MUST treat yourself and head to Tucson, go up and down Mt. Lemmon. You'll probably have to wait until spring but it's well worth the wait.

    Post up your other rides

    So damn true.. I actually just moved from Phoenix, only got to hit Yarnell and 89 a few times.. Have you been to Mt. Lemmon? IMHO, puts Yarnell/89 to shame.

    Post up your other rides

    Forum seems kinda slow, so I figured I'd try to generate some traffic. Here are my other rides... My 2002 R1. My 1984 Chevy K20

    Akrapovic Midpipe and cans?

    They look sooo good on there too. Your gen 2 is sweet! If you don't mind me asking, how much did the exhaust set you back?

    Akrapovic Midpipe and cans?

    Is anyone running them? This is the setup I plan on buying once I get the cash together, I'd just like to hear some first person reviews of the setup.

    Lithium ion battery

    We just started receiving something similar at work. They come in 2 sizes, retail for 110 and 150, have 2 year warranty's and both weigh less than 2 lbs. It's awesome. Sucks I just picked up a new lead-acid for my R1, otherwise I'd hop all over it.

    Yamaha CF pieces

    I guess I should have specified Gen 2 in the first post.. Couldn't find any over at Tyga.

    GEN2 Changing next year?

    That being said, I do have a few complaints about the Gen 2. The fuel economy SUCKS!!! The low speed and part throttle fueling is a little twitchy. Traction is an issue in the first 2 gears.

    GEN2 Changing next year?

    I've been riding a 2002 R1 for the last year, so my opinion may be slightly biased.. I rode a gen 1 (06) for the first time tuesday of last week after putting fork seals in it. It had great power and torque, felt light for what it was, and it actually turned decently. Definitely not as fast as...

    Recall for oil pump on 2010 Vmax???

    Agreed, I performed the recall on one on saturday, it really is a simple job. Just have to make sure to line all the gears back up. I've heard of people not getting the oil pump gear lined up to the gear on the back of the basket and bad stuff happening because of it.
