howdy!

and yay! another fellow horned frog! i need all the support i can get this year ;) i myself graduated in '06, and am currently at Tarleton working on my Masters in Special Ed. What are you in for? and Thanks for all you did for all those long years. You'll have to meet up with LeatherNeck and co2 two other members who did service.

Hope you have a great time if you make it out tonight. If not, there's a track day at MSR-C (Cresson) if you want to stop by and check it out. I'll be out there with my boyfriend as he'll be riding Saturday and we'll be working corners that Sunday, and I plan to bring another newbie to the group as well, so you won't be alone.

Enjoy the rest of your week and your weekend.

I took off the tops of the fork screws. I thought I had too tto get the triple tree off. Aparently I didn't have to do that. Now people are saying I need to get my forks fixed or adjisted. All I need to get my bike going at this point is a left side handle clamp. The one that tightens around the fork and has a alan screw that holds the left bar. So now it will be longer until I can ride

WOw, everyone has been awesome!! I got a handle already and know what to do once my ignition comes off so I dont have to pay a lock smith extra cash!!!!!!!!!!! thanx everyone!!

My last project is to take apart my ignition from the triple tree so I can get it off. For some reason I dont have regular screws or nuts. Anyone with experience on ignition disassembly? I am not sure what kind of tool I need to loosen up the 2003 ninja zx9 ignition but if someone could tell me that I would be set!!

most have tamper proof bolts holding them in from the under side

Yes, it is a tamper proof bolt or nut. the problem I face is that I dont know how to undo them because of that reason.. lol. When I do this, I will be able to get my ignition off!
