Re: Most recent purchase thread!
Nice... I'm just going to give you one piece of advice.
DON'T do your own oil change.. Have a professional do it.... You thought the oil change on the GSXR was expensive.

It's like the oil change incident. When the job has gotten completely screwed up, it's time to call a professional.

Re: Most recent purchase thread!
I agree, just wasn't sure he was gonna be there yet. I'm guessing he rode down to Stephenville this weekend. To work maybe today? It pissed, poured and stormed here this morning...and may not be done.

She won't ride with him! She doesn't even like him having a bike.

How I'm going to lead an intermediate is an open question mark, I'm having issues with GPS/Fuzz busting right now on this bike and I will still be in the breakin period. I will for sure exceed the 5K max revs recommendation but I will have no choice but to soften the ride up. My biggest concern right now is GPS and radar, without a GPS I can't get to the roads I want to ride easily.
It's also running standard shift pattern, I"m waiting on the GP conversion to come in from Italy, and standard shift pattern really messes with my head when I do anything other than cruising around.

will it go over 5k? The bimmer was limited to 9k from the factory until the first service and the go fast chip was installed.fixxervi6 wrote: I will for sure exceed the 5K max revs recommendation but I will have no choice but to soften the ride up.
Random stuff I say:
Women are like square roots, if they're under 17 you just have to do them in your head.
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline plane, wrapped helicly around an axis?

Re: Most recent purchase thread!
I exceeded the recommended rev limit on mine at around 110 miles on advice from the Texas Aprilia distributor (Bobby at HSBK). Its been bounced off the limiter constantly since then but I also change the oil every 200 miles (every other track day).
I used Motul until the last change when I used Repsol synthetic and shifting immediately went to hell. I'm ordering Motul synthetic online right now.
