Haven't rode since November, but now she is insured and roaring to go outside. Have to whole day off tomorrow!!!! 50% chance of rain, and there may lightning/thunder as well. . .it will be a good day.
A far cry from the way she looked when I rode it home 3 months ago. Today's projects included new fork seals,
Motivation fork,frame and clutch sliders and a new 520 chain and
sprocket kit with speedo DRD . I'd love to give it a test ride but the ECU is on vacation in LA this week visiting Flash Tune.
Didn't realize that it had been this long (March) since I posted a pic of my bike! Welp, she's been sitting in the garage collecting even more dust since I pulled her out of storage. Today, I pulled her out, cleaned her up and took her to the shop to be bright back to life!
"Cleaning her off!"
"Loading her up!"
"Dropping her off!"
Hopefully she'll be ready to ride before the week is up!
In for the winter and on display.
The work shop is in the next room over and in a few weeks the forks get overhauled, new chain and sprockets installed, and a thorough cleaning / inspection.

Im using Driven rear sprocket with the Marks wheels, also im using Corse Dynamics for the OEM wheels, they say the Corse Dynamics is the lightest rear sprocket in the market, but i think the Driven rear sprocket is lighter than the Corse Dynamics.!

-switched back to red pass. seat from the white one i had.
-gilles rear sets
-gilles chain adjusters (still looking for deal on the lifters if any venders see this)

Finally get a 2009 Yamaha R1 and this happens on the way home from purchasing it :cryin. This happened last week Monday. Sad part was I was almost home and had frame sliders waiting for it at home.
New here, just bought my 09 two weeks ago. Pretty much stock. It came with heated grips, and seat. I put sliders on. Plan to change the exhaust though.
