This is my new toy. I'm new to the forum. Ive been riding for a while. first bike was an FZR 250 that I enjoyed so much I eventually broke all the farings off. So in a way, I had a naked bike before I realised I wanted one. Anyway, now im older and wiser and have wanted one of these since the missus said I could get a bike again. (havent had a bike for about 4 years)
got the bike early this week and so far I am loving the decision I made. fuk'n sick bike to have. Has a few little mods already which is what I wanted (blue spots, staintunes) but is hasn't been ruined like some out there. I wouldn't mind removing the front fairing and replacing with a single or dual headlight, round digital speedo, and handle bar mirrors. I know its been done but I like the look, nothing to radical. And after riding it home on the freeway the wind was brutal so I figure it really cant get any worse by removing the fairing entirely. After that Ill see how I'm feeling and see if there's anything else I want to do and go from there.
I had a few questions though. if your a little careless and drop the clutch to fast taking off, it makes a horrible whirring noise. I've tried to get some kind of info off the forum and internets but so far came up with nothing.
Also it really hates being any lower then 2000rpm, if you try take off with any lower then that forget about it. Your in shudder city. from looking at the forums it seems like this is pretty common, I was just wondering if theres and easy fix?
Lastly the staintunes have no baffles, I think it sounds fuk'n awesome but was just wondering how that will effect performance.
Anyway, looking forward to contributing and having a chat in the future. Sick bike and best decision I made to get back on two wheels using a TRX!
