Some Upgrades - Page 3

Haha! That's why my garage looks terrible. I never clean it, just work and ride!

choneofakind · April 13th, 2012, 07:56 AM

That's what I would do, but it's my dad's garage, and I borrow some of his tools.

it's the whole "don't bite the hand that feeds" deal...

TnNinjaGirl · April 13th, 2012, 08:04 AM

I can assure you it's about the only joy of owning your own home.

The Fiance noticed my bike smelled funny the other day and I noticed a weird power delivery problem at high RPM. Since the bike was apart I checked to see if my carbs were in sync. Hey! Guess what? One of the slides wasn't opening up all the way. I'm not sure what the deal was. I took them apart, put them back together and she's running perfect now. Nothing looked like it was sticking or misaligned. Oh well, she runs great now.

Also, apparently my new battery pack has a bad cell. All-Battery is sending me a new cell and it will hopefully be here by my birthday! Along with my new helmet! WOO HOO!!!

choneofakind · April 15th, 2012, 07:46 AM

new helmet via battery store?

TnNinjaGirl · April 15th, 2012, 07:50 AM

Misplaced modifier.... battery cells from all-battery. Helmet from monmouthcycle.

TnNinjaGirl · April 20th, 2012, 11:41 AM

I found some awesome turnbuckles at Performance Product down the street from me. They have them in 4.5" to 10.5" adjustable. ~$45 a piece, but I can probably talk them down if someone wants a couple (know the owner).

I just saw it at Wal-Mart in the USA today. I thought it was named funny: "Aircraft Remover" makes it sound like it aids in the removal of aircrafts.

massacremasses · May 20th, 2012, 09:42 PM

where are all your new upgrades?!

TnNinjaGirl · May 21st, 2012, 12:25 PM

I've been riding my bike. Hehe. Next list of upgrades are braided stainless front lines, brake flush and I still need to finish up my rear shock. Oh ya, need headlights too. HID or LED I'm not sure yet.

Nothing like a DRZ400.... so jelly....

haha thats cool though. Its gonna be my beater bike though. Imma get a SS next probably. But ill keep the DRZ. I love the torque

choneofakind · May 21st, 2012, 05:17 PM

You'll love the SS lines. Well worth the down time from riding. Get on that already CB!!!!!

TnNinjaGirl · May 21st, 2012, 08:42 PM

I've got to stop by Harbor Freight and get a vacuum bleeder. I'm not sure why I don't already have one. I'm going to do the new lines when I do my brake flush. There is a shop in town that makes hydraulic hoses for industrial machinery. They also make a lot of OEM and aftermarket for companies. I've had them do ss lines on pretty much everything I've owned and so far they most they have charged me for a line is $13. They were all pretty short, though. I think I can get this done for $50 or less and support a local business so I'm happy. Ill report back on the cost in case anyone wants one made for their bike.

I wanted to go with DOT 5.1 but I don't want to pay $60 for a quart of it so ill stick with DOT 4. Oh, I almost forgot... I need to get new clutch and brake levers. I think I'm going to go with the ones from Cycle Gear. I happen to know someone who works there.

haha

I would think they are still more expensive than ones on ebay

TnNinjaGirl · May 22nd, 2012, 04:57 PM

Ya, they are. But... lifetime warranty? I think that's worth the extra money personally. Actually... I'm not sure CG has ones for a 250. I guess ill have to check.

massacremasses · May 23rd, 2012, 02:35 PM

Purple?

DevinWolfe · May 23rd, 2012, 02:41 PM

Spying on the competition, eh? One of the Rockets rides a Triumph triple and it sounds *amazing*!

TnNinjaGirl · May 23rd, 2012, 06:06 PM

Purple and just my size. A girl couldn't ask for anything more.

Hoping I can snag a ride on one of them one day. I think I'm in love.

Yea no joke. I love my orange but I wish they made the purple in the R. I'd buy another strictly based on color.
