Then I couldn't ride it because I was grounded.

coondog · March 9th, 2011, 08:06 AM

cleaned radiator air intake cap, changed earl and put racing earl filter on, replaced non oem air filter as well, and repacked non oem cans. Buddy went over non oem carbs which cost me. got timers at the beeline tonight at 1/4 and 1 mile stands. my little girl has great gag reflex but i'm gauranteeing she gets all that air she's dying for when she runs upto/over three figures.

Congrats. Best bike upgrades are to rider knowledge.

wayanlam · March 10th, 2011, 01:51 AM

installed the2wheel brake+clutch levers that arrived in the post this morning.

only time will tell if this was $70 well spent. i always have the oem levers to fall back to if they somehow don't last for ever and ever, lol

choneofakind · March 10th, 2011, 05:26 AM

Installed BT45s and and a newgen rear shock. Pumped to ride

want1sobad · March 10th, 2011, 06:46 AM

about to turn 22k so I:

1. changed oil and filter
2. new plugs
3. replaced chain (with a gold one - looks sweet)
4. replaced sprockets (front and rear as not to ruin the new chain)

slolane · March 10th, 2011, 04:49 PM

Did a couple of things to my 250...

Mounted my GPS:

Got new tires and mounted em:

Got new stuff for wifes 250...
12v Powerlet:

No-cut brake modulator:

SW MT Mirror Wideners:

Rear spools:

Time to get to work on the wifes bike now.

kkim · March 10th, 2011, 04:52 PM

James,

Please share your impressions of the mods you've done once you've had some time and miles with them. Nice choices.

jmgrande · March 10th, 2011, 04:58 PM

Ordered her a R&G Tidy Tail Kit and OEM Cowl

Thanks so much.

The GPS is new on the bike so once I figure it out I will post up, it's a waterproof one (up to like 3') so it should be great for the bike and wasn't expensive like motorcycle ones. Has some easy push buttons so may be able to operate with gloves... I usually pull over before messing with it anyway.

The tires are new, and the sizes are new new to me 110/150, before I had stock size but after some research on here I went with the wider rear and both front and rear in matching radials. Time will tell so I will post back on these too.

I have the following mods on my 250 already since last year, these are for the wifes 250...

Real spools - I like Shogun stuff, very sturdy and easy to get on the stands... just ordered my own stands, was using a friends prior.

12 volt Powerlet - Nice complete package with weather proof cover, wiring, fuse. I flush mounted mine on the right inner fairing, not sure where she wants hers yet.

Rear brake modulator - easy plug-in unit to help warn other drivers. My riding group says it really stands out when I hit the brakes.

Mirror wideners - easy way to extend the stock mirrors, allows me to see around my elbows, I didn't want to have to move around or tuck my arms in to see... could be vital seconds wasted.

James, I think we are working on very similar mods, down to the brands. My next purchase likely to be the Powerlet and GPS mount. Also, I'd love to hear your impressions of the BT-016s once you ride with them, particularly what you think about lean in effort and general rideability with the 150.

Installed the brake modulator:

Installed the mirror wideners:

Torn the bike down:

Shimmed the needles:

Got it back together for a test ride tomorrow:

Wasn't bad but I really hope it's good to go on 1st try as having the carbs apart and the fragile gasket wasn't something I want to keep messing with.

Yes, currently stock. We put 2 on each needle.

I'm trying to fish out of her what pipe she likes so I can surprise her with one, prob a slip-on.

I heard 1-2 stock.

I really like the matching levers and brake lines. Your bike looks great!!

2 sounds about right, try it out and see.

see if she likes what you have on your bike and if she does, move it over to her bike then get in on the Area P race pipe GB going on.

I will let you know how it works out, thanks again for all the help.

Yeh, maybe swap some parts over... I really like my setup though. We'll see.

make sure you swap only if your wife really likes the exhaust and is not trading only because you want to. happy wife, happy home.

Oh yeh, agreed.

slolane · March 11th, 2011, 10:45 AM

Removed the washers from our 2011... it bogged out under 6k. Went from 2 washers to 1 with a similar result, bogging under 5k. It's back to stock now and running well I'm just going to remove the rear 42 tooth sprocket as it doesn't pull as strong as my 2008 (pipped and jetted) with the 15/42 setup. So the 2008 will stay with 15/42 and the 2011 with 15/45.

kkim · March 11th, 2011, 10:51 AM

what size washers did you use.?

3mm according to the bins at the local hardware store

slolane · March 11th, 2011, 03:58 PM

Today...

Installed 12 volt outlet:

Installed air horn:

Installed tinted windscreen:

Installed frame sliders:

Notching the cover wasn't fun, with the right tools this should have taken 1 minute, with a 20 year old hack saw it took 15:

All done...

Yes, maybe a little thicker (per washer) but the diameter looks similar.

kkim · March 11th, 2011, 07:58 PM

hmmm... that's odd. perhaps that bike is set up correct from the factory (mixture screw setting wise) and adding washers makes it too rich?

slolane · March 11th, 2011, 08:57 PM

Yeh maybe so.

"A" · March 14th, 2011, 02:23 PM

I removed the 2-Bros. slip-ons and installed OEM chrome mufflers..

Before:

After:

Much quieter ride now. 2-Bros. did allow the engine to rev up much quicker, also loose much of the back pressure in the exhaust system. Happier neighbors for sure.

caps · March 14th, 2011, 02:34 PM

Reflective rim tape, and added leds to my hidden license plate
