Yes, I can confirm it will run like crap if that hose comes undone. Your getting may be a little rich at high speeds/throttle openings. But the po probably didn't rejet for the aftermarket pipe, and it will work itself out nicely.

Well, fixed the chain that was a link too long, changed the oil on the ZX6R and the Z1000, lubed chains, etc. Tomorrow I'll dive into the front forks on the F2, and sometime soon it'll get a new chain, then it'll be drat near ready to go. Today I picked up a mirror for the F2, sprocket cover for the ZX6R, and...well, that's about it. Kind of a long day for not getting much done

Well, yesterday I pulled the front forks on the ZX6R. I've got pictures of everything coming apart and going back together if anyone wants to see it, it's pretty straightforward. I also did the wire mod on it, which means it pulls pretty nicely from 13k+. I also confirmed the sale on dimplebutt, although I'll have it for a little while longer until my friend comes down from canada to pick it up. And I relisted the bikes, this time on the LA craigslist, because santa barbara craigslist is a ghost town. I hate not living in a major metro area because it's such a pain in the rear end to sell bikes.

Got more interest in the bikes on CL in LA, but of course it's a bunch of dudes being jerkoffs. No, I won't take 3100$ because that's all you got and yo' car is broke. Your 02 YZ250F, despite being what I'm looking for, is not worth 3k. Installed new exhaust gaskets on the truck, I probably have some form of debilitating lung cancer now from grinding down the gaskets to fit. Stupid auto store, unable to get me the right gaskets even with measurements.  At least it fits now. Also changed the oil on the ZZR1200...maybe I should go run all of this to the disposal facility...

Sold the 636!  Made a grand total of 150$ on it...which sounds good until you realize that my friend was right. He said: Flipping bikes will make you money as long as you value your time at around 10c an hour.

If you count it as half money paid for entertainment, and half money lost for labor, you break even, and everything else is pure profit. Also, consider how the time spent on the bike keeps you from sinful activities.

I made money, I learned a bunch, had some fun, got to ride a 636, it was a good experience all around. Sold it to the most  french guy ever...he hopped a 5 hour train ride to come up and buy the bike. Which is ballsy, considering he only knew me from some craigslist posting and a couple of e-mails. He sent me a text when he got home and said the bike was great, which is the best feeling ever after selling a bike.

jdonz posted:Great find, I'm jealous. Did you sell her Kawisaki already? How much did you pick up the DRZ for? And the most important one, how many wheelies have you ripped already? Yeah, the Z1000 was sold to a nice russian dude for a song (2400$), but...we'd only paid 2600$ for it a year and 8k ago. Never did anything to it, either, just oil and gas. DRZ was 3250$, but we paid the guy another 50$ for a 36 liter locking givi case + mount. As to wheelies...well...I actually haven't had a chance to ride it much, just the test ride and down to the gas station. It's somewhere in the 10-20 range, though. Haha, stupid supermotos. NitroSpazzz posted:drat good find on the DRZ. That thing has got to be a blast with all that work done to it. It's quite fun, but it's sort of interesting... The way the bike is set up it has some serious midrange but tapers off on the top, probably because the stock exhaust is fairly restrictive and it's using the CVK40 rather than a FCR39/41. But it's quiet and it gets 50mpg, which is more important to her than absolute power. If I were racing it, it'd be getting a pipe and an FCR, but it's her bike and for street riding, stock exhaust, little less power, more midrange, and good gas mileage is where it's at. And it stops like you hit a brick wall. Full floating 320mm front rotor, 4 piston motomaster brake kit, and it stops like basically nothing else I've ever ridden. It's great. Pictures from the first ride:  Click here for the full 1536x1152 image. And it was great that I have a friend (also a goon) nice enough loan me his DRZ so I could avoid riding the ZZR up goat trails It was cold but beautiful up there.
