Four-day motorcycle overhaul: new GT6 tires, installed 2500 lb 12v winch, serviced pivot, ceramic-coated swingarm, painted center stand (wife approved), maintenance on brakes/clutch, ABS unit activation, and a spirited ride to Tacoma for GP cartridges and Penske service at KFG Motorsports. Ready for the road!
Why a winch and where the heck did you mount it?

tracks days gone.jpg

Got new cartridges installed by a good man local, he even scraped off the GP stickers. Only then I realized maybe not so street legal, but ignorance is my alibi for Mr. LEO, as usual.

The problem is that I don't have the heart to tell the bike we've both aged out of possible track days. So, the next best thing is The Box in Oregon. The cartridges settings of preload, compression, and rebound are zero'd out, or all the way counter-clockwise. And it feels like it's on rails!

I'll make incremental adjustments each ride cuz user guide says it's the only way. I weigh a buck forty, and add 40 pounds to travel, but I don't expect must differences to be made. How can it get better? Thanks for reading. 🏍️

Meanwhile my friend has 25,000 miles without an inspection

At this point we're just seeing how far it'll go.

Apparently not riding like a street Rossi goes a long way with the cops lol
