Ha... I wish I had a super cool set of new lightweight wheels for the DX, like the forged OZ that you somehow noticed... Usually I wheel that outside to make more room while I'm working on stuff, but it was raining last night... 2006 Speed Triple, some mods... I've had it since new, but seem to ride it less and less (except right now). I still enjoy adding/changing something here and there, though!

nonsense so far:

1. i can hear that i need to adjust the push rods to silence the valve train.


that's fine because

2. i seem to have a rouge exhaust push rod seal on the front head spraying oil.




3. engine temp sensor is throwing high/open codes but, to be honest/fair, it started randomly doing that about two weeks ago and causing surges in idle. i'll pick up a new sensor. easy fix... i think... -$38

Red face

seal fixed on 3th heat cycle, i went out and reseated the pushrod cover with the seal resting on the top of the cover and let it seat itself vs putting it in the head and then pushing the cover into it. no drips or spray after 4 minutes. good

also changed the displacement on the old 103 tune to 110 and increased the global fuel by 10% bike sounds different than it did in the video above. will post another from the 4th heat cycle soon. violent and deep sound. i love it!

final heat cycle. you can hear the difference in the sound of the engine after changing tune displacement to 110 and the global 10% fuel increase.


before guns get drawn over revving during heat cycles.... i'm just following orders:



now off to get in the 50 miles and then do the oil change. going to be hard to keep it conservative but, i don't want to have to do this again.

So, just wondering... Shouldn't you have flashed your displacement
and global increase changes before you started it for the first time ?

thanks,
