Congrats Marthy!
What did you do to your bike today?
- Thread starter Diluted
- Start date
Just a nice little ride
My roommate and I took our bikes out for a ride up North to Newport Washington. It was about a 45 min ride there and then we had some lunch and came back. It was a cold and windy day so it was definitely good that it was short. Did about a hundred miles round trip

Washed and cleaned my baby all up today. Also cleaned and lubed the chain, and now she is ready to roll.
Juice Box Pro
I received my Two Brother's Juice Box Pro and installed it, I decided to connect it to my laptop while the bike was running and noticed when I twist to full throttle the toptune software is only showing 82% instead of 100% is this happening to anyone else? Do i need to adjust anything?

Don't you guys have the "restricted version" over there? That might be it.
Its been de-restricted though, so Im thinking I mite need to look into throttle play, Its possible that I havnt seen my 6r at full potential.
Very Curious

Well, I've been off my bike for about a month while I recovered from surgery. Yesterday I went on a nice long cruise, and today took her out and put new tired on! Michelin Pilot Roads 3!

Glad you are back out riding. I'm curious to know more about those Michelin Road 3 tires please give us an update once you have some mileage on them. I have been looking for new tires and so many opinions and choices, i must admit I am a little confused
i day dreamed about one 
So today I decided I think Im going to mod the rear subframe of my bike. Pretty sure yamaha was so stupid to make a sport touring bike and not an SS out of the fz6r.
The plan is to hack the rear and and squid it out a little, and ill probably add some front end emulators....I think itll hit hard in the corners and be super sweet. Plus Ill be able to wheelie better. Im excited...Im going to do it tonight with a case of beer and a chainsaw and some bondo. Ill have my friend take pictures though, but probably cant post em for a few weeks after its done....helps build anticipation right?

Got my stands back from someone who borrowed them. Put her on the stands, checked the oil, topped off the tires, put the suspension back just the way I like it, lubed the chain, and broke out the hair dryer and PB blaster and completely de-badged her on a whim.
I'm still cleaning off sticker residue, but I hope to get some decent pics this weekend after a wash

Disassembled all the plastics, fixed the crack in the front fairing (I hope). Changed plugs and put a few drops of oil into each cylinder for the first start in 2 years. Cleaned the engine, armor all'd all the hoses and plastics. Mounted my FZ6R front turn signals onto the Triumph without the rubber extensions. It came out slick as snot and cost nothing. I still have the rear signals in case I need them too. The originals fell apart and after 3 attempt to repair them I gave up. Used replacement ones are next to impossible to find and OEM signals are $140.00 each...The Yamaha signals look fine on the rear. Cleaned the air box, cleaned the throttle bodies and the butterfly valves.
Tomorrow is electrical test and hopefully I will find the open wire and start the engine.

Today, I changed my tail light from stock to an LED.
Here is the original..
I removed the seat and removed the grab rail..
Removed the plastic lugs by pressing in the centre pin
Undone the 3 pozi screws which hold the tail light in place..
Reassembled and tested..

Today, I figured out the electrical problem that has plagued me for 6 months and I started my bike for the first time and it sounded perfect.
Rode it up and down the street to make sure it shifted and was pleasantly surprised it doesn't shift like an FX6R. It is like butter and first gear is even taller than a +1 up front on the FZ6R. It feels like a 1000 cc Ducati on takeoff as it has that chug of a 2 cylinder with the smoother feel of a 4 cylinder. I'm liking it.
Installed the alarm system and the new neutral sensor.
