The dealer thought it was a good idea to put cheap tires on a roadster, and after driving the car for about 1500km now, i couldn't take it anymore! :banghead:
I borrowed one from work and I love it sooooo much - but I had to give it back and I can't go on a contract for another month Can't wait for mine to come - all I have to decide is black or white, already got the contract ready...
Actually no I have no intention of rooting it - I really can't see much point and i've spent way too much time hacking phones and gaining very very little.
Overclocking is equally useless as everything is designed for the standard speed CPU - nothing takes ages to work on the standard CPU, and the battery is already... overstretched at best.
Got the GSXR forks and the Penske shock mounted, still waiting on my caliper bolts. Some other little odds and ends to get done, too. Probably not going to make it to the trackday this weekend but I'm going to try.
It'll be a shame if I don't make it because it's the 1 year anniversary of my first trackday. The true anniversary will be a week later, though, when I go to the track I rode for my first trackday.
Yeah, bolting the forks on was pretty much dead simple.
2nd-gen SV650:
Jack up the front, remove front wheel and calipers, put jack stands under the crash bungs (frame sliders), remove front lift, unbolt upper triple clamp, unbolt clipons, unbolt fork tubes from lower triple clamp, unscrew steering stem bearing nuts with a C-spanner, pull old lower triple and steering stem out from the bottom.
Installation reverse of removal. Note that if you use a steering stem style front lift, you'll need a different lift pin for the different lower triple.
Actually one of the bigger issues I had was with the ignition switch. The torx bolts that hold it on to the upper triple clamp are loctited in. So I went out and bought a heat gun (industrial strength hair dryer ) and eventually got them out. Took way too long, though. You basically need to heat up the whole ignition switch and upper triple clamp assembly so that it's too hot to touch, all while being tethered to the bike.
