The Micron pipe really sets it off. Add's just enough red to the back of the bike.

niiiice... I've just done the tappet cover gaskets on my car, that wasn't cheap either. At least you only have to do it once every 10 years.

Very nice ! Like others, I really like the red/white scheme however I think the black/silver of mine is a little less likely to catch the attentions of those fellas that keep inviting me to speek before the judge.

Thanks for the comments guys =)

Whoever had it before disconnected the exup cables at the valve and wired it open, so i'm joining them back up and hopefully it will give me more low down power. I came from a klr650 so I really notice the lack of torque under 4000 rpm.

If you're reconnecting the exup valve, make sure it moves properly
and the cables slide smoothly, before you connect them to the servo. Don't
want to strip the gears inside that servo ($$$).

Also while you're in the guts of it, see if you have standard air filter,
K+N replacement, or pod filters.

It's probably pretty difficult to find out if you have a jet kit and what
brand without completely disassembling the carbs. Whatever, if the bike
works with the exup operational, don't worry about it :D

The cables on my valve are pretty crapped actually... I might find out how much new ones are. I really wouldn't like to wreck the servo because then even if I disconnect the cables it will be giving an error won't it.

I took the air filter out but I couldn't see any writing on it or anything, would that just mean it's standard?

I think they must have put in new pistons and rings at some stage because all the top end down to the head is shiny clean metal but the bottom is just a grey colour. There's no way to tell though is there (without taking the head off)?

I can't think of one.

I think the head is painted with anti-corrosion shiny silver paint, and the barrell is just raw aluminium (with some dull corrosion over the surface).

Sorry I mean the barrel part with the pistons in it is shiny too, so they've had it out.. I can only hope they rebored it otherwise why remove it?
