  • yesterday installed the yosh RS3 zyclone...literally 15 minutes...took her out today to have a listen....a little louder than expected, but i think i'll get used to it ...lovin it already...and yes...i put in the noise reducer...without it was a bit much...especially for the neighbours...too many new borns in the area. FWIW...got it via motorcycle superstore...was a very good experience.

      • I finaly put a k&n air filter in my pre 750. while tearing it apart I found that the old oem filter was so clogged that it seperated from the velocity plate and was sitting right on top of the 2 inner carb inlets. took it for a ride right after and man does she scream now !!!! I highly recomend the K&N air filter for the pre's it made a lot of difference in my bike. looking to put the Vance & Hines 4 in to 1 exsaust on next .

              • Finally rode her! I spent the weekend putting her back together after looking at the pieces all spring. The saga: I went to adjust the valves in April before I synced the carbs. I got the valve cover off and found little bits all over. Turns out the spring keepers for one of the #4 intake valves had come off, allowing the valve to stay open when the piston came up. Piston hits valve, bends valve stem, valve guide comes apart and gouges up the combustion chamber. Massive imbalance ensues. Add a not-particularly-competent machine shop and you get to replace 3 valves with bent stems, a valve guide, re-install the valve guide after it goes in crooked, a valve seat that doesn't quite line up right with the new valve guide and about $200 worth of seals and gaskets. OOF! Good news is that I'm back on the road as of today and ready to sync the carbs after I run a tank or so of fresh gas through them. Oh, and the Kat is running like new! Now to get that cruise control finally installed!

                • After wrenching on it for a week and it's still not purring like I want it to, I took it into the dealership to have the pros look at it. Say a prayer for me.

                      • put the new tail light cover on, cleaned the exhaust pipe, <- brasso metal cleaner + a green brillo pad works wonders on grease and grime and brake on the pipe. i am going to get in there with a rag and clean as much by hand than just spraying it with a hose. then im going to price out how much i can paint it for. either by myself or through a paint shop.

                        • Synced and tuned my carbs after their full cleaning and rebuild. Throttle is really responsive now.... just a little turn makes the bike go really fast....
