  1. Hi everyone, i have the Oem heated grips on my 2015. Do i need to order the bottom kit like stated on their web site or the top one? Just wanted to make sure… Thanks as usual, Brad
  2. I have sent them many pictures and some with a tape measure upon their request. There might be a problem with the mid section. Length and bends. They are going to check the master they have to compare with mine. Does the Delkevic require you to remove the center stand? I want to keep it for obvious reasons.
  3. The ecu is reflashed according to this setup. I brought it at the shop when I went there to get the exhaust system. I might have to get it out again to have it reflashed with the stock exhaust.🙄
  4. Hi, anyone here with this exhaust? I’m trying to fit one and I have clearance issues. I only have like 1/16 of an inch of clearance each side of the can. Between the swingarm and the center stand stopper bracket. The muffler strap makes contact a little on the leg. Non-sense. And I’m generous because if I twist the mid pipe to try to align the can to clear the center stand, then it touches the swingarm. Poor installation instructions.(General installation of an exhaust system…)I called them and someone told me how to install the bracket and bolts that i was sure they were not to be used on this bike. So once I figured that I was way more confident to fit it properly but no it’s not. I’m always worried about craftsmanship for those type of things. Brackets being bent properly, holes drilled at the right spot, pipes bent correctly etc. Too many factors for things to go wrong. Note that i am a mechanic. I own a lot of tools and use them! Should have just got the ecu flashed. That was my first idea. This bike has not much space to develop an exhaust system while keeping the center stand. Maybe you will have a hard time understanding my pictures because I have put rags and tape everywhere to prevent scratches. The last one is the top of the muffler and swingarm. I have used a rubber mallet to tap the header to make sure it is all the way in the flanges. The mid pipe contacts the weld bead inside the muffler so I guess it cannot go further in and it is correct that way. Everything was mounted loosely and I then told myself that when tightening up the system would take place correctly but no. Thanks for helping, I’m about to set the bike on fire. It says an hour and a half to three hours to install. I have spent all day so far.
  5. Hi guys, i have found a "sport" version Yamaha tank bag. 5 to 9 liters. For sale with the tank ring. I'm pretty sure it is going to be too small for my taste. Now I want to know; is the ring universal? Willing to bet yes but not sure at 100%. Thanks as usual... Brad.
  6. Hi everyone, what rear axle nut wrench do you take when you travel on your bike? I know i will have to adjust the chain at some point. This time i dont really want to bring my breaker bar and long 27mm socket. It’s too heavy, and a 1/2 ratchet has not enough leverage. Thanks!
  7. Interesting... Did you do it?
