Spray and Wash
Waldo Jeffers replied to Waldo Jeffers's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I used Evian bottled water. J/K, I sprayed it with water from the hose. I might add that we do have the best water in the world up here in the Pacific Northwest. -

Now I fear I’m gonna walk out to my garage and find a pile of dust where my bike used to be. 😀 -

Spray and Wash
Waldo Jeffers replied to Waldo Jeffers's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
Yes it does. You basically spray the stuff all over the bike and then rinse it off. I did go heavy with the spray on the engine and lower road grime area. It could use a second spray and wash, but it literally got 80% of the grime off. Obviously, I didn’t shoot water in places it shouldn’t be, eg, switch gear, exhaust pipe, etc. -

I love the look of the ‘21 all around. I also think the exhaust porting underneath is a brilliant idea, aesthetically that is. Maybe functionally as a road de-icer too? 😀

That’s a cherry super hawk.

I like Fabio Quartararo and since he’s French I will be going with Motul on my next oil change. Oh! And he rides a Yamaha. ✊😄

That’s who did the forks. I used to Race with Barry, the owner, years ago. I do want to get down to The Ridge to watch a race, especially MotoAmerica. Did you do a track day? Do they require a full or two piece leather suit? It’s been a looonnng time for me being on track.

After I installed and went for a ride and realized that I didn’t clock the forks to make them right reading and symmetrical. Derp. I gotta say the bike is transformed as others have said. I still haven’t set the sag yet (I think it’s in the ballpark). I do have the forks higher in the triple tree by 2mm than they were stock, but need to go a skosh more. Once the sag is set, I’ll start the black art of adjusting the comp and rebound on the front and rebound on the back.

Money well spent!

Have a great and safe ride bud. Jealous! -
I’m also a suspension noob. The cartridges I received from K-Tech (Lenny Albin) came with 9.0 springs and a quart of oil (not sure the weight). I have faith that Lenny sent the correct shit and that KFG knows their shit when installing. 🤞🙏 When I get the forks back I’ll set the sag and then do the fine tuning of the damping. At least that’s the plan.
-
I’m up near Everett. I dropped them off at KFG yesterday but they have a 5-7 day lead time. I went with KFG from your advice awhile back, plus there doesn’t seem to be any suspension shops up my way.

Just returned from getting my ECU flashed at @2wheeldynoworks. Super nice folks. Unfortunately, I can’t try it until I get my forks back from the shop, but I’ll let you know when I do. Anticipation....
-
The shock did seem to be in the ballpark. I will fine tune in it after my forks are upgraded. I decided to just go ahead and take the tank off to make getting to the top fasteners easier. I really don’t think I would have had the patience to get that top bolt out without destroying my garage. Overall the install was quite a breeze with all the info I had gathered on this site. Removing the tank is quite easy except for the fuel connector. I now have to remove the forks and drop them off at the shop for cartridge install. 5-7 day lead time. Grrrrr.

What is a “registered clutch abuser”? And where do I get registered!?

K-Tech Razor-R Lite shock K-Tech 20IDS cartridges I will be installing the shock in the next few days and will take the forks to the “local” shop for install of the cartridges. I don’t have the balls to attempt that. Great admiration for the folks on here that have.

Yeah there were some real dark clouds up near me too. Still lots of sand on the roads up here too.
