papac2000 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I could not stand to look at my bike every day and not ride it... The weather today is sunny and 7 C, and the roads near my shop are bare and dry (for now). I had no intention of going far, I just had to take it down the road a piece and see how it feels. I kept it in B mode. Gotta love the smooth, torquey powah! It may be a few weeks until I ride it regularly, but that's OK, I got a taste. 8-) 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eatpasta Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 that's why they keep me around.... and as far as being a wheelie virgin - that will end real soon. Just remember your chain will stretch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papac2000 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 And a note on the video Hope I'm not stating the obvious, but the sound of the new exhaust can't be appreciated unless you wear headphones or play it through decent PC speakers. Phones and laptop speakers won't get it...you just hear the whirring of the engine. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
