This was my 21st Bday present to myself bought brand new in 2003.
Two sets of plastics and a couple engine tear downs over the years. I really hated the white wheels after a few years and a buddy of mine traded all the plastics and wheels so it went from blue and white to black and yellow. Redline in 6th was 172 indicated with stock gearing..Not bad. Bike was minty when I sold it even with 35,000+ miles and looked and ran as good as the day I bought it. Crankshaft counterweight bolts backed out around 20,000 miles and nearly killed the engine but I tore it down and repaired the crank. Rode it all the time for a few more years. Once I got into my mid 30's it really bothered my knees on any ride longer than 30 minutes and finally sold it a couple a years ago. Getting old sucks.

A local shop will handle the repair, but I’m bike-less until then. It’s too damn hot to ride it, anyway. |

It's only a Praying Mantis. No need to be shooting holes in your windshield for Petes sake Those were there when I bought the bike. Figure the previous owner had a gopro mounted there. Fortunately they're only in my line of sight if I'm laying down on the tank, which isn't really how that bike wants to be ridden.
Mantis was on the inside of the windshield and was struggling for grip. Had one foot in the rough hole and the rest were floundering. I got him to grab on to a stick and moved him to a tree before I took off. |

Update 10/7: well it definitely unlocks some mid-throttle response and it's a little faster overall. I like it. Bren Tuning sent me a corrupted map at first and it took way too long to get that sorted - but they did and I'm up and running. The throttle response feels more "natural" I guess for a 1600 inline 6. But I've traded throttle governing for wheel-spin governing. That can be turned off - I haven't yet.
Original Post: Rode just under 500 miles today. Was hoping this showed up before the trip - so of course it it showed up today when I was gone. Governor is crazy strict on this bike. Forums have good things to say will report back:

Motor just got a fresh top end at 57 hours. New valves, forged Wiseco piston, cam chain, oil pump, Hinson clutch, the head and cylinder were decked and cylinder honed, every bearing in the chassis greased again, and the suspension rebuilt with new seals front and back. Also threw on some fresh plastics, graphics, and seat cover.
