Post by: s2r800 on May 27, 2008, 05:27:47 PM
so i just picked up an 07 s2r800....if you cant tell by the user name :)

hit 600 miles and dropped it off for some upgrades...here is the video pre upgrade - when i get it back we will see how it sounds!  btw - they had a red 696 at the dealership when i dropped it off - it felt much smaller than my bike...looked nice except for the exhaust.

He put up a video... what more do you want man!

If you want to ditch the reflectors, but still keep your night time visibility check out

I put a set of their black reflective wheel tapes on my old Dark 620.  They were near invisible in daylight - but in any flash photos they returned a bright white..  They also make Tricolore reflective stripes... mmmm

I did the full Termis and the 14 tooth front sprocket on my S4Rs last week during my 600 mi service. ;D

I think you'll be very happy. [thumbsup]

just got it back from the dealer....first impression...holy crap is it loud!  Also- no more blub blub blub at low speeds!

i never thought the 14 tooth would make that much of a difference - but it is so much nicer to drive around boston in traffic now!  and the exhaust note.....i used to drive through harvard square and i would blend in...now i can actually hear the exhaust echoing off the building!  damn thats fun!

one question - the dealer said they had the wrong ecu delivered - and they had to order the right one for me....they tuned it with the stock ecu for now....when i get the new one put in will i notice a big power difference? 

btw..will take a new vid tomorrow!
