Must admit she sounded pretty sweet as you were heading up the road [moto] I guess all I can add is dump the tumor and get the open cover fitted and she will be the envy.

[coffee] [threadjack] Looks like we have a designated driver for the ski trip then [laugh] Looks like I might have to back a little camp stove and the stove top to keep the driver happy. Did anyone say mecca beans @ the skifields!

[/threadjack] Ahh I may stray a little on certain occasions [drink] Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: kursed on August 03, 2008, 04:43:52 AM given up on the beers!!!?? I meant to ask what kind of beer you want for when I come pick up the other bits! something else to say thanks then?
cake? lol I dunno. what works for you... Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Six95 on August 03, 2008, 02:14:06 PM Hey Luke
Has the g/f caught on yet or is the mod in stealth mode still? Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Dockstrada on August 03, 2008, 02:31:49 PM given up on the beers!!!?? I meant to ask what kind of beer you want for when I come pick up the other bits! something else to say thanks then? cake? lol I dunno. what works for you... Its not a problem no need for anything, thanks is plenty [thumbsup] Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: kursed on August 03, 2008, 06:21:25 PM I booked it in for a tune this week, maintaining a constant throttle while cruising is making it pop and sputter a bit, as is a crack of the throttle from idle so I guess the TPS / throttle bodies do need some fine adjusting in this instance.
I just got the confirmation my clutch cover is now en route to my mailbox as is the ss clutch springs! open clutchy noise here i come. Will get some pics up once its all done. cheers next step - getting rid of some of the beer tray and those monster sized indicators... Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: craigo on August 03, 2008, 06:58:56 PM Termis make everything better :)
Can you run an open clutch on an s2r? I thought it was a slipper clutch. Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: kursed on August 03, 2008, 07:12:10 PM the 800 uses a slipper / wet clutch, while the 1000 uses the dry. I have the onethou ;D
six95 - I showed it to her last night and explained carefully that it simply had to happen. She had apparently already sussed it anyway since TNT called a week prior to delivery to confirm address. So it seemed she was waiting for me to tell her so she could tell me she already knew. phew. women. [bang] Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Betty on August 03, 2008, 07:56:30 PM So she obviously hasn't mentioned her counter-spend then .... or is it still in the devious planning stage.
Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: kursed on August 03, 2008, 10:42:29 PM her rule is 'buy when its on sale to save money later'. So I just said I got it on sale and I was gonna buy it anyway :)
Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Dockstrada on August 03, 2008, 10:55:21 PM My rule is treat them like mushrooms,Keep them in the dark and feed them bull shit [thumbsup]
Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Betty on August 03, 2008, 11:13:29 PM My rule is 'you buy it, you fit it, I ride it'
Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Spider on August 04, 2008, 12:03:01 AM My rule is 'you buy it, you fit it, I ride it' Nice! My rule: this makes me happy, so that I can put my efforts into making YOU happy.... Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Spider on August 04, 2008, 12:04:50 AM enough words...when do we get the pictures?
;) Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: goldFiSh on August 04, 2008, 02:14:32 PM So she obviously hasn't mentioned her counter-spend then .... or is it still in the devious planning stage. +1that's how it works in my house... "yeah of course you can buy it if you really want it.......................................... (to be continued)" Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: kursed on August 04, 2008, 02:18:16 PM hahaha all these rules are hilarious. pics when the clutch cover arrives - should be today GRINS!
Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: kursed on August 06, 2008, 05:23:15 PM Tune up all done at Frasers in homebush. What a massive difference that makes. the bike now rides without hesitation from down low and feels much more linear in power delivery, all round less 'lumpy'.
Feels veeeeeery good. Definitely needed the tune up after the system went on. The settings were all out of wack - especially the TPS. feels dreamy now. yum! [beer] [moto] 8) ;D [evil] Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: Spider on August 06, 2008, 05:42:03 PM and how good is slowly rolling off the throttle from 5k to 3k, she frickin growls like a hellhound!
then blip it back to 5, downshift and hear it again! I've never enjoyed red lights more! [thumbsup] Title: Re: TERMI'S ARE GO Post by: kursed on August 07, 2008, 06:55:56 PM pics as promised!
