so what is everyone wanting for christmas?

I would like an Aprilia rsv4 factory.
I would like Saturdays off work once a month.
Win the lottery.
Have an engineer for 2014 and a suspension tech.
Almost forgot the umbrella girl for the grid, lol.

 

I just got the new Suzuki MC from the recall... Its like night and day....

 

What's the process for getting it? Does it matter that my bike is track only, no title?

 

You will need a VIN... Mine was track only but I knew a rep here in Atlanta.. Call your dealer with your VIN and they will tell you Yay or Nay...:thumb:

 

I guess I had better get my new MC!

 

Tell me more...the dealer's got mine in stock; but the weather's been too bad to carry it to them because they have to do it....

 

They have to order it by VIN...so you need to call them and give them your VIN and they will order it for you. BTW, they will NOT let you put it on yourself (they get paid to install it by zuk, and it's considered a safety item)...

 

...

 

Not true.... I picked up the little brown box and did mine myself....:thumb: Its all based on the dealers decision...They can mark up the labor hours with or w/o the bike...

 

Lucky....I'm going to have to stand over them while they do it...you've got some pull at your dealer, apparently

 

For motorcycle gifts I'm getting a set of Suzuka tire warmers this year. The best gift honestly though was last week when I was able to feel my son kick for the first time! Is it bad that I've already got ideas in my head for Strider bikes and PW50's with training wheels?

 

Save your money, you are gonna need it! :thumb:

 

I assume the old MC was turned in when the replacement was picked up. :noidea:

 

Yes.... You need to keep your Lever Bolt, spacer and nut as well as the resevoir Clamp that keeps the lid on... Everything else is new...:thumb:

 

Marc, can you be more specific about the improvement in the feel?

 

After the first lap how about a full review....:thumb:

Old Master... Even with remote adjuster I could never get the little play out of it... All of my GSXR-s were like this.. 600's, 750,s and even my 1000.. Now It is simillar to a Brembo with immediate rock solid feel with no room between... Hopefully it will last

 

my wish came true, Mark from R&D shipped my transmission back. hoping to have together by the end of jan. Barber in march!!!! HERE WE COME! Ski

 

Thanks! Mine had a little play, but not much. Both Jay's and Charlies would, when hot, fade all the way to the grip...which was the effect of the entire reason there was a recall in the first place. Mine never did that - once the play was gone, it would continue to hold. However, sometimes it would take all the grip I have to get it to slow down.

I rode Trey's S1000RR, and the bite was NOTICEABLY better, even before the ABS kicked in. What I'm hoping is that the new MC has got better 'force'; otherwise I might have to copy Jay and replace with a Brembo MC....

 

If it's anything like the lever on an R6 that would be nice.
