Sure, I'll probably be doing the supermoto day at Shannonville in June. I will PM you in a few week with my plans.

The stator is done. All 3 phases are grounded and I'm getting 3-5V from each at idle. This is getting a bit ridiculous. I was really not expecting this since it's a beefed up Rick's Electric unit. So right now I'm running a total loss system.

Anyone have the contact info of the photographer that was out there yesterday?

Great day at the track today. The ape was a blast! It's also deafeningly loud, so earplugs are mandatory. The shakedown brought up some small issues. The battery went flat part way through the morning and got bad enough that the bike wouldn't idle, so that ended my day two sessions early. After...

Congrats. That's a cool looking swingarm.

The factory schedule is a bit odd. I think it was oil every 3k, pistons and valves every 9k. It's more like oil every 1k, pistons and valves every 25k. More if it isn't raced or tracked extensively. I expect to do bearings, gaskets, and rings after 10k, and that's probably early. I also have the...

Give D4 Performance a call, they're in Cambridge.

Buttoned everything up today, ready for Grand Bend on Saturday. The speedo sensor doesn't work so street riding is on hold until the replacement arrives. Besides that, all that needs to be done is a throttle body sync. I also don't have the hand guards mounted as I need to figure out how to...

I did racer5 back in 2010. I was happy with it then and I'm sure it's even better now.

I'm packing my rain gear.

I'm in for Saturday. This weather though...

The SXV is reliable when it's properly set up. Most people don't know how to do this and/or neglect maintenance. That's where the reputation for unreliability comes from. My engine builder got over 30,000kms out of his RXV (enduro, sxv motor) before the next owner ran it low on oil. Show me that...

http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?179331-Young-Riders-(16-24yo)-What-are-you-paying-for-insurance That should give you an idea. You may have to sit on your M2 for a year to lower the rates. The bike age is not as important as displacement when it comes to calculating your premium.

Great news, the fuel leak fixed itself. I suspect the lines were dry from sitting for so long and didn't want to seal. To make sure I left the lines pressurized for a while and didn't see a drop of gasoline. Took the bike for a quick ride around the block today. What an animal! Can't wait to get...

I'll join in on a few of your rides as soon as my bike is ready.

I'll probably be there on the 10th if I can get my fuel leak sorted out in time.

Yet another setback. On Monday I was priming the fuel pump, getting ready to start the bike, when I noticed fuel pouring out of the airbox. There is a leak at the delivery side of the T fitting, as well as the front injector side. Both leaks are at the clamps. I messaged my engine builder to see...

Made some great progress today with the help of a friend, but did not get everything done. All that's left is wiring, and some small miscellaneous items. Mounting the engine was fun. I hoisted up the bike with a tie-down, slid the engine under it on a stand, and lowered the bike on to...

Forks came back today. I went ahead and had some heavier springs installed. I also installed the fender eliminator and exhaust this week: I expect to have the bike reassembled this weekend. There are just a few more items to be cleaned and I need to have one thread helicoiled.
