I had to remove my stock exhaust for some (cough) "cosmetic" issues... After reinstalling it the exhaust seems louder for some reason. I took a picture of the EXUP setup before removing it and tried to get it back to where is was previously but feel like I may not have.
Is there any...
So as I had thought, my sag has increased on the rear to almost 40mm . This has gotten worse and its already on the stiffest setting. :( Forks are able to be tuned into less than 30mm but I can't go too stiff because the rear is so soft. Oh well I enjoy BBQ a little to much I guess!

Honestly I just did it because I have seen everybody else do it... its kind of silly bit there are a lotta shady m-effers out there. Who knows what people do when they are bored on the internet.
Removed the previous owner's custom made SS fender eliminator kit and got the rust off of it and/painted it. (Good design but he didn't polish it out)
Rewired the rear turn signals, the previous owner half-assed it pretty bad so I spliced them, heat shrunk the connections and tidied up the...
Wow I felt old before I came in here.... :surrender:
Kevin here... 42 and just got my fz1 a couple of months ago.
First bike in 10+ ok more like 15 years! Rode a Ninja 600r for about a decade a whole 'nother life ago. I laid it down in a beach town on a road full of sand and promised...
