Mods For The Rs

Nice. Looks freaking awesome now. Love seeing all of the piping, very clean.

 

Nope haven’t even ridden the bike yet . I hade the
same problem with the pegs on my Street Triple as I couldn’t move my boots around on them. The Speed’s are the same so they had to be replaced. I replaced my Street’s with eBay pegs that are about the same knurling as the Rizoma’s and they worked really well. The Rizoma’s feel about the same with my boots on them, so should be perfect.

 

Hahah, no worries. It won’t be long now. They say we are going to see upwards of 18 Celsius next week, so you never know. Yeah, those pegs are very nice indeed, from feel to quality machining, a top notch product.

 

Nice. Too bad about the snow though. As far as the holes go, I was thinking about using plugs of some sort. I might take a bolt to the hardware store and see if I can find something. Otherwise I might just leave them the way they are, probably can do any harm besides getting road grime in there. Have you mounted them yet? I’ve tried moving my boots around on them and they are much better than stock pegs. Very grippy but let’s me position my boots more easily. I have Dainese Torque D1 boots and the are very grippy, see photo.

 

Yup, one of the easiest mods to install. You’ll just have to decide how far to rotate them forwards. I guess it depends on where you have your shift lever adjusted to. I moved my shifter down from the stock position by one tooth on the splined shaft. So my pegs are rotated forward a few degrees. I’ll include a photo.

 

Well I finally got out on the bike today . It was 20 Celsius today, so I put a one day permit on the bike to perform some break-in. Holy s$!t that was awesome. Very impressed, handfulls of torque with a linear throttle response. Feels basically as flickable as my Street. I’m performing a Motoman break-in, which is a hard break-in, so I got to feel up to 9000 rpm’s with the front end coming up in 3rd gear, nice! I was surprised to see wind blast is not as turbulent as my Street, both have fly screens. I set the suspension to comfort just to see how it would be. Very compliant and plush over manhole covers and small potholes, and rock solid in corners. I was a little concerned as some people have said the suspension is very firm even in comfort setting. Perhaps they didn’t set sag setting first or they weigh less than I at 13 stones. After my 100 km ride the oil and filter was changed and Paint work wiped down, which by the way is much easier with a ceramic coating applied. Anyway, I had a fantastic day today on the new bike. It was everything I had hoped it would be and more.

 

Yup. I think I’m going to cut the baffles out though. It’s still pretty quiet with just the discs out. I think it doesn’t change the fueling or torque either, maybe other can chime in on this one.

 

Update regarding the stock exhaust, it actually is getting better unless it’s my imagination . I put an exhaust on a sports car I had years ago and the sound did open up as the miles went on. Come to think of it so did the SC Project exhaust I put on the Street Triple, so maybe this one will too. Anyone else notice this supernatural phenomenon .

 

Awesome, that’s good to hear.

 

I’m glad you like it. I kinda wish I didn’t cut them out before riding it for the first time, as I don’t know what is sounded like before. Oh well not a big deal.
