further with the intake seals,hooking up the throttle cables.

 

further with the intake seals,and secure the tps sensor wire to the fuel rail, so it douse not vibrate so much ( change off wire breaks in the long run )

further with the intake seals,a little loctite on the footpeg bracket screws.

 

further with the intake seals,and test ride.

 

XB9S, shifting hard problem.

 

XB9S, shifting hard problem, the mechanime is not really optimal and mounted nicely , will look into this.

 

wireing up a gear indictor, picking the right wires is important ,other wise they don't work.

 

warped disk, hard to explain sometimes.

 

warped disk, drawing some stripes on the disk and lightly brake while turning the wheel gives a better understanding,as you see the trips fade unevenly , causing the brake to vibrate.

 

warped disk, will put a new disk on this one.
