It doesn't realy bother me,but the noise natzis and cops are a hassle I can do without. I understand 'loud' is a subjective thing so put it this way, its currently un-corked with the end cap mod only. I would still call this 'quiet-ish'. It also comes with the spark arrestor, so I guess this would shut it up a little more if need be. cheers. M&M's...Who doesn't Love Em?

So here go the first of many questions I have: I have a uni foam air filter. Just under that is a metal screen. No mention of it in the repair manual. Anyone else have this? Is this a necessary item?

The tear down - tank & seat removal. Cleaned some dirt and crude off first, more to clean while it's apart. I then adjusted the valves, added a new spark plug, cleaned the air filter and cleaned out the gas tank. I can see the dirt being in the tank, but weeds too...really? Next up....Sub frame removal to get the rear shock out for servicing and a new Eibach spring. _________________ M&M's...Who doesn't Love Em?

The foot peg problem fix is to weld a bracket on the peg so the bracket goes over the frame and the front bolt goes through the other side of the bracket.

I put it off for about a year, and that's about six months too long. I ride where there's a lot of sand, and salty water.

This rubber gasket should avoid the sand flow into the airbox and, of course, save the engine..... Do you know who produce this gasket? Where can I find it? Are there other solutions? Thanks ...
