New Q3s should be arriving at my doorstep later today, but while the new bike has been out of commission with a screw in the front tire I went ahead and mounted up the M4 GP slipon. It was raining, night, and I have crappy lighting in the garage so I apologize for the poor quality pics. I love the look of the exhaust and sounds pretty good at idle. I'm a good neighbor so haven't turned it up yet. Front ss lines will go on as soon as I can find my brake bleeding kit. Also finally put a couple decals on the SV (previously solid white) so casual observers could at least identify it as a Suzuki, if not which model.

Also HOLY CRAP Suzuki doesn't want me removing those passenger pegs! I think I'm going to need a breaker bar to get them loose!

Medium strength blue on those bolts. Wonder why you can't get them loose have your girlfriend give it a try ing:


Bikes look good sir .

They're in a unhandy place to get to and yes, blue Loctite.
If you don't have an allen wrench socket just put a boxed end wrench over the end of an allen wrench.

Haha yea those passenger pegs were a B. Allen key socket works good w a socket wrench. Def gotta put some oomf into it.

The M4 went to a loving new home somewhere in the state of Washington. Got a deal I couldn't pass up on a full Yosh R77D and I had to get rid of the cat anyway to get race glass mounted. So off with the old (and heavy!) and on with the new. OEM muffler really isn't very heavy but that cat sure is. SET cables are being retired. Got the Vortex rearsets installed and pulled the ECU so it can be reflashed.

very nice. I was amazed at how heavy the CAT alone was. I actually went as far as to weigh it. Around 13 lbs if I remember right.

I didn't weigh them but that sounds about right. I saw where an M4 full system was 12 lbs less than OEM.

Oh I guess I also finally installed the sweet titanium caliper bolts I got from a certain racer on the site.

I won't be getting a job installing vinyl anytime soon but very pleased with the number plates. Still working ridges out of the nose (these things are very rounded) but the tail was easy. Preview of the new scheme:

Looks good

nice man! im looking to put some Q3s and vortex rearsets on mine eventually. how do you like the Q3s, and were you just on the stock wheels before that? also, where did you get your plastics?

I got a screw in the front OEM Bridgestone and wanted to replace as a set so picked up the Q3's. Have seen some mention these coming apart a bit (can't remember if it was 3N or Bry?) but no issues for me (knock on wood). I've only had them on the street so far but no complaints at all. If they're still in good shape in the spring, I'll probably do a trackday on them.

I lucked out on the Armour Bodies and got a good deal from a racer in Florida who sold his 750 for an R6 for next year. He had these mounted after replacing his old bodywork but didn't actually run these. So they ought to mount right up since they are already drilled, etc. and they were just in grey primer so ready to go.

Got a call from Dano's Performance this morning verifying what I want done to my ECU for the reflash. He's telling me take it easy first time out because it should really wake the bike up. Supposedly get another 5 or so HP on top and better throttle response. Unfortunately couldn't get it dyno'd beforehand so I can see what the actual difference is, but interested to see if I can tell a seat-of-pants difference.

• Optimize fuel curves across all gears (similar to a Power Commander)
• Optimize ignition curves across all gears (same as our GP-TRE)
• Enable hard cut RPM limiter
• Raise RPM limiter
• Disable steering damper not doing
• Disable Pair valve
• Disable O2 sensor
• Disable exhaust valve
• Remove secondary throttle plate limits (this adds more top end horsepower)

Productive morning.

Who makes that shock? I have a Nitron on my ninja that I really like. I might go that route again but go double or triple clicker as opposed to the single.

The shock is JRi. I had Penske on my SV racebike and didn't know much about JRi but was recommended by a racer friend.

Competitively priced? Nice part about some of these smaller brands is you get all the performance at a discounted price because they don't carry the name. Major disadvantage is you don't have the trackside service of a major brand like Penske or ohlins.

Yeah price is pretty comparable to Penske. Triple adjustable with high/low compression, rebound, and preload is around $1100-1200 retail, but I found mine on eBay. Was from a GSXR1000 with only 4 races on it. They had it listed for almost $800, I offered $700 and they took it. I know someone who is getting the Street Fighter version. Great thing about these is that they are built to fit a variety of bikes.

Installed the RCS19:
