    I see... but I don't see. I think I love it... minimalist rear, I think a reduction up front would balance it perfectly...
  4. Hi Phil, so how's the 825 going ? Wil you get it dyno run now you have a good module ? Here's my latest. image.jpg I'm fairly certain if I had my missing 300 RPM then it would have hit the magic 120hp I was aiming for ! Be good to see the difference the big bore makes. Soooo close... my eye extends it out the last 300 rpms and I think you make it! Is that with the Yoshi style stacks? Torque curve looks silky smooth and quite tasty!

    Awesome pic! Something old, something new... ... and a nice cold Coca-Cola in a bottle!
  6. My 5th gen with Iridium plugs are still working fine... I used 2008 CBR1K COPS... I know not 4th gen, but...
  7. Rice, Use an RC51 upper triple, and you can drill the top for your aftermarket bar clamps.Same spacing between 929/954 and RC51, so it slips right on. And it's flat on top. doesn't it have to be either the SP1 or SP2? I thought there was a difference in the steering stem diameter... or something that made the two versions slightly different.

  9. How many miles are on the "new" girl?

  11. That was my thought too... but titanium or stainless is different than spring steel and I don't if the electrical potential is greater or less and if adding the third type of metal to the mix makes it worse/better/no effect??? I looked at a stainless counter-sunk washer from Pro-Bolt to eliminate the extra washer under the aluminum one but they were significantly heavier... spinning at 11k rpms I didn't know if I was comfortable with that route. That was what made me think about Ti and then I really didn't know if that would play nice with the aluminum... I was hoping one of our brainiacs would know the answer.
  12. From my understanding, which is limited, galvanic corrosion can occur when depending on the different metals properties they create an electrical potential between them when in the presence of moisture and the current passes between the different metals slowly over time with one of the metals becoming oxidized as it gains electrons
  13. Are there any issues with galvanic corrosion mixing all the different metals? SS, aluminum, steel springs... Is there any problem using Ti for the counter-sunk bolts?
  14. Ditto... customer service from Yaman is exceptional! Every question and email gets answered... I sent in my module for the 5th gen re-progamming and he noticed a hairline crack in the case and is replacing the unit complete with new warranty starting from the date of replacement! I brought my car into Acura for an air bag replacement due to a recall and they didn't even reset my SRS light because... "it's not listed in the recall". Dealer wanted to charge me another minumum $125 to hook it up to "the computer"... Acura could learn from Yaman on how to treat customers!
