Installed the Givi Wingrack for an upcoming camping trip. Took a lot of muscle to get this to fit, bolts and washer combos, either the rear subframe is crooked or the rack is, because the gap between the rack and fairing on the left-hand side was non existent and rubbing on the paint. Got a new key cut so i can remove the rear seat with the rack installed.

Finally went the bike with some plastic and metal restorer (do it once a year now and it makes a huge difference, oil-based but leaves absolutely no residue) Love this product and can highly recommend Owatrol Polytrol

Very curious about this thread. What exactly is the benefit of swapping out the injectors. Say id swap em for the 929 injectors. what is the difference?

One use I've found for it is when riding through mountainous areas.

 

The other for me is that the wax unit is such a PITA to get at that taking that out of the equation is one fewer potential service project I might need to do. And I think it's happening on my G6 - there doesn't seem to be a fast idle these days - it stumbles along until it warms up then idles fine.    Just my $.02. 

Okay thats interesting, Last summer, riding through the alps i didnt notice much difference in idle speed and power delivery. We're talking elevation changes from 200 meters to +1500-2200m (650ft - 6500ft in freedom units ). granted i wasnt pushing hard (unknown roads and not wanting to spoil a fan.fucking.tastic vacation)

But I can get the use-case for the lever. Good to know.

I luckily havent had to touch the wax unit. Lets pray to the Viffer gods i dont have to 😉

Anybody do the fast idle lever mod conversion on a wax unit bike? I find the lever very useful in a lot of situations....on and off the bike....

Just a curiosity....

What are those advantages? Could you explain that to me?

I own a 2000, with the wax idler and have only once had the engine die on me after starting (when still cold and it was around 0 degrees C outside). I think that my startervalve sync has helped with preventing this from happening more often. based on logic, not facts 😛

Does anyone know the part number for the ferodo friction plates for a 00-01? I cannot find them anywhere. Or do i just order the 98-99 and leave a friction plate in the closet?
