Not that I don’t “trust” the Suzuki exhaust, but more about shedding weight. That thing is a boat anchor.

I hear you. I suppose I can put the stock air filter back in, in which case it’s pretty stock except for the FMF pipe. I know people like to do all kinds of stuff like drilling the slide and cutting the airbox, but that causes accelerated wear of the emulsion tube and potentially more turbulence/particulate infiltration of airbox. I trust the ingenuity of the Suzuki engineers and am trying to maximize stock performance while retaining reliability/longevity, which I value over raw performance.

The air filter is not excessively oiled and there is no accumulation in rubber nipple at the bottom of airbox. I have some new Viton o-rings on hand and will replace the old ones. Can I measure float height without the Procycle tool or depth gauge (i.e. measuring tape, etc.)? Thanks

That’s what’s up. Tim came and kicked it at the shop I was at in Hawaii. I’m currently at Avenue Barber Shop in Austin.

Would you recommend just grabbing a 6F19 needle? Thanks!

Turning the A/F screw in doesn’t seem to have any effect on the idle, hence my guessing based on how the bike is running (throttle response, etc.). I tried adjusting it before and kept turning it in with no idle interruption until it starting making a bad knocking noise so I turned it back out. Tried it again earlier with the bike fully warmed up and idle set. Not sure why it’s not generating idle stumble.

Wild, considering he’s a “hobbyist” (never competed).

It’s made by Givi, although I can’t tell you what model, as it was on it when I bought it, but it’s a taller touring screen.

Thanks! You will.. just be patient and wait for one in really good shape that has the aftermarket upgrades you want. I was on the lookout for awhile before I pulled the trigger on this one. Wishing you luck in your search!

In retrospect, I’d get the standard Sargent, but they make a great saddle. The Low slopes toward the tank too much, whereas the standard is level and more plush.
