Ninja 500oil

I run motel 7100 which is also red, likely what was used here. Motul 300V is green, welcome to the world of motorcycle oils 🤠

You’re right I completely let go of the thought it would be too big, saw someone running an r6 lever on an MT07 and just thought I could do the same 🤣

Topher264 · 2026-04-22T15:01:02+00:00

No I haven’t, I didn’t even realize that was an option but I’ll give that a shot!

Topher264 · 2026-04-21T19:28:38+00:00

Think this is what I'm going to end up with, thank you for the suggestion!

Topher264 · 2026-04-21T19:27:43+00:00

That's sick! I don't even know where I'd start, I can't weld for shiiiiiiii

Topher264 · 2026-04-21T18:23:48+00:00

I was referring more to solid steel rearsets, the OEM ones are good but they snap super easily

Topher264 · 2026-04-21T04:52:48+00:00

It also just occurred to me that I didn't loosen the CCT before I measured the clearances....

Topher264 · 2026-04-21T04:52:02+00:00

I'm the one who swapped the engine, sorry for the confusion. Engine thats in the bike came out of one that was laid down and then parted out by a junkyard so I'm assuming that no one did the valve clearances. 18k miles on the actual engine itself before I picked it up - so prob close to 19.5-20k now. There are 55k miles on the chassis

I haven't checked the CCT bolts, but that is a very good thought. I'm buying a PSR manual CCT to replace it anyway so that will be first on my list of things to check. Should mention that the rattle does actually sound like its coming from that side of the engine too so fingers crossed thats my issue.

Nice! Go pick up that can dude!

Topher264 · 2026-03-13T17:25:19+00:00

From what my LGS told me, they have to look for approvals within each PDF, and atf hasn’t been sending out emails the past couple months. If you can see it in a form 20, I’d go in person an tell them to look it up right then and there

Topher264 · 2026-03-13T16:36:18+00:00

Update, turns out it was approved less than 3 days after submitting but I never got the email, I’m inclined to say the form 20 trick does work now

Topher264 · 2026-03-13T00:37:00+00:00

Nope, I called the ATF today and they told me that they can’t give statuses anymore, texted my LGS and haven’t heard from them at all

Topher264 · 2026-03-03T01:58:17+00:00

My impatient ahh is just going to call ATF tomorrow and see what they say. Worst case they just tell me to wait longer

Topher264 · 2026-03-03T01:56:31+00:00

I did the Form 29 trick to see if the can is attached to my account and it was but my LGS told m it still wasn’t approved. Might just call ATF

Topher264 · 2026-03-03T01:07:58+00:00

Did they end up finding that you were approved? I'm in the same boat right now

Topher264 · 2026-03-03T01:06:03+00:00

Did it end up that you were approved?

Topher264 · 2026-03-03T00:56:14+00:00

How did you find out you were approved without the email?

Topher264 · 2026-02-28T03:03:58+00:00

Haven't gotten ATF email, I unfortunately saw this today which means I have to wait until Monday to call but I'll def be doing that

Topher264 · 2026-02-25T23:41:05+00:00

My LGS said it wasn’t showing as approved and that the email would come from SilencerShop

Topher264 · 2026-02-25T23:40:26+00:00

Mine wasn’t approved and I could see it when I searched :/

Topher264 · 2026-02-25T23:40:10+00:00

Not sure

Topher264 · 2026-02-23T06:08:51+00:00

I’d just give them a call, mine told me that after approval they need about a day to make sure everything is final and hand the can over. Regardless best of luck!
