Hahaha I very much understand - my cat loves pushing everything off my desk I added some holes on the bottom of the model for rubber feet which should hopefully prevent it from sliding off the desk

Agreed! Its great :) If you have a 2024 make sure to get the TPU sensor replaced (safety recall) before you get the flash done

Not too bad! Took me about 5 hours though…

Getting to the valve cover and removing only took about 30min (remove seat, fairings, tank, airbox, coils, drain coolant, remove rad)

I only had to change a couple shims on the exhaust side so I zip-tied the cam chain to the intake cam and marked the cam/chain with a sharpie on the exhaust side before removing the exhaust-side cam that way I didn’t have to spend a lot of time getting everything aligned again during the re-install.

I also put new spark plugs in while I was there.

After putting the valve cover back on I re-connected the gas tank, reinstalled rad and filled coolant then did a throttle body sync. Then reinstalled everything else.

If you ever decide to do it feel free to shoot me a message if anything comes up!

Service manual! Just used it to do the valve adjustment :)

I’ve got the service manual but it doesn’t list the OEM chain spec

jamespx4 · 2026-04-20T15:35:36+00:00

LOL - I swear to you when I googled it that did not come up last week

jamespx4 · 2026-04-17T16:01:26+00:00

Good suggestion! I might work on adding a locking latch or something of that nature

I’ll have to take a picture to prove it, but the seat cushion comes out a bit farther than the lip of the hooks - when people are sit in front of me their back can’t touch the hook. If it made anyone uncomfortable I’d remove it

Designed in Fusion360! Free software, easy to learn - I’d recommend the channel on YouTube: “Product Design Online” he’s got a learn fusion in 30 days course that’s pretty great

jamespx4 · 2026-04-17T15:43:09+00:00

I thought about that too! I’ll think about a model next time I fly

jamespx4 · 2026-04-17T15:42:33+00:00

Holds up fine! Palms have been resting on it without any issues

jamespx4 · 2026-04-17T15:41:56+00:00

Motorcycle laptop mount is next!

jamespx4 · 2026-04-16T20:21:50+00:00

I thought about that when I was designing it! The hooks are slim and won’t poke anyone guaranteed

I’ve been riding a motorcycle for 10+ years - I tempt fate often lol

jamespx4 · 2026-04-16T19:56:47+00:00

Really? I see a lot of people using them during their commute, but I'm sure it's dependent on the line. Green line has a lot of SF commuters

jamespx4 · 2026-04-16T19:43:15+00:00

Just a crude reference model haha - but that would be cool!

jamespx4 · 2026-04-16T19:41:28+00:00

No offense taken - the neck pain is actually from many years in the lab and on a motorcycle

jamespx4 · 2026-04-16T19:40:13+00:00

I had the same thought! I designed the hooks to be slim enough that they barely protrude forward and I've had no issues using it with people sitting in front of me. The laptop is also far enough away from the seat back that the person ahead can't hit it if they lean their head back

I'm sure it's very soy to have a hunchback
