My old lady.

PS. It's not just the view, black is the best colour 😉

It seems I still have a fly infestation but I reckon I'd rather save up and go the flash route. The question did pop into my mind though, what if the previous owner had it flashed already? Is there any way to tell? I'd ask him but Edison never quite perfected his phone to contact the deceased (he unfortunately passed a while back in a motorcycle accident).

I'm no expert on the GTR (yet  ) but that sounds like a possible issue with wheel speed sensor/s.

Thanks gents, some good input. I've only had the GTR for a week now and haven't had the chance to take it on a really long ride and probably won't for a while still (thanks lockdown).

My impressions at this point is the seat is very comfy but the standard cover is super slick which had me and the mrs slide forward when braking, something the hump right at the back doesn't help with either. So considering that, I reckon for short term I'll have the seat recovered (which should help with the sliding and will make it look nice and fresh again) and level out the back end of the seat a tad and leave it at that.

If at a later stage I feel it needs to be changed, I'll have a look at the professional alternatives.

Ah OK, so like a ride by wire nanny system. I thought it might be something akin to an exhaust valve system that helps produce low down torque that then opens up at higher rpms to allow for more high end  horsepower. Wrong end of the respiratory system hey 😅

So ECU flash, plug in module (or at least that's what I think I saw a few days ago on some random site) or manual manipulation. What would be the easiest way of telling if the flies have been let out already?

For the sake of socialising in a post pandemic world of masks and well, social distancing 😅

What exactly is the purpose of the secondary butterflies?

Hi All

I have read quite a few posts and it seems the general consensus is that although the aftermarket seats (Corbin, Sargent etc.) are generally quite nice, similar results could be had from having the seat "adjusted" for a lot less money. That being said, I don't know anyone on this side of the world that specializes in seat refabs. There are one or 2 guys that will quite easily recover them however so I'm thinking with some directions I could get them to make the seat a tad better.

So on to specifics, what would you recommend for ...

Type of vinyl? Something smooth, something course etc.
Flatten the front (to eliminate the slide to the tank) and round the sides to make it slightly easier to reach the ground?
Would skimming 10 or 20mm of foam off the top and replace with a layer of memory foam make a difference?

Flatten the rear (eliminate the rear bulge to stop pillion sliding forward)?
Skimming 10 or 20mm of foam off the top and replace with a layer of memory foam?

What do you gents think?

Thanks,

So in normal everyday riding, steady pull away shifting at 3 to 4k rpm, it will shift normally/easily still?

I briefly had a quick shifter on a GSXR1000 a few years back but not for long enough to remember (was a cheap piece of junk that was installed really badly so removed it shortly after purchase). I know they are awesome on WOT pull aways but how usable are they for normal everyday riding (traffic, Suburbs etc)?
