Didi you take the pic with your phone? They now include a datapoint to indicate orientation when the pic is taken.

I did. But i loaded it into the computer, looked fine on the computer just before i loaded it here
The computer will apply the metadata, so it shows correctly, while the forum ignores it. I grabbed your photo and was able to edit it so that the orientation is correct.

Looking at light bar for this spring, I ended up with the Cyclops 8K lumen head lights. Installed today, kinda a PITA stuffing wires and that heat gizmo in the housing. Took for a shot spin, I think they need raising, but I was in shorts so not a long zip and wasn't completely dark, it's cold . There different for sure.

Checked the air filter. The job has been made much easier since I replaced the original socket head tank bolts with hex heads. Now I just loosen the left side panel rather than have to remove it And can slip a gearwrench on the bold to remove it and the fuel tank.

Put on a fresh Shinko 804 up front, checked head bearings, and changed the fork oil on my 2014. Still need to bleed the brakes all around and grease the swing arm... that should be the last of the winter maintenance.

Ya, believe it or not. I thought for sure I'd be tight on the exhaust. I run those Uni foam filters with a pre filter on em, so I'm guessing that helped out? And maybe I don't run it up too much?

Mine were good at 30k mi. Only one exhaust was at about 13%. I think most would go 50k mi no problem.

I’m interested in a report on your Two Bros exhaust.

A little late but I dropped my Ten off Friday at Bobby J's Yamaha in Albuquerque waiting for the Yamaha tech's coming from California this week to test ride it then dissect, probe, ponder evaluate, dissemble and rewire with a new harness. To find out why this bike stalls and runs at hi RPM's at randomly odd times bounces around and smells like raw fuel from time to time. Like a few of us have had the pleasure of experiencing.
Hope to get the valves checked for free as well and the $500.00 in shop credit for my troubles am talking the service manager into a clutch rebuild with it.
I am already Jonesing for my ride but hope it will be an easy fix with no findings of Gremlin poop in the motor.. ::024::
My guess i will be down for at least two weeks, just in time for Camping trips down south..

I am in the process of redoing the suspension. The forks are being rebuilt by a local bike mechanic. Also the same shop I had 2 new Michelin Anakee 3's mounted. I am replacing brake pads front and rear with EBC. Next mods to come is a Touratech shock, Akrapovic exhaust, arrow headers and ECU reflash. Not sure when that will be tho. lol

The two brother’s exhaust sounds good. I find this bike to sound very mechanical with the stock exhaust installed as many of my previous bikes have until I either modify the stock exhaust or install a performance exhaust. I was going to purchase the Arrow full exhaust system but I purchased this one used from a forum member at a fair price. It needs to be repacked which I have purchased the repacking kit and will do soon. These types of exhaust systems needs to be repacked every 5,000 miles or so. I do my repacking once a year and ride around 15,000 miles but you can tell the difference in sound at years end. So the long and short is for the money you can’t go wrong. The sound is good and I can now hear my bike when riding with a full faced helmet on. The quality is a “B”, fit and finish is a “C”. Why a “C” on fit and finish well a couple of things. One the Two Brothers doesn’t use a crush washer on the connector pipe and uses a one point hanger system. This allows the muffler to move side to side so I will be building a two point hanger to correct this. The attachment from the muffler to the exhaust pipe is a two spring setup no clamp. Both not using a crush washer and a spring connection will make if difficult to get the system to not leak. Would I purchase again, yes due to the sound but it is a subjective thing.

Nice job, I also have to do mine, 40 000 km service.

Can you please give more info on the pre-fliter and post a photo of it.

Sure...got em from Jaxon, Tabasco, here a couple years ago. Uni foam filters that they put on the Tenere in Australia before selling. Karson did a great write up on them.
