collected this on Friday and I’m seriously in love coming from an mt07 (great first biggish bike) to this is next level. When the Coronavirus is over and the summer is here I’ll be even happier! I’ve just joined this forum and wanted to ask a Quick question though - does anyone ever a get a running hot type smell from their Gsxs’s? Temp is bang in the middle and runs perfectly just get a hot radiator type smell sometimes at lights on when pulling up at home??
The hot smell (at least on my bike) is coming from all of the road grime (rubber, asphalt, oil, etc.) that gets thrown onto the cat by the front tire....the cat gets HOT and literally cooks anything that touches it.
It's easy enough to check out, just get your face down next to the bike frame above the cat the next time you park the bike after a lively ride and get a nice big whiff of the hot air rising off of the cat.

Been cold and windy for a long time. Today the sun was shining and shelter in place goes into effect at midnight. For these reasons, I went for a ride on my lunch break today. In Texas you are required to take a photo of your baby in the Blue Bonnets when they bloom in the springtime, so I did.

A pic of my GIXER K5 as well which I've had for 13 years.
I have spent the entire morning searching for a Toby steering stabilizer. Finally finding Nitron, they sent me to K-tech, no one has them. 3 weeks to order - his best price was $495. I pleaded for a Covid 19 discount, was declined. Thinking about it, I called back, told him about the Forum...
Had the 46 on last year and put the 16 on today. First impression is that engine braking has increased. 3rd gear feels like an extended 2nd gear and 4th gear like an extended 3rd. It is buzzier than before, or just more urgent feeling. There is a sort of hum/whine around 130km/h in any gear even...
I did 205 miles today through West Utah mountains and desert.
Today's route was Utah 201 west to I-80 west. SR 138 to Grantsville, Mormon Trail to SR 199. SR199 west over Johnson's Pass, with some nice twisties and beautiful tarmac. I took SR199 to Dugway, then headed north and looped...
Hello
Has anyone installed a Power Commander 5 and set it up with maps for each gear?

Has anyone done this?
Help please?
