This mod was really simple I thought and now it's time to see what happens at the dragstrip.
This mod took Me 1hr 15min only because I decided I was now going to start useing Synthetic oil and I had to run and get some.
I looked around at the selection and ended up buying "Mobil 1 15W-50" for My bike.
Know before you do this mad your going to get oily!
You have to remove your fairing, pipe, and oil pan with a few oil hoses.
After you pull the oil pan off thats where things start to become a oil mess. Oil from the crank case likes to drip down while your removing the balancer. Nothing that Brake Cleaner wont take care of afterwards.
I put a new oil filter on and then finished putting everything else back together except the fairings. I want to be able to see that theres no leaks after the test run down the rode.
After going out for a ride and making MY evaluation, I know that I'll be having Jay at APE take care of My crank this winter when I do some more internal mods.
There will be more vibration after you pull the balancer out. I don't think it's bad enough to make your hands go to sleep but you definitly know it's different. I think I can live with it untill the seasons over.
I can't remember seeing where anyone said their "et's" before & after the mod?
I'm not going to know what My gains are either because I've done a number of things that should contribute to running faster since the last time I was able to go to the track.(not a good way to do things)
I have just a couple of chances to do some testing before Prostar this weekend, and each one the weather is really going to suc.
90 degree heat and 90% humidity is not good for testing!
Anyway, this mod is done!
