Got the raising dog bones on with the new bearings. Shortened and riveted the chain and adjusted the slack. New ebc hh rear brake pads. Still need to install shorter rear brake line and bleed.
I'm in the middle of replacing my throttle side housing pin. I broke the original twisting grip puppies on. I ordered the aluminum replacement part from Brocks. Expensive for what it is but Suzuki doesn't sell the pin part separately so the Brocks part ends up saving a lot of money.
Pain in the butt getting everything clear to install it because you need to get the throttle sleeve off. But it's off. Just waiting for the part now, out for delivery.

Got my rear brakes sorted, new line and pads. Tried setting the suspension but my measurements don't correlate to anyone else's. Tried setting sag to 1/3 of total unloaded suspension length but I have all preloads backed all the way off and still can't get enough laden sag front or back. I get about 12% front and 18% rear. My measurements from the fork dust seal to cast fork leg are 4.7" full extension, 3.9" static sag, and 3.3" laden sag. I'm not sure if my RaceTech springs altered the total fork travel or not so I used the listed 4.7".
Also changed the oil.

I finally finished everything up. Bike is detailed, brakes bled again, fairings all back on. It seems good, the suspension is stiff, it handled well but felt like it was riding on train tracks on one specific road. I think the forks are pretty good but the back was a little firm. I made an appointment at Trackside Suspension on 8/21 for a baseline setup. They basically set the sag and give recommendations for rebound and compression settings. The +4 rear sprocket and raising links make the bike much more lively. I switched the master cylinder from 18 to 20 as I like a little more initial bite. With that and a few small bubbles out of the front lines they should be good. Now I have to get out and get used to riding this thing again.

Is the shock stock or modified and how does the spring rate compare with your weight? The stock spring handles a 220-230lb rider or so.
Regarding tracking the road, some here may be able to feedback if your current tires and inflation rate may be affecting this too. Just another holistic thing to consider if you have not already.

I believe the rear shock is stock. I'm 195 in gear so it should be able to get dialed in well. It seemed great on the freeway this morning. I run 34 psi front 36 rear.
I did notice the Speedo is way off now, unless everyone was driving 95 this morning. Is there an adjustment for this in ecu editor?

You'll need one of these to adjust the speedo. No capability in ecu editor.
As I was cleaning up the bike I noticed the bottom rear front fender on the left side was broken very close to the bolt. Cleaned it up and applied some good glue to it and put it back in place. I’m doubtful it will stay attached as it’s a small corner with a bolt that’s part of the fender. We’ll see. I’ll reattach the fender when the chain kit arrives as I’m going to ride it into the shop w/o the left side fairing to have the sprockets replaced.

Factory pro shift star and upgraded detent spring. I was unsure the first time and forgot loctite on a few places, so when I was done and only had 1st and 2nd, it gave me a chance to totally redo it! Lol
All done and cleaned up. The bike almost snaps into gear. Very crispy. Power wheelie first, grab 2nd and then third clutch less with little effort. Only downside is doing 100+ on surface street this morning lol

Beautiful!
Had the chain and sprockets replaced along with new Schnitz Cush drive rubbers. Nice and smooth now.
Supposed to be a bit higher to push the air further up your body from the chest to the head basically....a helmet is more aerodynamic than the torso.
