What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Gotta find a system that I like. Stuck between the arata and akrapovic. So much money I want to make sure I’m doing what I can live with. I have looked at numerous sound clips but I would like to hear something in real life to make the call.
If you're in Cali you're welcome.to come hear my bike.


With that being said Arata has been very problem ridden and incsnt recommend sending your money there for the problems I've been hearing. I love my exhaust. But I've been in contact with 4 other Arata customers that ordered after I said I loved my exhaust and everything was amazing and they've been sent wrong parts or wrong systems and don't have much recourse in the way of offering to fix them.

Just moved from SoCal to PNW. Might have some plans to make a long trip south but your comment kinda solidifies the akrapovic for me. If you find yourself in the Portland area hit me up!
 
Got home from Disneyland and this was on my front door. I have fixed my clutch issue since I ordered this, but I have an RCS 18 on the shelf so I'll put them both on so they match.

I have both Brembo Corsa Corta and it work like a charm. I could not keep the OEM line for the clutch, had to make a new one.
Neither of kine are corsa cortas I'm not fancy enough for all the adjustability, especially only running a single brake rotor lol. I have a core moto clutch line already as well.

Me neither, but I had a deal on the Corsa so... Anyway, it's great stuff from Brembo!

How do you manage having only one brake rotor? It's something you never see in France, I've never tried a heavy bike with half the braking power and I'm curious :D
 
I rode a whole 170 miles last two weeks so it's time to put the bike back on stands and take it all the way apart for no reason!

Lol I'm really fixing the projector that I put in upside down (don't ask) and getting ready for my woolich QS getting here Monday so I can install that and my air shifter. If everything works out my red core motos will be here this week too and I can get those on.

"... a really fiddly job."

Did you find it difficult to remove the stock riser bolts? Mine are so tight, it feels like the bolt heads might snap off. What issues did you have? TIA
Access to them was difficult until I bit the bullet and removed the panel under the nose cone.
Then access from below with 1/2” extensions and a breaker bar to get them started. Once you have some movement then ratchet them out.
It feels like the bolts should snap, but they’re pretty big and held up fine.
Good luck, it’s a worthwhile change
 
Today? I finally rode her. :D She had been parked since May that the registration expired. :(

Puerto Rico's DMV was going to change to a digital registration in September, so instead of renewing it in May and having to replace the license plate sticker, I patiently waited all these months for the system to go online.

Now my license plate is stickerless and my registration is digitally linked to my electronic toll sticker. We're in the future.

For the first time in my life, I renewed and paid a vehicle's registration through a smartphone app while laying in bed wearing only boxer shorts. :p

I read somewhere this is backwards and specifically recommended against. Work on loosening the nuts, not the bolt.
 
Okay so my report in the woolich QS isn't gonna do much for you guys because I'm in the Maxx and that eliminates the shift lag. But overall the woolich removed all of the slop and squish in the shift lever. It's definitely more direct and a more positive shift. Looks so much better too.

$1,000 of rearsets, quick shifter and air shifter later I have the perfect foot control setup.
