Same thing happens for my M750.  I can hang pretty good in the tight stuff, but once a straighter section came up the bigger bikes are GONE!

Nice to know ... How are the sauces doing? Offered them to visits?

Need to get my rotors/pads[320mmEBC/EBC] to be able to install the clip ons .. Want to make it a one dissassembly/assembly stop ... At the same time, replace tires[Michelin Power], powder coat DSS, rear spring, replace sprockets/chain[14/48], re-sag/re-adjust height ... Replace brake/clutch fluid ... Give or take, 1K in total, parts/labor ...

I went +2 on my rear sprocket and I am happy with the results, which should be similar to what you want to do.  I lost a little top speed, but I rarely have the chance to hit top speed here, we have lots of tight roads. 

The hot sauces have been offered to many, tasted by a few.  The few that liked hot sauces LOVED them.  They have kept my lunch sandwiches interesting and spicy too!

It's been easier to find a 14T front than a 50T rear .. most of the ones I've found are S/O so I'll go with what's available so minimize cost ... Me I don't do top speed, I know Gina can do 133mph, but, I get bored on str8s ...

Your sandwiches must be real happy that you're eating them now !!!!

pm sent ..

[the_Journeyman]

Thanks for the PM!  I'll keep that in mind!

I was going for +3 rear, but it was out of stock, so I opted for +2 rear.  It's a good balance.  I was running 41, but now have 43.  In 1st gear it will wheelie off of bumps easy.  Top speed is around 110 with current setup.

I've calculated that top speed will be around 155~120mph ...

I haven't been able to lift the front wheel at slow speeds, but, at speed when using the clutch to shift ... without noticing it at first I was wheeling at about 50~60mph, only  noticed when landed ...

Serious about pm ..

Until I get the fueling worked out, I can't be sure of the slow speed response, but get a few RPM and the 750 comes up almost as easy as the 900SS.  I have more fun riding the 750 than the 900 too.

Talking about SS .... still in your garage?

[the_Journeyman]

Yup.   Needs a clutch, hasn't moved in almost a month.  Gotta order the plates & charge the battery and she should be good to go.

Jm, I have a clutch pack I'd be willing to donate if you want it. Its used but it works.

Not as good as new but the price is right.

If I had the $$ she would be in a crate on the way to me ...

[the_Journeyman]

That's true!  I'd be willing to donate back somehow.  I'm planning on selling the SS, its role was a bike to ride while I reworked my M750, and now that the M750 is back and ready to ride the SS is going up for sale.  Think about it, send me a PM and we'll talk about it 

DM620 - The 900SS is a great bike, if you find the funds, you know where to find me!

I'm off to bed folks,  beer laden home-owners association meeting + rum = sleepy

[DarkMonster620]
