What Did You Do To Your Dual Sport Today? - Page 2

I added digital gauges on both Hawks and put a 45 tooth rear sprocket on mine. That puts me at a 17/45 combo and I can cruise easily at 55 all day and top out at 63ish. Now when I drop the remaining 40lbs (on me) I'm working on (started at 50), that might change a little. Other than that just rode and enjoyed this unusually warm February we're having here in NC.

went out in the pasture and spanked its butt for a little while. more fun than you can shake a stick at.

I had on the FMF Turbine Core 2 for years. I like that unit on the CG motors. On Q though, the OHC (Suzuki) motor had a more "sharp" tone to it. I installed a dB Dawg and it helped, but I still wasn't totally happy with it.

I thought I'd give this unit a try. It's got an adjustable (drillable) baffle so I can do some tuning. It will also pass the Rangers coat hanger test.

One 1.25" to 1.5" exhaust adapter, a little Dremel action, a couple of clamps and viola! So far it sounds good. Not as shrill as the TC2. Deeper tone. I need to get it out and see how it breathes.

2LZ lives on a volcano and that water is going down hill. You are looking at possible washouts and big holes in the road. It is also flooding were he lives and that changes everything on road and off.

It's not the same as riding in a competition or with friends when you have people that can help...

Its been glorious here in Western PA. I spent the weekend building flatpack beds and messing with the carb on my TT250, neither of which were much fun, but I've been taking the bikes to work and the riding's been great.

I need to get around to my sprocket change on the TT250 too, now that it's warmer the bike pulls harder and feels like it just wants to keep revving.

got the new head light, switch clusters, exhaust and some painting done.

next up: carb, intake, and air filter.

i snapped a couple pics while i was out today. the paint doesn't exactly match, but that's ok, i'm painting the rest very soon.

I don't believe mjstef's cluster will fit either your SSR or my Q. The speed sensors and wiring has been designed for the Hondoid, so far. Fortunately, our dash clusters don't really suck and the speedo (at least on Q) is basically accurate.

hertz9753 · 02-22-2017, 10:22 PM

I looked at my bike today. It added 1Hz power and I could almost hear the engine running.

Well my Hawk went to ER last night. She had a clogged main artery. Surgery was needed quickly to restore her deep breathing gasp for oxygen.

All welded up several coats of high temp paint on the exhaust. Got the new cluster added as well. That is amazing! Its basically plug n play. Very accurate speed and mileage count as I checked with my GPS.

Nice job

I had to re-jet to a 115 after I gutted mine. I see you got your cluster straighten out too.
