I'm quite the opposite. I hated the look of that upper fairing so mouch I just took it off. The fairing as a whole isn't so bad, but still not as good as pure nakedness. Half naked is just blah, IMO.

I like it meaning it looks like it woud offer some decent wind protection How it looks doesn't really matter to me as I would only see the backside of the bubble and that's what counts.

I'm just hoping there are some decent half fairings I can buy when/if I get a GS. So far all I've seen pictures of are little fly screens or touring winshields. Like I said earlier, an SV-S type fairing would be sweet.

Quote from: coll0412Unrelated question, why do the new carbs have Throttle Position Sensor, is it for the newer style ignition?

Yep! The new ignition controller only takes a crank position information from where the original dual coil was. The TPS feeds the new "box" that is more like an ECU than the original.
I have xrays of the original. No brains to be seen. The OEM manual discusses this a little for the 03-04+ models.

Now for the question that I came up with after reading that; can we hack it?
There is no "service port" on the schematics that I can see.

So does that make Srinath a tool of the devil?  :lol:

Wonder how you kept her busy when....


...gerbil...  :dunno:

i run on the little wheel, expending exuberant amounts of enegery to get nowhare. she finds it entertaining.  I also juggle and have a tap dance rutine in the oldschool vaudeville style that's always good for a few laughs.

OK, I finally polished the exhaust.  And dyed my hair red.  A reasonably productive evening.  Painted the footpegs red, but I won't have time to install them for a while.

You are the only girl I can think of that will have matching hair / footpegs.

That would explain the imfamous G-Pack.  I always figured it was probably an electronic ignition advancer or something along those lines.

Pics of the exhaust? Foot pegs?


What about a pic of the hair too?

No pics of any of those three at the moment.

I do think the bike is running a skosh rich.  Not bad, and it's getting slightly better mileage than it was pre-valve adjustment, but it does have a bit of a bad temper starting up.  I think it's the rejet with that can; I don't think it's less restrictive than the stock GS.  Each cylinder on a TL does push 500ccs, but shares it between two cans, so each can is supposed to pass 250ccs of air, just like the GS500 can.  But since I have that nifty bracket, I can get an aftermarket TL exhaust.

So you are publicly admitting that davipu is right  

Yes, and I'm also publicly saying he's wrong for saying the TL exhaust is less restrictive, so it balances out.   :lol:

tl is 500 cc per can. with a flow through design.  gs is 500cc with a internal baffle.

see I'm good for two things. sex and killing spiders.

Well, I'm certainly internally baffled.  Spiders?

But I still think it'd help the rich if I get an aftermarket TL can.  And you're right, the pod makes working on the carbs easier. I'll get me one of those, too.
