So just picked up an F4i, SI cage on! but needs some work for the spring. Its a lot only bike- no streets, but im new to the slow stuff-

1st- needs chain and sprockets- stock are toast. ??? best chain/sprok combo?

Second- right now the stock stay and gauge cluster are on, no headlights or fairing though, whats the best way to clean that up?

Johnny P stay with an acerbis light and plate covering it up? does that work?

 

just take the gauges and stay off if you dont have a fairing

 

If your not going to run a fairing, then don't get a johnny p stay

Just bolt an acerbi directly to the fork

edit: but remount the gauges.. keep them hooked up.. It's good to know when you have oil pressure, fuel, if your bike is overheating, or if its throwing a FI light
not to mention, its a lot easier to be consistent when you can ALWAYS put your bike to a set rpm, and not guesstimate everytime

 

a ton of people i ride with love their -2 +10 gearing... im rocking a -1 +14 and i think its ******* sick! but for learning, i was on a +6 and i was a lot smoother on the trottle.

 

That sounds like what I want to do, and def. makes sense- any pics of this done? Someones gotta have that setup!

 

I dont think I have any good pics


but I usually mount my gauges on the frame rail, where the air intake is on the right side by the air box.. Then use a couple zip-ties to hold them on

keeps them out of the way for stunting, but in site so you can check them out

Think this bracket to mount my gauges would hold up?

 

I tried that, doesnt work well with the acerbis number plate i zipped tied mine to the triple and it's the most annoying thing ever, it's always slipping down. i need to try something else..

 

Why your just going to loop it the first day out anyways Smashed up gauges will just be more parts to pick up off the ground hahahaha...

I just hope this one doesnt look like that ZX9 when your all done...

 

zx9....this one? **** is straight gangsta

 

Im new to the slow stuff and i rock a vortex -1+8 and i love it, still works as a commuter too, but you dont need that. Get a streetfighter headlight and zip tie the guage to the frame next to the intake, works better when the ram air ports are gone if you didnt already rip those off
