I went over to my SM, looked at it, turned away, and walked over to my special shelf reserved for special KX500 parts....
I pulled down the box with my MZB stuff, opened it, and pulled out all the pieces.
I carefully unwrapped all the pieces and unfolded the directions.
I then took pics of everything... no biggie, you've seen it all before.
Was gonna post them anyway but my web host is having problems and I couldn't upload without a crash  :x
So, nothing new to post...

I wondered if they had.
I know Alward25 said they were making some changes a while back..
I don't remember the specifics...

I took the SM for a few cruises this weekend.
After eating up a few less desirable (Harleys... Don't know why I bother but it's fun) I finally got to do some stop light to stop light action with a 2012 zx600rr.
It became clear that I could launch harder... every time.
Could be that years of dirt riding gave me a edge or he was just a bad rider...
Never made it to the freeway or it would have been over with quick.
But I'd like to see at what point I get my side covers blown off...
Any takers in the Eugene OR area?

Playing with Gearing Commander today.
With my current set up at WOT in 4th gear I hit 81mph, not hunched over, by satellite.



I think that is about right for a basically stock engine..
