i was taking a on ramp, completely leaned over, then came up on a dead carcass. i stood the bike up from being leaned over, and avoided the critter, but when i went to re adjust for the corner i was going way to fast, and went wide, hit the guard rail with the left side of the bike. nothing major. just scratches on the side fairing and bent fairing stay on the lower left side.

didnt go down. didnt do anything. just need to check my corners farther ahead.

got my shifter right, and its GP shifted now.......

dont know what it was but its all good now. just tinkered with it, and it fixed itself i suppose......

how much you want for the rod stock? i may pick it up just in case.....

You may have had one end adjusted out or in too far.

glad you walked away... upgrade your rider mod and that won't happen next time (<3)





--- on a similar note.. just ordered my GP shift rod.

edit: need to go to cycle world sometime this week and pick up the correct parts for my frame sliders.

I wonder if the Tech 3 Yamaha team is going to get a name or theme change?
seeing that both riders are Texans and all
"The Texas Tornado and Elbowz reppin' the Great State"
