Great job out there.

I have a feeling most guys on this forum wouldn't ride their 2T bikes this kind of distance.

In my younger days (like 15-20yrs ago), I rode my TZR/TDR on 1000mi long weekends out to eastern Oregon every year.  I never found it too physically uncomfortable, but filling gas every opportunity possible, and worrying about a seizure all day (etc) was really mentally fatiguing.

A few years ago, I worked with EE on my RD350LC. Great guy, and few know more about Yamaha twins than Ed.

Haha, just watched the vid and there's a pic of my TDR in there!

That's Martin Johnson.

He made the pipes on my TDR, and is one of the nicest, most helpful fellas you'll ever meet.

My buddy Josh just received a set of Indo pipes. Not this same brand, tho.

So far he seems pretty stoked on 'em.

Hey dudes.

I'm outfitting my new garage/shop, and shopping hydraulic or pneumatic motorcycle lifts.

I bought a Aplus four-post car lift, and it looks like they make a good motorcycle lift, but it's probably way better than I need.

Anyone got an opinion about motorcycle lifts?

Hang in there Wade.

Hopefully Dennis had a solid will and trust. After losing my Dad in '23 I really found out how important it is.

Damn. 

Sending positive vibes from Portland.

2024 Triumph Street Triple RS

From the SFRC Bol d'Oregon 6hr Endurance race last Sunday.

We took 1st in vintage, and clocked the most overall laps.

315 laps/220.5 miles in 6hrs. 🤙🤙

Pretty common in my experience.

Make sure the axle adjusters are even, the chain run is straight, and split the difference.

The tight bit will wear faster than the loose bit, and it'll all even out in the end.

Looks great, Tim!

Still a ways to go on my new garage/shop, but we're getting there.

... and I know whatcha mean about old men and their hoarding. My dad's shop and yard down in CA was FULL of stuff. Tractors, old hit n' miss stationary engines, electronics, the contents of my grandma's house, etc. You name it, he had five of 'em. Most of 'em broken. 

#20 stock pilot jets are too small. They generally run better and are less prone to blockage with #22.5

Also make sure the inline fuel filters at the carb fuel inlets are clean.

Neither may fix your problem, but both are known troublemakers and easy to address while you're in there.

I'm thinking maybe not jemco because his headpipes usually have a straight section in them. 0.02

I agree
