This is my story with "vader".
I bought this bike with 32k miles 3 years ago.
Had a stalling issue when taking off. (Was a split wire).
On the first year I got 2 new Pirelli diablos, and front brakes pads, corbin front seat and installed hid (low beam and high beam) and led wedge bulbs inn the corner. And a danmoto gp slip on pipe.
2 years ago I had my bike run for a little to warm it up before I head out. Came out of the house and the bike was running at 240 something degrees (can't remember exactly).
Thought I was screwed. Maybe new engine?
Had no money at the time, but this summer I did.
I made the pipe shorter (gp look) changed a little bit of it. The bike was running poor but thought it could be bc of the short pipe.
I replaced the thermostat, water pump, hoses, and had everything locktite.
The got all short intake boots, new plugs, tre mod, pair mod, smog block off plates, new battery, full titanium micron serpent exhaust connected to my gp pipe. Pc3, k&n filter, all new plastics (old ones had gouges and scratches everywhere). Rear pads, rear bearings, new sprockets (-1 up front) and 520 chain, painted my tank, blacked out my blinkers, and new levers.
Finally got my bike dyno'd. Base like was 146 whp & 68 lb ft.
After a custom tune I got a great bump to 157whp & 76lb ft !!! SAE
With over 35k miles on it, I'm pretty happy with the results.
Now I just need to do about 6 more small things and the bike will be...new? Might as well be.
Also thinking about getting some forged wheels.
So.... Without further ado, here is my baby so far -
