What am I even saying? I don’t know either! Finally this ridiculously long holiday is ending!
That’s incredibly good news! The annoyance has been so bad I’m leaving my voicemail on until tomorrow! You won’t reach me—sorry!
I can’t get any work done! Seriously!
Fuji track day is done, and next week it’s touring time! The bike’s been running great lately.
Finally it’s nice riding weather, so I want to get out there and ride hard during this season.
Our new guy “Jaguar” is our hope. He’s got zero experience—I’m curious to see how far he’ll progress.
I’m looking forward to it. With the RVF400 in perfect condition, I wonder how many people he can pass at Hakone…
Or will he chicken out? That’s what I’m excited to see. I’m worried he might lean too hard and crash, so I’ll keep it light.
But…
RVF400 ’99 model
Tires: Pilot Power 120/60-17 measured 2.5 kPa (1835 mm) · 150/60-17 measured 2.5 kPa (1920 mm)
Pads: Giugiaro Type C (I really wanted to use Metallica, but Spec 3 wasn’t available, so I gave up!)
Master: Brembo OEM 16Φ semi-radial
Chain: DID 520VM (converted from 525 to 520)
Sprockets: Front Sunstar 15t × Stealth 40t (STD 38t) 520 conversion
Engine oil: Newtech NC50
The rest is light maintenance with fresh fluids! I’ve done all the lubrication and everything. Once I modify the air cleaner box and set up the carburetor,
I think there might be a bit more punch up top…
Has anyone gotten around 70 ps out of an NC35?
What we’ve got now is plenty!
Man, the 400 is the best!
