Cvc, in BC Canada (government run) insurance costs are based on the value and the size of the engine. Some bikes are written off simply by the bike falling over and the fairings damaged. That’s why I only insure my bikes 3 months at a time.

Howdy
What risers are those?
Maybe I should do that for the X1 instead of S3 Bars?

Victory, I have some straight S3 bars you can have free for the price of the shipping from Canada if you want. They are the black ones in the picture with the broken triple tree.

Thanks/ going to make a note. Bike is on the the table until spring. Then Ill get to that part. If we get a drought in the midwest and warm weather maybe I can sqeeze the Bosch FI testing and fuel pump clean up in march/april.

FYI dont put off changing your Intake Seals. Get the New Style Thicker ones every two years.

"thicker ones every two years."

Oof, no thanks. I'll do that leak test to see if they need changing, but that is an awful thing to be doing that often, haha.

I pulled the Throttle body on my 06 (35,000 miles) Uly last summer - assuming the seals were due to be changed. They were the original seals. The seals were still compressed and sealing well - they didn’t need to be changed. The injector o-rings, however were very hard and had significant evidence of leakage.
Changing seals on a tube-frame is easier than an XB, but if assembled correctly, they shouldn’t need to be changed very frequently. I have a few Tubeframes that haven’t had the seals changed in over a decade, but have no “leaking intake” symptoms or behavior.
I think mileage accumulation might be more of a factor than time.

Yeah I wasnt thinking. Every two years with stock James parts was the old saying. The thicker ones are a problem solver. Should last way longer. Looks to be about 25 percent more runner there.
