New to forum first big v-twin

Post by SteveVTRLMK »

New to Honda's vtrs and big v-twin swapped a ALP 650 for this.

It's a gen 1 25,000 miles on tank.

Standard exhaust but have been modified the baffles are gone so it very throaty. Love the low down grunt

Welcome...I'm glad its not a farter er I mean a fighter...Shame it's teal though... :lol: :lol: :wink:

Read this... viewtopic.php?p=304637#p304637

The first bit about using the forum in general.

More importantly the second bit is all about what to look for mech wise... CCt's, Reg/Rec & often overlooked shock linckage... Sort tose then start the mods...

Best one is apply R-147... :lol: :lol:
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

I getting on to the cct and the RR

It was red I think see some of it in places. I have been on a ALP 650 and a tdm 850 for few years leaning over q tank again an odd feeling but the rush of that motor is something else.
