    After market clutch basket kits

    Shouldn't this be considered a manufacturing flaw? My bikes out of warranty being 2015 but just seems so unnecessary.

    Major Clutch Problem

    Seems I may have this same issue. I was lucky though as I was on the freeway when all of a sudden my rear wheel locked up. I heard a bang and some rattling before I realized my rear wheel was in a skid. I was lucky because I didn't crash and cars behind me stopped.

    Hit Air Bag Vest Tether Installed on Tyga CF Tail

    Agreed. I like the Helite. It was a tough call. One thing armor won't do is stabilize your neck when you are thrown to the ground. It's also additional protection even if you have padding or armor. Imagine going over a car or hitting a guard rail. Since my main use for my RC is track...

    Hit Air Bag Vest Tether Installed on Tyga CF Tail

    Well if you end up separating from your bike, it will deploy, that's why it needs to be installed properly. There have been cases where they didn't deploy in a low side, but it also wasn't needed. If you end up going over in a high side, you will want the protection for sure. Good point about...

    Hit Air Bag Vest Tether Installed on Tyga CF Tail

    Recently on a canyon ride with some buddies, a good friend of mine crashed hard with a concussion after hitting a pot hole on the outside of a turn forcing him to hit the side of the mountain. After the ambulance came and took him to the ER, I'm certain the cost of that accident along with...

    Chad Rocks! Air Box Mod Pix and Quick Shifter Notes with Tyga Rear Sets

    Just do it all at once--open lid airbox and and PCv. It sounds meaner without the lid and a Chad's tune makes everything come alive and work cohesively.

    Chad Rocks! Air Box Mod Pix and Quick Shifter Notes with Tyga Rear Sets

    Just wanted to do a followup post since it's been 3 months since I did the QS and PCV. Along with Chad's tune has been the best mod for my bike. I pull away at stoplights so fast at WOT banging down through the gears (GP shift), everyone is just a spec in my mirror as I get to the next light...

    2017 RC390 Released today

    I like the look! The new Duke 390 is very aggressive, I'm liking that too. I wish they would just do an RC690 though. =)

    I think I'm done for now.....hopefully

    One more way to make it even more amazing is to add the Quick Shift to the PCV and set the shifter to GP mode. Kicking down to shift up seems weird but I can shift faster and with the Quick Shift being able to stay on the throttle while upshifting means I'm able to close the gap that the 600cc...

    Power surge/chop when rolling onto throttle

    It takes some practice to get smooth at this. Get some track time in and you'll get a lot of practice. One of the best mods I've done that helped alleviate this is the Power Commander V and Quick Shift option where I can upshift without releasing the throttle--leave it WOT and just...

    Feeling a bit retarded, instructions for belly pan

    Oh I didn't realize that. I noticed that the OEM lower belly has a separate black grill that gets eliminated with this belly. I assume that doesn't affect anything negatively.

    Feeling a bit retarded, instructions for belly pan

    I love the looks of this product. I'm about to order one actually and the price is right for the Fiberglass version. Too bad shipping is so much...50% of the part. What is the main reason for switching from the OEM belly pan to this? Clearance? Looks? Both?

    2015 RC 390 Built (Chads Engine Kit) Race Ready $8500 St Louis MO

    This build is almost exactly where my bike is now and where it's headed. Someone is going to get a really nice bike. It cost me a lot more than the asking price here to modify my bike and I still got a few more thousand to spend to get it to this point.

    T-Rex Frame Sliders

    Its part of the instructions now to reroute the clutch cable. It's been months since I did the install.

    T-Rex Frame Sliders

    Rerouting the clutch cable was a huge PIA. It was the longest part of the slider install for me. I didn't have any issues with clearance, but trying to remove the cable and route it was very challenging.

    Yep I have to agree but I still like them!

    Broken Heel Guards on Tyga Rearsets

    I lost mine too but Matt created a custom piece for me to fix it. I also found parts at my local Ace Hardware for it. The spring for the lever was lost. I put it back and made sure to loc-tite it and it's been great. No issues. Unfortunately i had my dealer install my rear sets, so I wasn't...
