redliner172,

I saw a few guys you ride with today. Green ZX6, Gray Katana and a few others. Gray Katana followed me and my buddy into Mansfield.

I saw them at 875 and 157. They followed us to the light at Venus and they pulled off.

Were those your friends?

Did a 200 mile loop today. Everything went great until I got a staple in my rear tire (40 miles from home). Luckily, one of the guys had a tire repair kit. I plugged it and rode home at the speed limit (that was very difficult).

I have ridden as high as 195 in traffic which isnt so bad if the seat wouldnt be burning. You would think vapor lock would kick in at some time. Anyway, just wanted to see what you guys were doing to cool things down here.

netty2424
06-17-2011, 07:02 AM
I rode for a couple hours yesterday with temps just shy of 100 and it wasn't too bad. I recently installed a right side scoop and it makes a huge difference in my opinion. I rarely ever ride with shorts on, but was just out cruising country roads, so I wore shorts and was fine.

Now if I'm riding hard(by my standards), I'm fully geared and that can get a little warm, but not too bad.

Another thing to consider, if you're in Dallas in stop and go traffic, thats not for me. Too hot because the heat just permeates up your legs. But out on country roads the heat is fine as the scoop helps redirect the heat.

Paloma1974
06-17-2011, 03:51 PM
True, true..

I have an 1125CR, so its amazing the heat that comes up now. Its been recent that I replaced the coolant with redline water wetter. I burped the cooling system just to make sure there were no air pockets and that the fans kicked in. She did better this afternoon around 1130 or so. I'll see into next week with 100 degrees here in San Antonio. Also bought header wrap and insulation for the frame.

Considering the STT and the Firebolt look exactly the same... I'm pretty sure I know the difference between a firebolt and a lightning. Anyway, it was at 114 and 51.

Just bought my first Buell a few weeks ago. Been waiting for 16 years since I sold my Sporty when we started having kids. She isn't perfect but she is mine. She has some scuffs from "being dropped". Looks more like laid down at low speed. Two questions for you all. First, I would love to hear suggestions for good rides in the Crowley/Burleson area. Second, when I flip my kill switch on my fuel pump starts but now it doesn't kick off before I start her up. Instead it sounds like it just runs slower. I have read on the forums that this could be chaffed wires but I have never pulled a fuel pump. Any suggestions for a good mechanic in the DFW area?
