Day 2
#12



So I figured I would finish this ride report with a day 2 since I found out a few things. I dressed a little warmer today with a ski turtleneck, and left a little later in the morning, letting the temperture rise a bit more. I headed North, but this time I straddled the NY/CT border then up into NY. I was trying to log another 150 miles but failed. I guess I was sore from yesterday. I was able to do 110 so not bad. So what I didnt tell you all about yesterday was the check engine light came on a couple of times. The first time it came on I was do for a refill so I stopped for gas. When I turned the bike back on it was gone. The second time it came on it was directly after I got on it kinda hard. I was almost home so I kept going. I got home and turned it off and then turned it back on and it was gone. I was scratching my head over this. So I kept thinking about all the possibilities and after exhausting all ideas I went to sleep. I awoke around 2am remembering that although I disconnected the o2 sensor and put in the o2 sensor eliminator I had failed to plug up the o2 hole on the Ryujin exhust. So this morning I got a 12mm extra fine thread bolt and screwed it in before my day 2 run. I went 110 miles at all different RPM's and the check engne light never came on. Problem solved!
The second thing I noticed was that when I cracked the throttle hard in first gear the wheel comes right up! The first time it caught me by surprise and my right hand semi slipped but I recovered. The second and third time I was prepared and the front wheel came right up! Aside from that I had another perfect day with my half-way point at the Titicus Resovoiur. I decided to stop for another Photo opp, this time with the sun behind me so the bike got some nice light.

Gotta say this again - this bike has gobs of Torque! Big Grin
