This place is slow, quit playing video games

Have fun guys! I can't do a damn thing to mine until the spring :crybaby:

When I went down at the track on May 13th, the asphalt gave me a severe shoulder separation. The bike needs so many things done for the next season, I don't even know where to start. I may just bring it to the machanics.



Ouch. That sounds painful.

You bought the bike from Pro6 cycle, right? Is that who you use for work? I'm hoping I don't need to take my bike in anywhere next year, but if I do, I'd rather send it to someone who's actually seen a bandit 400 before.

I'm also going to try and find a shop with a dyno. I'd like to get some numbers from my bike.

It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

Yes I bought it from them and also Pro6 has done work on all my bikes over the years. They are always very busy so get the machine into them during the winter if you can. Pro6 is a very good race shop but they ain't cheap. I've moved out to the country since October so I'll be bringing my bike to someone out this way in Northumberland county. There is a shop called Dan's just about 2 klms from my house and they have a couple of racers/machanics working there and they said they will help me out with anyting I need.

[Damn, G.  That sucks.  Next month, I'll be 3 years post-op from having my labrum reattached w/ 2 screws, my rotator cuff cleaned up and a bunch of floating cartlige removed.  All orthroscopic.  I had surgery 1/30.  By mid-April I was ~90%.  Good luck!!!


It does suck. I'm used to doing stuff. No hockey for me this winter.

I guess I should be looking for some kind of extra protection for this shoulder when on the track. I don't want to smack it again. Anybody got any ideas?

I'd talk to your doc.  I'm guessing extra support (some sort of brace?) will be more important than more padding.  Just a guess tho.  The other option is keepin' the shiney side up!   :stickpoke:

Even a Dianese crash suit only has CE hard armour in those parts. Your shoulder is kind of hanging in the breeze for the most part.

Maybe take some martial arts classes to figure out how to roll at 80+mph? Better option is like Rob said: rubber side down. Best of luck Gary!

Hey Rob, mind if I come over in the spring and borrow your carb sync tool? One of the last steps to piecing this thing together. And about the rear brake: it certainly is less mushy and more solid feeling. The mush was irritating me because it didn't really provide much feel so we'll see. I haven't had the balls to ride it yet since it's been so damn cold!

Going to a friend's garage on Friday night with a sawzall for a body parts harvest for the car. Remember manual tranny drivers: park it in gear!

Pretty handy when you are maneuvering or when something unexpected turns up in a curve... or just to slide the wheel for fun :stickpoke:

finals are january 6th and im done then but then im trying to sign up for bachlers in science/chemistry!? so i got a minute ive just been bored lately i need to get a job its killing me! :stop:


Do you have a degree already and are looking to add a BA in Science/Chem, or is that the degree you've decided to head for?

I ask cuz Boeing is in a hiring mode again after a long spell of virtually no new-hires. Many folks who've been laid-off in the past haven't been coming back (~30% return rate) and they're starting to go out "to the street" for folks. They have jobs in just about every field except religion, so there's probably something you'd qualify for. AFAIK, most of the hiring is for jobs up here in the Greater Seattle area (Commercial Airplanes), but there are major (Defense & Space) facilities in the St. Loius, Phoenix & Philadelphia areas.

well jay,theres a lot id like to be doing for the winter and maybe you can help me out.i posted earlier on today and got replies from pitter B4 and racerruss,thanks lads!ive a 95 B4 and wondering is it the gk73a (i ordered some before and the breaker asked is it the one with single or twin exhausts) model i should swap the cams from,are the gear ratios on the gsxr400 the same as on the B4,should i stick on gsxr carbs,me B4 tops out at 112 m.p.h.(going by the clock pitterB4) is it simply the carbs that cause this? And lastly ill be fitting a buell blast screen i purchased while visiting 'Iron Valley Motorcycles' in lancaster PA in september,took 2 months to get here but for ~$70 as cheap and cheery as chips! thanks lads!
