    I recommend you to back track & install the rubber seal that is on the OEM gas cap seal I have installed this myself most other videos leave out the rubber seal good thing you realized which is very important without it there is a slight space between the cap itself allowing air debris & water in the order in which to install it plastic OEM base first then put the OEM rubber seal on top of the walls of the plastic base it’s perfect size then install the gas cap & as you tighten the gas cap down it will press into the seal creating the perfect seal I see that you tried to insert it from the top I’m not sure if you went back & put it underneath I would definitely recommend it Keep it up !

    Haha good eye man! I actually did. I edit it out though. I had to remove the gas cap completely, insert the rubber seal, and re insert the gas cap. While tightening down the gas cap the rubber seal would move a little out of place. But I kept it in place on the last ratcheting turns and the cap pressed it in place. It’s not going anywhere.

    Thank you man! I’m planning to install the Spider rear sets first, and once I install them I think I want to change to GP Shift. If I do I will make a video doing it. Just remember that if I do change to GP shift I will do it using my Upmap. This will apply only to RS660’s equipped with an Upmap. For the ones that don’t have an Upmap, the shifter flip will be the same, but the update to the ECU will have to be done at their dealer.

    When I first installed it and went for a ride without earplugs, my ears were ringing and it was unbearable to ride. I stopped at a shop and bought earplugs so I can continue riding. After a few rides I stopped wearing earplugs and it didn’t bother me anymore. No ringing. I either got used to it or I went deaf and I don’t know it lol. Bottom line is, I don’t use earplugs.

    What's the benefit of these levers?

  • @ALFAVITAGA

    @ALFAVITAGA

    5 ай бұрын

    They fold during a crash instead of breaking and you can continue your race if the bike is still operational. If they do break, there is higher aftermarket availability compared to stock levers. Therefore you don’t need to wait months before the manufacturer supplies you with a stock replacement. They have the ability to connect to a remote lever adjustor, to compensate for braking fade. Some change their master cylinder that comes with aftermarket lever. For some it’s how the levers feel on your fingers while braking. Last, they look better in black, so better aesthetics. Non of these reasons are important reasons for a “normal” street rider. But all acceptable if they choose to change them. ✌️

    It’s louder than it should be. It was too late to correct it as I had already uploaded it. I’m surprised it took 8 months for someone to comment this. That was all I was thinking about when I heard it on KZread and I thought the comments would be full of this. But as the channel grew, I learned more on editing plus I added a body mic for better voice recordings.
