Have you seen this one yet?😁 Watched it yesterday. I could have told them their conclusion before they started, but it was cool to see a TMAX on the track in the US with good riders. I had to wonder why a 530 kit and not a 560 kit and I wish they added a dyno result after the BBK and cams.

I have. Thanks for thinking of me though. Lucass posted about it as well in my T2 thread, which I just moved into this one.

At about 7,000 miles and one plug, it was definitely time for some new rubber. I finally got to try out the No Mar tire changer. These Battlax scooter tires are the reason that I wanted a tire changer after years of using irons. Last time I was in the floor crawling on the tires like a spider monkey and wishing I had more arms trying to get these mounted. Easily the toughest tires I’ve ever changed. Very stiff and they fight you if you’re trying to keep them in the drop center. The front tire went fairly well. Not like the No Mar videos kind of well, but relatively painless. The back tire was no fun. I had to fight the old one off and use tire irons to help me a little. Then I couldn’t get the tire on with the mount bar with the changer. I wound up just using it as a stand to finish with irons. Overall, I’m glad to have it. Being on a stand that holds the wheel and not on the floor or workbench is a nice improvement and the mount and dismount is definitely easier even on the tough tires. With tires not made by the devil himself, it should be pretty simple. Oh, and the bead breaker works very well. Still gotta balance them and change the gear oil and clean some of the scoot that can’t be reached with the tires on, but the hard part is over.

I rode around the swamps with my sport bike friend today. On the way back, we rode through a town for probably 15 minutes. Shortly after leaving the town, I was cruising around 55-60 behind traffic and it started to stumble and bog out if I got into the throttle. Felt exactly like TMAX fever.
The thing is, TMAX fever is supposed to be cured by the later model fuel pump. I installed that about 12,000 miles ago IIRC and have not experienced fever symptoms till today.
I was at 1/4 tank and it was just after riding around town on a 75 degree day, so that seems to match past experiences with fever. Hoping it was a fluke, as even with that original pump, it rarely happened. Couldn’t seem to predict it. I could ride around ocean city for an hour in traffic on a 90 degree day without issue and then get it on a 70 degree day after a brief slowdown.
The other thing that has started happening is bogging if I hit the gas hard at low speed when the tank is low, before the fuel light comes on. Clearly sloshing fuel away from the pump from the way it acts. Maybe I can chalk that up to the fact that it has way more get up and go since mods so I probably couldn’t rock the fuel enough to do it in the past. Not really an issue, but doesn’t give me the confidence to run it down to the fuel light often.
