cool, i had mine up to about 145 but I could have been going faster. Wind at those speeds gets ridiculous if you're not in fully tucked behind your windscreen haha

Cool, I'd be interested in what the GPS comes up with. I replaced my chain today (Which was waaay beyond the "replace" mark on the swingarm sticker) and I wish I would have done it sooner. The funny noise went away, I no longer have a funny stutter below 3k rpm, and it doesn't slip when under hard accel. Man It's like a new bike again! Now I need to replace the front tire.

OH and by the way, does anyone else have more wear on the left side of the tire than the right? (like the bike is constantly riding just to the side of the center of the tire) I definitely do and I'm not sure why.

Also another curious question, what do you guys have your stock shock set to for firmness?
