The wife's new race bike.

Lunch time job.
New All Balls fuel pump in and swapped in longer hoses for the big tank. I'd have honestly preferred an OEM pump but they only sell it as an assembly and it's like $400+ 😲
And this was $74...
It's a bear to work with the FI hose! I finally warmed it up with a heat gun and that seems to be the only way to fit it over the barb fittings.
Honestly I might have come out ahead in frustration to spend the extra $ and get the complete TUSK assembly with the longer hoses & just slide that in.



Fishing the pump and hose assembly through the tank however was still a bit of a faff, but easier since this was the 4th time...

It just looks right with the bigger tank. 🤩

I’m sure the cosmetics are only a small part of the work you did on this, but I LOVE it. I vote no graphics.

(This is just a note for me)
So I finally got around to changing the front sprocket.
OEM is 14-51 (3.64)
Turns out someone had already swapped the front to a 13 (I didn't know this) so it was already low (3.92)
I swapped a 53 thinking I'd make it a little easier for her to climb stuff, this made it super low (4.076)
I bought a 14 thinking I'd be a straight swap.
But it turns out it'll gear it down (numerically) from her initial test ride.
14-53 (3.7857)

Hopefully this will be a good compromise of a little extra climbing ability over stock and less jumpy right off throttle for her.

The other thing I did was back the tension off on the throttle cable so it has a little more Freeplay. This should also help the jumpiness she's felt just at the beginning of throttle take-up.
