Default what did you do to your 675 today????

I adjust the chain on my street D675, and for my track only D675, I was adjusting the clutch cable and testing it out up and down my street and pissed off a neighbor. :)

The only way I found to fix the squeak was to disable it or plug it. Take off windscreen and unplug the vacuum tube from the flapper and plug the end of the tube (I used a bolt and electrical tape). There are a ton of threads on this. Fixed and no more annoying squeak at 4500 RPM. That drove me NUTS!

This is a bit late but I've added a few carbon goodies and made a little exhaust clip of CW carbon on my Daytona :)

Reapplied headlight tint (not happy with the first go around). Double checked bolts/screws for lose ones and then I put all the plastics back on.

Now I just need the damn rain to stop. FML

What did you use for the tint? And how hard was it? Any damage to the headlights when you removed the first tint?

I used Lamin-x. I measured the outside of the headlight and its ‘bout 12” wide and 4” at its highest point. They offer sheets in a few sizes, I got the 8”x 16” and cut it half long ways. I believe the one size smaller was 4” x 12” not much room for error. They have multiple shades of smoked and other colors. Its thick stuff also.

No, not hard to get off, just a heat gun. There web site has a video on how to do it, plus the instructions that came with it are spot on. The trick is getting get it warm and soft, because there are some curves on the head light. The first time I rushed it and I had some air bubbles. Also to do it right, I would take off the front fairing. It’s much easier than trying to tuck the tint under the fairing.

You PM if you have more questions.

Ya I saw a car one time with green headlights coming up behind me and once he got close I saw the yellow tint. I laughed my ass off. I have 35w 5k HIDs on both sides and there good, no green.
