Glorious. I can't wait to go out for a ride tomorrow!




Also, the oil screen stopped these magnets from getting into the oil flow. I hope. Not much else I can do except run it out.

That's the good news but here's the bad, I swapped out my cam seal earlier as well as my vtec solenoid and as I tighten the last bolt on the solenoid the bolt fuckin snaps... Fml I hope she doesn't leak entirely too bad :/

Simple answer: Rigidity

Long answer: Rigidity clearly has an impact on a number of critical areas. Any suspension, for instance, no matter how finely calibrated or advanced in design, will be unable to perform properly if the body flexes and bends under loading. Rigidity also contributes significantly to crash protection, and to the build quality perceived in areas like the small gaps between panels and openings.

Developed using the latest computer modeling and Finite Element Analysis techniques, the rigidity of the Type R has been greatly improved in several areas. A new, larger aluminum front tower bar replaces the steel bar on the GS-R, and the addition of performance rods to the rear frame end and rear suspension lower arm add additional strength. Key components that have been reinforced include the rear wheel housing, rear pillar upper garter, rear roof rail upper, rear wheel arch extension, rear lower arm bracket, and rear damper gusset.

^ Excellent answer.


So I went on my ride, it went well for the first hour, but then once I met up with some guys for a group ride, we got about half a mile down the road from Alice's Restaurant, and my front end was going left and right, which happened before, and I knew exactly what that meant.. Flat tire.

Rode back to the gas station there, but it didn't hold air. I just replaced my front tire tube on this bike before it was down for months, so I'm not sure what happened. At least it made it there on my hour long ride.

Another guy had a flat too, so I offered to give him a tow to the cycle shop instead of a tow truck which would take days. Fun day today with no crashes.
