No 'good will' repair for 2008 R3


Ok. I need to learn about TORS, the cat delete and crossover, best air intake option, and tuning.
If I get the floorboard mods done, that will help a lot. What has me worried is this thrust gap in the driveshaft linkage. The other drive shaft bike I had ridden was 20 years ago, a Honda and it's linkage was pretty tight. I have not checked the final drive level yet but plan to asap.
 
So my last bike was a 2017 suzuki m90. Bought it new. Came with a 1yr factory warranty.

I got to 1yr 4 months and a heatshield on my exhausts just falls off the bike. Thankfully not while I was riding as it easily could've punctured my tire.

Took it to the dealership and suzuki refused to replace it due to being out of warranty.

New heatshield was $200 and backordered...

That was when I was done with suzuki
 
Ok, 75 to 80 at 3000 rpm is about right then. I wish the 5th ratio was a bit taller but I can live with it. Does yours have a power lag (gap) between thrust input and final drive output?

Nope & I as well as others run a taller Bridgestone excedra max 255 (standard, not touring) on rear making for a slightly taller gear

Re "I failed to note what the engine # the change was."

I THINK all the Triumph part's listing references to Engine numbers for specific parts are actually referring to the last 6 digits of your VIN. Engine numbers do not match and are different. Any confirmation?
