Nice! Bike looks great in the foreground of the snowcapped mountains. :great:robertv said:FINALLY was able to get out pre Mother's day after getting lots done like new radiator guard, silicone hoses and clamps, valves adjusted & throttle bodies synced. Felt so good to get out after being out of commission for a month+! Ride feels almost new again, just waiting for new suspension parts to come in.
Weekend temps hit upper 80s, so took a nice scenic and cooler weather break at Hyak ski area on Snoqualmie pass...
Turns out a. their stuff is really well made b. packaged very well c. no duty charges d. best darn instructions from the far east i've ever seen [see attachment]
I hear ya. Started out intending to do just a timing belt / water pump etc job on an RX300 Lexus. The "while you're in there" list of parts / procedures got awfully long. Even getting good deals on parts and labor, it was a chunk. It better be good for another 100K!Jon said:Well I started with needing new fork seals. Since I needed new fork seals I figured I would get Traxxion AK-20 kit. I figured if I was doing the AK-20 I might as well get the Penske shock while I was at it. :rotflmao:
So since I was already doing the suspension work, I realized that the valve adjustment needed to be done as well. So since this was now on the table, I am going to be changing out all the fluids, wheel to wheel, along with the front brake pads.
After all this, should be good to roll down the road for a while!
Today I finally installed the shifter bearings by Murph. The bearings were a lil sloppy as some have stated. I put some sleeve retainer on the outside of the bearing and it seemed likes its good to go. Re-installed shifter, torqued to 120in lbs ( Murph says 8-10ft lbs 
) I don't trust a ft lb tq wrench that low hence I used a inch lb one. It definitely is tighter!! Tomorrow I ride!

I never get mine down to the cords like that but that is just plain awesome mileage from a rear tyre. :beerchug:turbojoe78_MA said:Boomer said:
Bike had 6405 miles when I hit something on the highway going 70 mph and had to change both front and rear rims and tires. (oem bridgestones)
I installed a set of Angel GT's with the new (to me) rims and got 10,358 miles out of the front and just changed out the rear at 31,155 miles.
I've owned the bike since new, 11/15/15 and this is only the 3rd rear tire to go on it. I believe we have very smooth roads in the northeast.

Thanks and good questions:@Road Runner - Congrats on the achievement!
Capture (share if you like) while your saddle is still sore, what worked well / what you would do differently.
How many miles out of your set of RS 3? My rear is about done at under 4K.
where did you source those? I need to put those in place before the next tire change. Mine are showing some wear
