I took the Tiger in to Cascade Moto Classics in Beaverton, OR to have a new exhaust installed. There was nothing wrong with the old one. I just wanted something lighter, better looking, and better sounding. It is all of those things. I can actually hear my motor while riding at highway speed. It was perhaps a frivolous purchase, or vanidoso, as my friend Veronica called it. But, it makes me happy.
And because no trip to the shop goes without a previously unidentified issue, they recommended replacing my chain and sprocket. Not a fun purchase but if it keeps me from getting stranded in Eastern Nevada, bring it on. And as the mechanic pointed out, I did get 26,000 miles out of the original chain and sprocket.
So stay tuned, six days and counting.
