    LED headlights. I put them on my 05 636 and what a difference. Not only at night but it also makes the bike look "newer". Great build man.

      @@johnast yo are you in the states and what state if you are? I own a 06 zx6r that needs a little love since i dropped her and broke my collar bone last june. Bike is caged and everything so only cosmetic stuff like fairing were damaged. I think water has seeped through the gas tank since its been sitting garage stored since i went down. If youre interested in the whole bike as a parts bike, lemme know maybe we can work something out.

    Great effort bringing this one back to life. A couple of observations:
    1) First audio track was a bit too Alvin and The Chipmunks.
    2) The blacked out look would have been perfect for this bike, given how bold the fairing colour scheme is. So perhaps black pegs, discs etc next time?
    3) Custom gauge set up is excellent!

    Grab a book or do some reading online about how fuel injection works . Only time you have to touch the throttle with a factory fuel injected "anything" is during operation. Good video my apologies for the scrutiny I think its so funny when someone pumps the peddle or twist the throttle trying to start anything fuel injected. You were right the first attempt cycle the key 5 to ten times to prime the fuel system
