Thanks. I guess there would be no easy way to test what's in there now? Probably not worth the time, I just don't want to screw up my machine.

I am looking for some aftermarket exhaust, if anyone is selling them let me know and I might take them off your hands for you.

Wow. Most folks move to synthetic oil these days. Likely the previous owner did as well. I would suggest going to synthetic. There are several threads on this site discussion which oil to use. There are several opinions out there. I have been using Repsol.

What about trying a 2006-08 599 cluster i think it might look better since it was designed to be used with a naked sport and it has the cool digital readout and the rpm gauge like Just a thought.

There is a bazillion threads on oil but in short. 1) no it will not "damage" the engine. There is a ton of arguments on which is best and if synthetic is that but better etc. but only a few loons would think that it could be damaged. 2) a good quality motorcycle oil is a minimum. Certainly if you want to the Honda oil is at worst adequate. I run Motul 300V in mine but that is expensive and not for everyone.

hello guys (and gals) I am very new to the Honda street bike scene. I've been riding Harleys for 20 years and riding/racing dirtbikes longer than that. I'm 40 yrs old and just bought an 07' 919. I'm really digging this bike and wish I had started riding one a long time ago. My question, which may seem dumb to some of you, is this...........will a Givi windscreen really help that much on this bike? I just ordered one today...

on going with the synthetic as it is better to switch and be right then to go back to petroleum based and be wrong...

This question is just theoretical. How does one achieve the fastest 0-60 time on a 919? Is it just open the throttle in 1st to redline, and then a quick shift to second to go from ~55-60? Anybody knows what the true tested 0-60 time is? I'm not about to race or anything. I'm just curious so I can brag about my bike and lack of ability to use it's full potential

I am wondering if anyone knows if an 06' 919 subframe is the same as any other subframe from honda? Such as maybe a 900RR or f4 even... OR... is the subframe the 919 has been blessed with exclusive to the 919? I have talked to a couple of dealerships and apparently only confuse them. My goal is to change my entire tail section preferrably to a one piece sharkskin w/ foam seat and all..WooHoo any ideas or info are greatly appreciated.
