I will clean this up when I have time and then I will wash the bike and make better photos/pictures as well. I just want to get this going, I will organize later. The only complaint currently, is how bad the license plate holder fits my plate.... I will most likely remove that. Any questions or comments appreciated. 1 month ago I loved my stock Stryker.... now thanks to this site and its members.... it is a whole new level of power and performance!

1) I installed windshield - windy and buggy highways here
2) I drilled the 8 1/2" holes - I was impressed with the sound improvement
3) Rear Avon Cobra 240
4) Cobra FI2000R PowerPro Fuel Tuner
5) Cobra chrome belt guard
6) Cobra Powerflo
7) Chrome glow front leds
8) Vance & Hines Big Radius 2:2
9) Star Stryker Speedometer Face

Now, How do I put all those little photos in my signature

















Here is a quick sound clip, watch my face after hearing it for the first time (lol).

Me and my friend started late Friday and finished Saturday morning, overall it was pretty easy installs across the board! The looks, feel, sound and performance is through the roof.... it is literally insane. I am very pleased, I just wish I had more money to complete my wish list... but I will save that for the Spring.

Looks bad eh?

Not a big fan of backfiring.... But I'm loving the overhaul

Thx all!

Next mod should be coming today, got my beanie airbrushed!

Few questions about my pipes....

Should I just add a few more washers to move it out a bit, to help me avoid the pipes?

Does anyone have a similar setup, the back fire/bubbling on decel seems pretty bad.... 1-3rd... It's not enough to take the shine off the performance and sound, but I want to know if my cobra stuff is working properly etc.

The bike is looking good.

This thread is kind of long and goes back to last October but might answer your questions about the pipes and tuner: http://www.yamahastarstryker.com/index.php/topic,1466.0.html

This one should explain how to add the little pictures at the bottom of your posts: http://www.yamahastarstryker.com/index.php/topic,836.0.html

So after two tanks of gas my mileage is way worse....before I would not even get my fuel light until 190/200kms.... Now I'm empty around there!?

Not sure if it's the tire/tuner.... But it's a little surprising

Any thoughts?

Since I've put on my 240....my speedo is now pretty accurate, but my gas mileage has definitely been "corrected" as well.

With the 210 my speedo was about 6mph off.....with the 240 it's almost right on, depending on speed.....now my mpg seems to have dropped by 6mpg.

i don't have a tuner.....

If your speedometer was off by 10 km/h, your gas mileage calculation was off because of it. If your speedometer is now accurate, so is the calculation. If this was the issue, it's not that your gas mileage actually changed at all, just your perception (awareness) of it.

It's off now, before it was accurate... 100kms was 100kms... Now I have to do 80 to be going 100, lol....I bet if I put back the stock tire, problem solved... But screw that

That sucks. Odd that this would be the case. Most accounts say that the 240 yields more accurate speed results, not less.

But going from point A to point B is still the same distance, even if the odometer doesn't agree. Your actual gas mileage wouldn't change unless you changed the actual speed at which you're driving. If you know the percentage the speedometer, and by extension, the odometer is off, just factor it into the calculation. If my odometer says I've gone 150 miles, but I know I really only went 120, then I would use 120 in the calculation.

The first tank I was speeding like a nutbar... Because I didn't know it was off that much, so that made sense... The last time was all highway with the same result....

Either way the performance is insane and I'm loving it, just curious why it would be off so much.

I'll keep track of this tank to see if I am physically getting the same mileage, but different readings...
My work is a 90km round trip, do it won't take long

Nope, it shouldn't take long.
