i had intentions of adjusting the rear shock and cleaning it....but, that didn't happen. i'm house sitting and have to stay here at the house so i've been surfing everything on the site since 1pm. addicted? no. not at all.

 

Went to Pure Tuning to get new Yellow Light Bulbs and then came home and put them in, then went and did a photo shot at a closed road...then went to subway and came home and put her to Bed!

 

Cleaned all the bug off and lubed the chain. Washed the guts to my helmet also. It was well needed.

 

First oil and filter change since I got my SV. It was the first time I ever changed the oil on anything. It was pretty easy and went well. Suzuki filter and Rotella 5W-40.

 

Drove mine in to work this morning.... stopped at a Rotten Ronnies (aka McDicks) and was told they do not serve Motorcycles at the drive through...


I've been going through drivethroughs at many different McDicks shops and other places with the window.... this is the first time some knob tried to tell me no motorcycles....

Unless this semi retarded immigrant kid doesn't understand english well enough to determine the difference between BICYCLE and MOTORCYCLE

I've heard of walk ups and bicycles not being allowed to use the drivethrough... but never motorcycles...


fuggin w@nkers..... ah well I guess I'll stick to Tim Hortons in the morning... the price is the same but it is a better product....

Sue them....it's the American way!

 

I've had that happen to me too. I even had a passenger who was doing the transaction and the lady said we had to go inside.

Haha Rotten Ronnies...great.

 

Mc-D's sucks (except for the coffee) and I always prefer to go inside than through the drive-through anyway.

You could always have made it more trouble than it was worth for them, insist to see a manager then insist to see the policy in writing

yeah.. I just wanted a couple egg mcmuffins... you know the ones that actually use a real egg and not that powdered crap... I'm not the biggest fan of most other McDicks stuff....

Can't stand their coffee though... good thing... I'd imagine it'd be hard to hold that between the legs and drive at the same time

 

Gave a thorough cleaning to the chain

 

lost a cylinder in the rain!!!

 

You better go back and pick it up! :nana:

 

Installed new Race Tech fork springs and 20W fork oil over the weekend. Put on a full set of leathers, took the SV over Ortega Highway to work this morning. God my life does not suck.

 

Not to sound like an idiot, but can the springs be installed WITHOUT removing the forks from the triples?

 

Today, I installed a Two Brothers slipon...sweet.

 

I installed my CrampBuster.

Gonna test it out tomorrow morning on the way to work. A nice 15 miles of highway should provide ample testing ground for it going to and coming home from work.

My hand starts to get a little funky feeling in the last 3 miles or so from gripping the throttle and holding it. Just from sitting on the bike and rolling the throttle with this thing, I think it's gonna work great.

 

You will like it. Best lil piece of plastic for long rides

 

Rode over my brothers, talked for a while, rode over chevellefan's house, ran into a little rain along the way and hung out there for a while then came home. It was a nice might ride. No traffic!

 

You rode over your brothers and a guy's house?

 

Last night I removed everything off the sub frame. I plan on swapping the shock this week, and shopping for a race tail. Then I will have a buddy make an led taillight/turn signal for it, and make a undertail for the race plastic.

 

welded the top-box frame back together

 

Took my front wheel off and took it to get my Conti Race Attack put on. Got it home to find that my jack leaked down, good thing the tie downs to the celing held.

 

Rejetted with dynojet's less than adequate kit. Lost time in the engine and spent all day finding it. Then put the new cams in and the old intakes in the exhaust. Put the covers back on and the carbs back in. Still waiting for the in-lbs torque wrench. What a tedious job.

 

Installed my new PIAA H4 Xtreme White plus bulbs and my new Driving lights. Everything went OK, except for after I got the driving lights hooked up and applied power to them I got no light, so I emailed the company I got them from and just waiting to hear back from them.

Hopefully when I get everything working it will make all the night riding I do a little less stressfull.

 

Spent another 5 hours today pulling out the wiring and re-doing everything. I basically ended up re-making the factory harness and only using the stock connectors, but now everything works like it's supposed to.

My new harness. I followed the factory harness through the frame up by the steering stem.

All that I cut out of the stock wiring

I followed the brake lines up into the fairings

The finished product. Overall I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I took my time. On all of the connections I used heat shrink connectors and then wrapped the connectors with heat shrink tubing, so hopefully it will last a long while.

I'm open to any input as to anyways to make it better, although I have no electricity in my garage, so soldering the connections isn't an option.

 

Washed, waxed, and cleaned the chain

 

Studied the 650 for a while, contemplating a sidecar for the winter months.
The 650 has the more tubular frame which would be better for the mounting points.
Crusty

 

I watched it get loaded into a trailer and hauled off.

 

 

Replaced the headlight bulb and checked the tars.

What's the matter with your bike, Harry?

 

Some phucking electrical gremlin I for the life of me cannot figure out. It will not start.
A local racer I know does bike work on the side for cheap will help me out. Picks up the bike in his trailer and doesn't even charge for a pick up or drop off.... he's a cool cat.
Should have it back in a week or so because he's super busy.

 

Stripped what was left of the gauges off removed the body of a dead baby mouse from under the seat. Joy. :angry1:

 

Installed the Delkevic stubby! Also finally got to hear what it sounds like with no exhaust. Awesome.

 

Got it inspected finally.
