Finally got to ride it after my first TB balance effort...seems like it runs smoother, but I could just be imagining it since it wasn't too far off when I started the work. Once I got it warmed up a little, rechecked my TPS adjustment I did earlier this year and had to adjust it up...was kickin in at 1300...now it's at 1450/1500.

 

did you check throttle lever gap on the rear TB before adjusting?

 

Fabricated some custom N style mirror block off caps

 

FINALLY re-glued my turn signal.

 

Started painting my wheels. Will finish tomorrow.

 

what kind of paint are you using?

I hung my bike, and took out the old shock and started to install my ne gsxr shock, and realized i didnt have the bottom bolt, so i went and ordered on form local shop should finish next week. Also stated paint my other fairing and changed my paint design again

 

today? just rode it
yesterday? got it going again. found what was keeping it from running on saturday, got it all together yesterday. meaning... wiring to get the taillight to work, mounted the shock res, mounted the battery/ignitor/fusebox/etc - basically, everything that was under the tail is now under the seat.

 

Parked it on the side of the road and talked nicely to the officer while he wrote me a ticket.

 

stared at her while I walked into the house... Need to get a few more miles on her before I head out the door to the desert...

 

started prep for cam swap, fitting new chain and sprocket

 

Well, this was last night but, I loosened the tube handle bar and rotated it rearward a bit in affect dropping it a couple of inches and moving the controls back too. It's makes it a bit sportier ride... not so upright.

Then just adjusted the controls(levers, ignition, killswitch, horn... all that) to my liking. Then re-adjusted the throttle and brake...

Then rotated mirrors to be useful again. Tighten everything and BAM!

Looks and feeels much better.

 

I looked at it while installing the second starter in my 4Runner in 5 months

 

Haha... sry.

 

installed k2 intake cams in my k3 (exhaust side)

 

Installed my Jardine FE kit.

 

cut & buffed it. she shines really nice now!

 

-removed my (once beautiful) busted windscreen
-swapped out the broken clutch lever
-put on a used front fender
-drilled the shifter peg to put a bold through it
-rode it down the block

overall, it was a good day

 

Winterized it

 

sv1k snorkel in preparation for PCIII, some custom barman handlebars I found. Tomorrow - pull top triple tree, reinstall headlight brackets, and finish handlebar switch.

 

Friday night: slapped on a new Pilot Power Pure rear tire.
Saturday: scrubbed in said tire, arrived home to find new Shorty levers in the mailbox, Installed levers

 

Installed shorty Leo Vince exhaust...

 

Dropped it on the left side, front fairing has a 1 inch crack in it. Busted the mirror, turn signal and clutch lever.

Too much gas in fresh lawn resulted in this little mishap...

So this is time for flushmount front turn signals and black levers! And a stock mirror...I don't sh*t $$$..

 

Saturday: Took it in for service.

Sunday: Changed the oil.

 

Finally got the rear suspension dialed in and then went for a killer ride....

Oh wait, that's what I *wanted* to do ..... spent 12hrs re-landscaping the front yard instead. *Sigh*

On the other hand, I've recently rebuilt my front-end with .85 springs and 20wt oil, mounted my GoPro, and been doing a lot of sanding and smoothing on my belly pan.

 

installed shogun rear spools, renthal grips and put in some fresh Repsol 10/40 and a K&N oil filter, new vesrah front brake pads and speigler brake lines.

still need to change the plugs, and then it will be ready for pulling the battery and adding some stabil to the gas for winter!

 

installed sonic springs and 15wt oil, cleaned my chain, changed my oil and pulled my wheels to get new tires tomorrow!

 

Put on heated grips to extend my riding season!!

 

Good idea. Heated grips ROCK.
