Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

I cleaned the rear wheel. It gets very dusty, for some reason. And there's always a little chain lube that sticks here and there. A paper towel with some lighter fluid squirted on it got it looking good.
Did my round trip commute to work and back. 50 miles of twisties and post card grade scenery. And almost no traffic. Sweeeeet!!

Applied my rim tape on the wheels, it was the roll with the applicator. Within 2minutes, I ****** up the applicator, this piece of crap was thrown in the garbage.
Took the tape roll, took patience and help of one of my friends, and I managed to install it rather cleanly!!

New brake pads front and rear. Still waiting on Supersprox to release the 46 tooth rear sprocket I ordered. It's been on backorder since late Februrary.
Will be putting the Stealth front and rear sprockets and a D.I.D 525ERV chain on the track bike.

Installed Steve's TRE and then took it out for a 100+ mile ride. Rode it like I stole it. PERFECT weather!

FINALLY got to the garage and did a little work on my bike. Installed new woodcraft 2" rise clip-ons, and actually started it. I know. Awesome, right?
Maybe tomorrow I'll actually get to ride it.

Cleaned the bugs off of every surface on the front. Lots of bugs.
Lubed the chain; 75w/90 gear lube applied with a toothbrush. This is working very well.
Checked the front end to see if there was any slop in the steering head bearings. They seem to be OK.
Cleaned tar off of parts of the motor. We've got lots of chip seal roads out here in the country and tar gets thrown up by the front tire and it sticks on the motor and melts there. It's a real mess. It happens year round and there's a lot of build up. I tried naphtha, but there has to be something better. I'm going to try some spray on stuff that is supposed to work on bugs and tar. We'll see...

I got the same stuff, it was in aerosol though. I've got lots of tar to get rid of.Rocket Dodger. I have used this stuff before and it worked well. Never on the motor. I use Wd40 to keep the motor clean myself. You might want to give it a shot.
