Rode in with my new SHOEI RF-1000 helmet. Bike feels completely different because of my previous HJC FS-10. I'm more alert and focused because it allows ambient sounds in but isn't noisy and I'm not wearing a fish bowl.
 
Removed, drained toasted 15wt oil, disassembled, and cleaned springs, spacers, washers, and emulators. Adjusted emulators at 2.5 turns on 64lb springs. Filled forks with 20wt Spectro fork oil to 129mm and reassembled.

Time to enjoy an even stiffer front suspension that matches my GSXR shock even better.
 
cleaned it with waterless cleaner and fixed my right rear turn signal (shorting out b/c of PO's duct tape job, used to work though)
 
LOST1888, I will make a better video and put it on here for you tomorrow. There were a lot of "elderly" people around and I didn't wanna **** them off. They can get pretty feisty when you **** them off:eek:
 
Drove it to Philly (well, yesterday)... Tomorrow, I'll ride it home to NY, and clean + lube the chain.
 
Whoa, should have done the chain clean + lube before I left for my weekend trip. I stopped by Manayunk Triumph to see what was doing, and while I was out front checking out the bikes I gave my chain a nudge with my foot -- way too much slack, I could about touch the chain to the swingarm on the lower side. I snagged an appropriately sized cotter pin from one of the techs at the dealership, and just finished up the adjustment. Glad I noticed that before I headed back to NY!
