I washed it.

 

[super458]

Simply went for a ride. 150 miles worth every minute of it.

 

[scaliwag]

left it in the 115 degree garage.

 

[gadzooks]

Installed the Scorpion high mount exhaust I got from 2003sv and fabbed up a rear turn signal relocation bracket out of 16ga steel painted satin blck since the muffler and right signal wanted to share the same space
pics tomorrow when there's daylight

 

[gadzooks]

Well today I just rode it

been working on the kawi a lot.

holy crap on a cracker, that's almost double my mileage...then again you have almost double the riding season!

I installed the new integrated tail light.

Before:

After:

Really tidies up the backend. Fitting was a bit of a pain, because it came with no instructions, but once I started hacking everything apart it wasn't so bad.

On the 1K bike I removed the cover from the original seat, then cut out about 1 3/8 inch of the firm foam. put a soft piece of 1/2 padding ( like the stuff you put inside a jacket for warmth ) and a 1/2 inch thick piece of soft foam. I made a new cover for the seat and put it all together. My butt should be about one inch closer to the ground than the stock seat, and about 1 3/8 of an inch lower than the gel seat. First ride on Monday afternoon.
At the shop on Saturday I had them apply one more turn to the anti squiggle device ( damping ) on the rear shock.

Later I will build a new windscreen a few inches higher than the double bubble. It will also come further aft than the DB.

I rode the bejeezus out of it! About 300 miles I think. It gets awesome fpg. That's "fun per gallon" for those who don't know. Every time I ride this bike it amazes me at just how great it is. Oh, how it loves to have its throttle cranked! Now it needs a new back tire, and chain cleaning, so I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

I farted on the seat a couple times during a ride today. Other than that, just ridin'

 

[ProjectedTrail]

took it for a good ride, and hit 210 km/hr (my highest speed yet)

This thread is supposed to be about maintenance and mods.

Riding your bike is really, really nice but is fail on this thread.

Just sayin'.

 

[C-10 Aldehyde]

I was maintaining my seat by farting on it.

 

[Zokambaa]

maintaining it by circulating oil and fuel through the engine is also good...

I did that to and from work today :nana: gonna have to wash it soon and get my new tires on though... the stocker is getting a wee bit bald on the rear... still a bit there.. but good enough until I get the car back so I can carry the tires in to the shop.... blaaaaaaaaaah

That's better than Armor All. ;D

indicated, i should bring my GPS next time for you

 

[Zokambaa]

Yeah it is safer than looking down at the speedometer anyway.... then again you were probably only doing 190... the speedo is pretty inacurate above 60kph. :nana:

[donteatbugs]

changed the oil and filter, installed my license plate and lights

 

[2Zukis]

Let's see.... the gal from whom I bought it produced a reciept showing oil & filter changed, as well as brake fluid.

The bike is over 7 years old, only 2,440 miles, and I have done some things to it since taking possesion of it.... and have more 'stuff' that needs to be done.

I bobbed the rear fender, installed some bar-end mirrors, trimmed my passenger seat and stuck a "Fast Pack" tail bag over it, cleaned the chain, then polished the bike.

What I need to do yet is, replace the 8 year old OEM tires, drain and replace the coolant, upgrade the suspension, install a 14 tooth counter-sprocket, and buy new tires (I haven't decided to go with the Power 2's or Road 2's....).
