Dropped the wife off at the airport and then Power washed the SV Oregon style.

 

Took her picture

 

I added a tbr P1x Powertip and a spark arrester to my SV. I can ride without earplugs if I want now.

Installed a Penske rear on the racebike

 

Took her tank off and played around with her coil. Hopefully get her running nicely by tommarow.

 

Got into an argument with the rear tire..... she exploded

 

Holy crap! More details please.

 

Installed tidy tail and new ProGrip 725's........ then rode it before it rained this afternoon .

 

Dyno'd

 

Nice nearly 80hp, may I ask what mod's you've done and what was best bang for the buck for hp? I don't race so probably doesn't matter for me but I wouldn't mind a couple extra ponies.

 

Did a few laps at a track

Nice shot.

Holy crap! More details please.

Not sure how it happened. It was startling at first...bike shouldn't wobble like that, but held together very well, my first thought was "did I tighten the rear axle properly?" Plenty of tread on the tires as I just started experimenting this season and riding in a group a month ago.
Trailing back on the road I couldn't find anything wrong and the other 11 guys (not to mention all the cars passing) seemed unaffected.

Nothing dramatic:

 

i installed a Rear 06 636 shock
changed forks oil to 20wt and installed spacers.

How bright are the LEDs? Also could you provide a link? I am looking for something similar as my current set up LEDs are very dim.

 

Threw on a set of Motosliders...hopefully never have to use them at speed!

 

or watch your buddy on your bike put them to work

Holy crap! You're lucky. That could have been a lot worse. Have you contacted Avon?

Brain fart, didn't even realize that was possible after a full year since purchase..... but their website warranty states they'll consider anything within 7 years of manufacture if I bring it back to the place of purchase and ship it back to them for inspection.

Although I jumped the gun and already put PRoad 3s all around and after 80km they already feel on par with the Ultras which is comforting. Mind you I never felt the Ultras get squirly, never lost confidence in them, so I can't comment on how much potential they had left.

When I took the front off I noticed a wavy pattern in sections of the tire about half way down the shoulder.... guess my suspension needs to be adjusted as well :naughty:

I'll follow up once I hear back from them; I'd be stoked to get a new tire out of this.

 

Full Leo exhaust, yoshimura intake cams (very similar to 2nd gen intakes) 41mm flatslide carbs

 

I believe it has to do w relay you are using

 

Adjusted and straightened the handlebars (right side was a little off). Rode it!

 

Installed new headlight switch, also replaced the fuel line clamps between the TB's. Also finally parked her in my own garage for the first time. Feels good.

 

Put my new sargent seat on

Nice! I'm very seriously considering getting one. However, I hear they drop the seat height about an inch. I've already lowered the pegs to help accommodate my long legs, so I don't want to negate that effect with a lower seat. Did you notice a drop in seat height with the new seat?

 

turned it perpendicular to the street and touched the asphalt with the tail and exhaust while the rear wheel was still on the ground. and my ass was still in the seat. hip has a nice bruise and the bike's got a little more character now. gotta remember that even tho my Hawk and the SV are both 650, the SV's a gnarlier beast.

 

Got her up on the stands, wheels pulled off to get new tires tomorrow, pulled off the S triple, and started to test fit the N triple and bars for the swap.

 

added two click in to the rebound setting on the rear shock and test rode. Tires were cupping, didn't really feel different but we will see if it helps.

 

synched throttle valves using the 2 bottle methods. Works great, getting to the nipples was tough though. I synched at 4000-5000rpm and it feels a lot smoother on the ride, but idle is a little rougher.

 

Not really today, but within the last three days... finished putting new bars on (Daytonas, slightly higher,) replaced the rear brake pedal, adjusted the rear brake light switch and put on the license plate.

 

Where did you get the rear brake pedal? I need to replace mine as well.

Also, tried the bar end mirrors. Didn't like them.

Over the weekend: worked with a friend fabricating an aluminum subframe to fit a Monster seat

Sadly, can't avoid the gap between the taillight and the seat unless I want the taillight pointed up too far to be visible.

Just now I mounted an 07 ZX10 shock that I just had Racetech rebuild
