Coolant flush, oil change and cleaned chain.
Need to replace air filter and spark plugs me thinks.
Took it for a nice ride on Sunday. Here in Ottawa the roads are just starting to be swept so some areas are a bit hazardous with the loose sand and stone in the corners.

 

Rode over a finishing nail and punctured the rear tire.

 

well.....not just today but including it for sure...i have rebuilt my bike from the frame up....new(to me) shock from zx6.....got a new motor with 11k miles...had my forks custom made by the member pattonme on this site...and they are worth every penny..today i put in my HID's(again) =)

 

Sunday had new head bearings installed. Feeling a little tight but starting to loosen up.

Today I stopped by Two Brothers Racing world HQ for a repack kit and stainless steel wool matt.

They've got some shiny toys!

Good Lord! I had to do a double take to see if you were in Wisconsin with that ugly green and gold paint job.

 

Cleaned, relubed, and adjusted my shift linkage and clutch release mechanism in the hope that it will solve or alleviate my 2nd gear issue. The bugger has periodically been dropping back to neutral for a year now. Pre loading my shifts has all but eliminated the issue when I remember to do it. So this it the first step on the mechanical road that hopefully won't lead to split cases.

 

Pulled the rear tire off to get a new PR4 put on and started taking apart the front end to fix the wiring the previous owner hacked together.

Put the tail back together and started installing my unicorn farts.

I think something is missing though...


Anyone got a left-side SV1K passenger bracket they don't need?

 

Installed the LED tail light bulb upgrade (see http://www.svrider.com/forum/showthread.php?t=182618). Got longer bolts that have thread left after installing the windscreen. Plugged the darn clutch sensor back in after it gave me a no-start scare. Rode the bloody mess out of it down I-20 to work.:rock:

Life is good.

 

Passed it in the garage on my way out to the car... still waiting to take MSF next week before I take it out.

Although I already removed the windscreen, pulled bulbs to lookup LED replacements, and started the process of getting an aTRE and doing a TPS mod.

 

Removed the slack from the new chain, wiped off some crud, scraped off the old inspection sticker, installed new turn signal bulb, checked air pressure in tires, filled it with gas and took it for a 10 mile ride.

 

installed HID's again...lol

 

Drained my oil and replaced filter in preparation for replacing output shaft gasket.

 

This is stuff I got done this week..

Rear wheel mounted with 47t 525 sprocket also installed.
90kg Springs and installed the forks to the triples.
Venhill SS front lines
SM2 Handle Bars.

 

Red frame looks boss! And holy crap, that sprocket carrier is so clean I feel guilty.

Today I replaced a missing speedo magnet.

 

Haha thanks dude. This is how it looked with half of it cleaned up. All I did was take an alcohol wipe to it and everything lifted off it.

 

With winter coming up and see a lot of threads on different forums of battery problems decided to add a digital voltage gauge.

 

I bought a nice power cable with an Andersen quick connect to wire up to my battery, so I have easier access for charging and jump starts. I've had my battery die twice randomly, I think due to the ignition switch getting stuck part way between LOCK and the stupid PARKING LIGHTS position (why the f#$@ does that even exist???). It's very annoying to have to get your hands dirty reaching around the chain to get to the little toolbox, remove the seat covers, and the seat bolts, just to get to the battery terminals.

I'll be hooking that sucker up this weekend, and I'll have a nice spot under the rear seat to quick plug whatever I need.

 

I got my Evotech oil cooler guard in the mail today. It looks so sweet on the bike!

 

Cleaned the bike and the chain so it looks all purdy now. But then broke my visor after cleaning it.

 

Repacked the muffler bearing, and changed the oil. Pictures to follow.

 

Rode 400+ miles

 

Installed my Penske triple clicker. Had to order the Kawasaki lower 10x55mm bolt and nut.

 

Bolted it back together and went for a ride.

 

Washed off the winter.

 

Where did you get your headlights? What kind are they?

 

made a bracket for de headlight and turnsignals for the frontend swap on my gf's sv650. only need to drill the holes and take out some metal out of the midle. the borat 'swimsuit' was a birthday present just for fun.

it's on this frontend

and on this bike.

 

Removed front faring bracket, hunting for speedo, blinkers, and headlight.
Rossi currently in 3 rd, Marquez is killing it.
