Installed new ZX10 rear shock.

Told you it wouldn't be too bad. Did you have to do any cutting?
Yep, I had to cut he battery box a bit... nothing too complicated, I even fabricated a new aluminum base to raise the battery about 1 inch.

Thanks for your good advice. ;D

This weekend I'm installing the new Racetech fork springs and putting 15w oil.
 
Checked to make sure the radiator was topped off. Noticed that it didn't look like there was anything in the brake reservoir..opened it to find nothing and a small circular gasket slightly hanging down in the reservoir.

new rear tire (dunlop sportmax q2), all the this and that of checking the chain tension. noticed that my chain was pretty scummy so i took some time to clean all the chain poop off then took some cleaner to the engine, shock, rims.

then test ride to wear in the tire a bit and show her off :D

put a hole in my tire annnnnnnnnd RIM. It'll be a while before I'm riding again as I think I'll be working on my zx6r swingarm swap now.
 
I changed the oil and filter. 3500 miles on Rotella T6, it looked like it was good for another 1000. Could be the Bales adapter that lets me use a Purolator 14610 Pure One filter. I think that the Pure One filter did a better job than the Purolator "for motorcycle" filters or Hi-Lo Filtro filters.

Suzi needs a bath, but that didn't happen; the roads are going to be really wet in the morning. :(
 
Filled it up with coolant, it was EMPTY! No wonder it was overheating all the time.
 
Ordered some parts for the off-season tinkering. I know that doesn't really count, but I haven't post-whored in this thread for a long time. ;D
 
Got a list of things I need to do over the winter. New Battery, sonic springs and heavier fork oil, look for a different steering stabilizer, maybe a new headlight/windscreen setup, new pipe, maybe a danmoto nano cockpit, new rearsets and see if I can find some rotary caliper brackets. This all if I don't get my CR500 sumo project bike.
