I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. I did like zero prep work on it because honestly I just wanted to see what it would look like, knowing that plasti-dip comes right off. I'm a fan!

Before:

After:

I scrambled last night between kids' play dates and dinner and homework, but I got the SV back together and ready for the commute to work this morning. That weatherman had better be right about the sunny and 60deg today!

Rode it and gave it a much needed oil change. I'm also planning to try out plasti dipping it in white.

 

[Zuki]

I de-winterized it and rode it. Feels good to be back on it!

put her up on stands for her four day rest while I go to ohio.

Replaced the shifter w/ a folder. Looks sharp

Mounted and balanced new PR3s ad installed new brake pads.

Re: Evo2 battery - I appreciate how small it is especially after having "modified" the battery box. Conveniently the foam it was secured in made a great holster of sorts since it's so much smaller than the Yuasa.

Pulled into Subway parking spot - stopped - Put right foot down so I could lower the kick stand with the left - right foot set on loose pee gravel (left by the construction truck that was leaving as I was entering) right foot keeps going to the right - *&%$#@ - hit the cut off to kill the motor (on the way down) - broken right turn signal :sbmfacepalm:
Picked up the bike - got my Subway samich and went home

Nice recovery!

I did this:

... to make way for this (among several other upgrades):

I've never had the bike torn down this far, so I'm a little worried, but it sure is fun.

Umm, You got a little carried away there didnt you... I might be wrong, but I'm not sure the tank, rear wheel, seats, or rear panels need to come off to fit a new set of forks... Again, I could be wrong.

Ha, definitely correct... that's why I went back and edited to add:

She's getting painted and otherwise freshened up too.

Installed my clutch lever to replace the broken one (and yes, I lubed the pivot surfaces), and cleaned & lubed the chain. Having a chain brush makes that a ton easier . Also have a set of Motosliders on order (too little too late, it'll probably never get laid down again... and here I got jinxing myself...). Cheap insurance, just didn't have the cash earlier. It hasn't been ridden since the issue last weekend, but things are looking good. I may take it around the block a couple times tomorrow morning before work just to get it out of my system LOL

Should've answered this 2 months back. I landed mine

....was it in the air?

Landed mine or 'land mined', as in mounted or hit a land mine, or did you kind of slide into home plate? 8)

I found the rattle that's been driving me crazy :dizzy: for the last 8 or 9 months! The top screw on the left radiator cover was loose. I saw that the screw head was not flush with the cover, so I tightened that stinker up.

No more rattle!!

Thought the knocking was my chain so I tightened it... Then the knocking went from just first and second to constant at any road speed.

I timed the knocks, did some math, and it's almost dead on the same rate as the chain rotation... Guess I've got a bad link so it's down for the count until the stand comes today and chain/sprockets come Tuesday. Makes sense because it was disgusting when I bought the bike and got him to drop the $200 it would take for a new kit... Had the rest of the maintenance documented and right on time, why they ignored the chain, I don't know.

Did you measure the slack first?
