Got it inspected. Coleman's turned me down for the license plate being forward of the rear axle, while MFI passed me but said it was a judgement call as the plate was clearly visible and well illuminated. Advised me to relocate it for next year.

Reading the inspection guidelines, they mention nothing about license plate placement. Oh well, I'll just have to shop it around again next year.

rode to work 3 days in a row...

first day i got stuck in some rain on the way home

second day i rode through the rain in the morning to enjoy the high 70's on the way home

today i enjoyed a gorgeous morning ride followed by a high 80's ride home

washed her tonight, adjusted clutch cable (see if it fixed my difficulty to get neutral), and cleaned/lubed chain

checked chain slack, still good to go...

will check tire pressures tomorrow and prob make another ride to work day

NOTHING! But I did change the oil, filter and spark plug on my DRZ and added red rim stripes. Tomorrow is shorty levers and black/red grips.

Next time take it to Lake Ridge Auto Care just north of the intersection of Prince William Pkwy and Lake Ridge Blvd (just down the hill from the Exxon). They've passed my bike 2 times no problem, since I put the LED plate frame on. Coleman's told me they would order me LED plate lights, but they didn't stock them, nor would they pass my bike, because if the plate light is not stamped "DOT," it's a failure.

Lake Ridge Auto does inspections 7 days a week, and when you are there, you're about 1/3 mile from my house. Stop on by! ;D

Took off the Pilot pures to save them for the next track day and remounted the q1 rear and q2 front I had on before

Sunday I took off the plastics and installed MotoSliders Frame Sliders.

While the plastics were off I changed the oil (Rotella) and Filter (K&N).

I installed the Motosliders Swing Arm Sliders.

And I also adjusted the rear brake lever and light switch.

Yesterday I put on TechSpec tank grips. And while putting on my day cover at work I burned my knuckle on pipe.

Sounds like it might have been too warm to cover right away

 

[dry_humor]

dropped it in the freaking parking lot when the stand got caught on my pant leg and flipped it back up. my lean was past the point of no return so it went over nice and easy like.

praise be to frame sliders and bar ends.

took them out of winter storage this weekend, installed a hyperpro damper to replace the stocker on the 1000.

Pulled this out of the box and put it on the bench. Hate to scuff up and hide such a pretty color

Felt really homesick for my bike when I spied this 99% stock K3 S in Paris.

Figured out on Saturday (thanks, Jeff!) that the reason my bike is handling all wonky after putting on the new top triple for a bar is that my ignition switch is now binding against the frame--it isn't centered in the mounting hole. I tried grinding away a bit of the material from both the switch body and the neck, but no go. Gonna have to disassemble again and see what's up. As far as I can tell, it isn't straight in the mounting hole when off the bike, yet there's no binding on the mounting bolts.

Weird.

Rode through the patch of snow on my driveway so I could get out and enjoy the balmy 4 degree (39 F) weather.

Put on her license plate.

Have you tried enlargening the mounting holes on the ignition? When I first put my bike back together in "lets just get **** working"-mode, I just used 1 screw to totally avoid this. It was such a weird feeling when mine was binding. Felt like I had a 100lb monkey on my tail and it was swinging back and forth.
