Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

Feels great though eh? Now you can justify the spending $ on good rubber.
->Zip tie method is only good for the softest of tires.

So, there's this really whacky new technology called "fuel injection" that uses throttle bodies and fuel injectors instead of carbs...
(but yeah, same idea, except for the TBs instead of the carbs
)
Scroll down for two bottle method http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do_I_synchronize_the_carburetors?
The advantage of this method compared to the oil in a tube method is that the liquid will never enter the vacuum hoses. This is a good thing since when I was adjusting the screw I got it so wrong that the throttle was really out of balance and the oil would have got sucked into the throttle body. With the bottle method, one bottle just runs dry when this happens. I would just shut the engine off, pour the oil from one bottle to the other and try again.

Had a rear flat at 110mph I slowed down before it went totally flat, woo hoo for free roadside assistance!
Put new EBC HH pads on the front and standard EBC on the back.
The old pads weren't even that worn out, but holy hell, the EBCs bite soooo much better.
Let's hope my next thread won't be "I high-sided my bike"
Also washed my helmet padding.
Mmmmm, that clean and fresh spring smell in the helmet...

Clean/lubed chain on one bike...and took a ride before I did the other bike. Maybe something to post about later, huh?

The idle has been porpoising from 950 to 1500 so I began to move the bike to a place where I can work. In doing so, knocked it off it's stand. (track bike no kickstand) It fell on a padded floor so the only damage was the left rear set was slightly bent inward. After picking it up and calming myself, I removed the air box in preparation to check the throttle body sync and check the spark plugs. The plugs look fine except the front one is a bit corroded from the sealing boot leaking a bit I guess.
I checked and set the throttle stop screw, located the vacuum take off nipples and that's as far as I got tonight before deciding to go in a watch the AMA super/sportbike races in Birmingham I DVRed. Tomorrow I'll hook up the gauges and check the sync. If that doesn't fix it, I'll be back here looking for ideas.

Ordered some riding gear from www.revzilla.com including new jacket, gloves, and silver visor for helmet. Also ordered some shorty brake and clutch levers. They're black with dark blue adjusters to match the bike
