Cleaned the wheels, belly pan, and fenders and then cleaned and lubed the chain.

adjusted chain tension

Went for my first two up ride. I know its not doing anything "to" the SV, but it was a big step for me.

Loaded the track bike and all of its bits worth keeping into the truck and brought it home.

 

[Hohmie]

Oopsie!
Hope you're ok.

Replaced this.

Replaced it, why? That nail looks in perfect shape.


Sorry this happened to you. $200 tire plus $0.01 nail = Tire Swing.

New BT023 out back. Worn out, fortunately, and not the victim of a nail through the sidewall.

Now I have to ride like an old lady until the tire has a few heat cycles in it.

Added a custom fob to my ignition key. Hemp cord tied in a "Cobra" lanyard stitch.

Picture coming when I can put it somewhere public. The mobile app won't let me attach a photo.

Edit: Here's the pic:

i did my first chain cleaning, oiling, and tightening of the chain, tomorrow first oil
change

 

[nucular]

Finally put my rearsets back on after changing them back to black and also blacked out my passenger pegs/hangers.

 

[wingspan]

Installed my EE subframe, finished fitting a leftover GSXR exhaust, last rivets on the "custom" battery tray I built...and starting to contemplate what I'll need for custom brackets to mount '07 GSXR bodywork

 

[Lancet913]

Changed oil/filter, installed fresh front PP2ct tire and adjusted clutch to that "sweet" spot. New tires make all the difference in the world!

 

[magilke441]

SVRP rearsets, SVRP 3.5 risers (pain in ass with clearances). And fixed brake lever issue. Also got a front fairing to match my tank.

 

[North Bay Rider]

did my first oil change on my new bike

 

[That1Guy]

Found out that my license actually isn't suspended yet, so finished painting the fairings and put the bike back together. For now the tank is a couple shades lighter than the fairings and the front wheel is still stock color but I will take it apart and finish it completely in about 15 days. Something really weird happened, it was stripped completely down to frame/motor/forks/swing arm and I got it all back together and there is ZERO leftovers. My dad would say that something is wrong because if you take something apart there should always be leftovers after its back together.

I finished up my post-big-trip maintenance that I had been putting off.

Checked valve clearances, adjusted rear exhaust shims
Flushed and refilled coolant and replaced with Engine Ice (likely wasted money for the way I ride, but what the hell)
Changed rear tire
Synced throttle bodies
Changed front brakes and flushed front brake fluid
Cleaned and adjusted chain (first time in over 15,000 miles since installing a Scottoiler)
Cleaned air filter

She runs like a brand new bike now. I don't know whether it was syncing the throttle bodies or adjusting the valve clearances that were slightly tight, but she runs great.

Ripped off all my 2001 s plastics and metal supports for when my bkmoto universal streetfighter headlight comes in. Found out the bar end metal pieces are impossible to unscrew. So drilled off the screw head. Then found out the bars are totally solid aluminum and drilled a hole big enough for the mirrors screws. Went too big so used jb weld and they are in there quite permanently. Although they do look quite awesome and stay where you aim them.

And that was another episode of "Caveman Mechanic"

J/k

 

[Junkie]

Last night I put the TBs back on the 1000, as well as D'Ecosse's STV elimination stuff. With no STVs and a lidless airbox it makes quite a bit of noise when I open the throttle - I hear it more than the full M4.

 

[schnoomy5643]

Decided to wash it since it was filthy, and as I was washing it, the township decided it was time to tar and chip my road.....
