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)

I disconnected the trickle charger, thumbed the starter, and made sure it was still alive. It's showing signs of needing a synchronization, and maybe some other adjustments, because it's a little hard to start and struggles to maintain momentum even with the choke. After about thirty seconds, though, it runs smoothly and without a hiccup.
I let it run for twenty minutes to get up to temp, killed it, and put the charger back on.
Then I prayed for my daughter to magically become a first grader so I wouldn't have to take her to work with me (preschool is next door to my office). Until that day comes, I ride fewer than 30 days a year...

No but I have them mounted in the front forks were the reflectors are normally mounted. I have the model 30s. I'm thinking you have the same set-up. I plan on getting two of the floods that you have and mounting them on ether side of the head light and tying them into the high beam once my head light relay components come in.
Yesterday I finally pulled off the header to drill it for the O2 sensor. Was not thinking I could weld a bung on precisely enough to fit the sensor up behind the rear master cyl, but found a bolt-on bung from AEM.

And it'll allow a little 'fine tuning' of the exact position so I'll be able to get the sensor up thorough the opening without interference. Going to drive the Innovate G2 meter with their LC-1 unit that also data-logs. Nice stuff is SO great to get for yourself.
Happy New Year.

I was surprised myself to find a bung pre-installed on the M4 system. Try placing yours right behind the bounting bolt wherd the Y comes together. I think this is the california location as well.

Cool. I have the exact same setup, plus only a single model 60 flood. Two model 60s should be pretty intense lighting!

Replaced my front master cylinder.
Edit: and found the apparent cause of this twisting destruction.
The bolt on the left is the one I had installed. It must have been replaced with the brake lever during some long ago shop work. Previously unbeknownst to me, the the head doesnt even touch in the recess of the pivot tab. Never gave it a second thought. So while the bottom was tight the top was essentially free floating.

Put the battery on a monthly charge top up.... can't remember if I put fuel stabilizer in it in the fall though... guess I'll have to run a couple tanks of seafoam when ever I can get the damn bike on the road again... the cold is not much of an issue.. but there has been muck and ice on the roads straight through since october
Damn this is a shiddy winter... normally I get the bike out a few days almost every month... but not this year...
It's not time yet, but maybe I'll clean the K&N out this weekend too

Finished the undertray and battery bracket for the track bike and routed and secured al the tail wiring, ICU, fuse boxes, and R/R. Shaved 11 lbs off the bike with the LiPo battery and modified subframe. :rock: Filled up the oil and coolant. Waiting to fire it up until I get the new rim and tires in and the gsxr front fork installed.

I had a chance to test ride with the velocity stacks in. I must say, they do make a noticeable difference in the higher rpm range. I didn't really notice any loss down low either. Two thumbs up.

I looked at her, in the garage, with all the snow that has blown in under the door. I feel bad making her stay out in the cold. But, on the good side......
my wife just gave me the ok to bring the bike inside!!!!!! I am going to put her in the basement, where I can begin doing all the routine maintenance and a cam swap!!!
