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)

You could have done the same thing by screwing the switch further in like it was designed to do.
(The "camera" on my tablet is worthless!)
Next time I'll do that.
Thanks.

You're welcome. It's MUCH easier to fine tune the engagement.Next time I'll do that.
Bike had intermitten starting problem, fuel pump won't prime, code C042. Traced the problem out to be the green plug, the yellow/orange wire for security specifically. Apparently the previous owner had fixed the green plug by moving the red wire (constant hot supply) to a separate blade connector. I am finishing with the other 3 wires using 3 slots off these European style terminal strip from Radioshack. This one is rated for 12AWG and 30A. I already direct-wired the headlight and the horns, so I think I'm good there. If this proves unreliable, I would just crimp the thing next time around. So far so good though, the vibration hasn't knocked it loose yet.

Purposely ran it out of gas in prep for shipping in a week. The light started flashing at 180.4mi then, with continued non-conservative riding, went solid at 204.5mi. I parked it with 216.4mi on the trip and it still took over an hour to idle the rest of the fuel out of the tank. Tip here: raise the front of the tank a few inches to get all the fuel out.

Took it to Thunderhill west, for the first track day only on that side instead of the full 5 mile Thunderschleife.
Had a good time, and met some awesome people including Dan Sewell, who most people would recognize from these photos we've all seen: http://dangerismymiddlename.com/archives/3222
He was a super friendly guy and great to work with. In the first session out I spotted him going round and trying to show different people proper lines here and there when he would pass them as most people were trying to learn the track for the first time. I found him in the pits before the second session and got talking to him and realized he was sponsored by TWF, and then recognized his helmet from the pictures and he gave me the whole story about those races.
After spending some time riding with him, I gained a lot more confidence in the track and ended up moving up a group and banging it around with guys that I thought would be a lot quicker than me.
I also got some more tips on setting up my suspension properly for my needs from the guys at catalyst reaction who were also super helpful and easy to work with.

Installed a slightly used radial master from a 2009 zx6r and took her for a canyon run. Braking is far better, very confidence inspiring and the feel/feedback is perfect. Should be able to shave down lap times now.
