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)

China ebay seller sent 43mm clipons instead of 41s so I made some bushings to make them fit. Seller is sending replacements fo free so I'll have spares at least.

Haha yeah I have some double doors that open up to the lower half of my back yard. My current problem is that I also have to finish getting some junk (which my girlfriend claims is not junk) out of the garage.

Being sick of the false neutral between 5th and 6th, I replaced the shift star with the 05+ model per very detailed instructions found in this thread http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?pagenumber=1&threadid=189382
Everything went rather smoothly. I didn't need a clutch holding tool, just put the bike in 1st and lock the wheel up while zipping the 27mm nut off. Putting everything back together, I spent most the time removing the old paper gasket off the case. Plastic scrapper couldn't bulge it. I finally found a thin bar of copper that was able to scrape the old gasket off. Phew.
Initial impressions with the new setup is that shifting pedal is firmer but more assured. Hopefully this will cure the false neutral.

Refitted refreshed shock and rear wheel on SB. Also went through the carbs completely. New gaskets and o rings everywhere. Test run to be completed tomorrow.
Took measurements and ordered new bearings to accommodate captured spacers for the rear wheel of the SS loaner bike.

Did you use the K&L? Was there a large O-ring left over when you were done?

I tore another motor down to the cases to find out what broke on the previous owner and found this:

I only found one of the missing teeth in the cases.

Nice! What gear is that? And, any explanation of how it happened? Seems to me that doing such damage to a transmission would take some effort.I tore another motor down to the cases to find out what broke on the previous owner and found this:

Not today, since it's drastically cold. But this past week. I replaced 9 year old tires with new ones. By the way, I'm doing that by myself next time, never, ever going to a shop, especially the one near my house.
Waiting on the weather to get back into the 50's so I can finish cleaning my bike. Giving it the first full clean it's had since I bought it back in 2011. The inner swingarm was ALL BLACK.
After that, I have new sprockets and a chain to replace, spark plugs, the aTRE and TPS adjustment too.
