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.

cleaned and lubed the chain, and dreamed about heli-bars. Im just too cheap to buy them, but last week I was irritated. took it apart to do the TPS mod, sync my FI and adjust my valves. all I did was do the TPS mod, suck the non murcury fluid through my injectors cause I left both caps undone to sync my tool, when only one is suposed to be off, stupid me. and I checked which valves were off, and it is my exhaust valves are all equally off .5 out of spec. I didn't wanna fuss around with undoing the darn cam chain because I didn't know the cam chain came over the cams, on my tl they are conected to a sprocket that conects to my cams. So I know what im doing this winter. oh ya and I got new fluid for my tool, so whenever I feel like messing with the FI again, that will get done.

I added the Holeshot brand mirror extenders and adjusted my TPS. Not sure if either help yet because it snowed frickin' 9 inches Thursday night/Friday morning and it is still wet and cold! The extenders were a breeze but be careful tightening the mirror as it will take the paint (maybe its powdercoat) off of the extender if/when it digs in when tightened too hard. I ended up doing it a bit to one of them....

As for TPS, when revving the throttle in the lower rpm range I could feel a difference (it seemed smoother) but won't tell for sure until I ride it. I didn't have too much trouble with the security torx, just took my time and only needed to move the sensor adjustment about an 1/8th of an inch. The line moves at 1800 rpm now, ~3500 rpm before the adjustment.

Chaged plugs wohoo. Was a pain in the ass. My home made socket plug grabber thing wouldnt let go of the **** plug and got stuck in the hole. Came close to putting some glue on the end of a socket extension but thankfully I got it out after 20 min. haha

90 min for a plug change . F+

Cannot ride due to a broken right radius racing 2 weeks ago but I'm building up a 2nd G2 sv which will have the GSXR 750 front and an F3 rear wheel + a superbike motor with slipper clutch.

Steve, sorry about the broken arm. I hadn't heard about you crashing. That stinks for sure.



I rode 350 miles today. It was f'n HOT.

I put the fairings back on it... It's got its MOT- annual roadworthiness test- due next week and though it was still legal with the fairings off it looked bloody awful, cable ties and tape everywhere and a wee flyscreen made of cardboard :eek: First impressions last!
