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)

Still working on buttoning her up. But after I got done snow blowing the 6" off the drive. I stripped the paint I painted off the sprocket cover. I will paint it again a little later.
Yesterday I put on my painted grab bar, adjusted the clutch with the use of the new tool, and took some pictures of the rear sets,grab bar, and new sprockets and new chain.

Be very careful, the resulting hp increase from installing too many stickers will snap your crankshaft like a dried twig.

But if you paint it with red and yellow stripes the fast food er I mean Fast Karma will follow you and protect the bike from crankshaft snapping.. and it will add another 40 horsepower too ;D

Tried syncing my carbs but I'm not sure if I got the right hose on the rear carb.
Made this tool
==> http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Is_there_a_carb_sync_tool?
Used these instructions
==> http://www.bluepoof.com/motorcycles/howto/svs_carb_sync/
But now that I'm done the idle is very erratic so I'm not sure what I may have done wrong or didn't connect.

Whoa! Nexus, the FBI is on their way and wants a word...
Today I mounted my rear wheel with new Avon Azaro tire. Cleaned and re-waxed my chain, took off the rear body work and rear fender in preparation for a home made fender eliminator and a distribution block for a stebel horn.
Whew, enough for one day...

Ordered her a JC Whitney trunk and a throttle rocker. Then opened the door so she could see the foot of snow on the ground so she could tell i wasn't neglecting her needlessly. Then i plowed the snow out of my driveway and my walk so that the delivery man could get to my house tomorrow with my corbin seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rode mine in to work today and made it all messy.... ah well... I had to mess up the pristine shine of my new M4 some time... Got my Sliders on finally just in time for a chinook.... it was dry this morning... but the sun of the day melted the crap on the sides of the roads and made for a moist and muddy ride home
At least it is not as bad as my car yet

Yes, maybe I'll do 2 rides on Sunday.
Another beautiful day in CA, rode to the beach.
The guy with the fishtail bike was there.

It was a really nice day today, so I took the sv out to blow out the cobwebs on the bottom roads next to the river. But the Illinois Sherrif's dept. decided they should pull me over about an hour into it.... No tickets though, they were just glad I pulled over.

Got my new seat, rear seat cover, tank pad and rear set riser plates installed. I also ordered the 08' tire hugger color matched, but it's made for the ABS model so the mounting hole on the exhaust side is off by an inch. They don't make one for the non ABS model so I am going to have to drill a new hole in the part. Now that it's looking good time to start with performance upgrades, but that will have to wait until the 1 year warrenty is over.
