            • Back to fighting with the carb removal some more. Can't get that choke cable unhooked. Contemplating just cutting the stupid thing to free the carbs and then replacing the cable during reinstall. I'll sleep on it before I take such a drastic action though.

                • "Installed" my new insurance card and finished removing the carbs. Found a couple extra vacuum hoses, not connected on either end, just laying under the carbs too. I guess I'll have to try and figure out what, if anything, they're supposed to be attached to.

                  • Yesterday found issues with the #1 carb slide (installed improperly by whoever did the last rebuild and damaged). Looking over the rest of the top end of the carbs and everything else looks decent. Those fuel lines though... Inner liner was delaminated from the outer layer and the inner layer was also cracked like you wouldn't believe. I'll be replacing those for sure. Also need to go at the bottom end of the carbs as there's a lot of burned gasoline around the gaskets on #1 & 2, with some around #3.

                    • This is what I did

                      Took it on our first group ride (200 miles) and had some folks asking that's a 600? 👍🏼

                        • Put new tyres on it. Diablo Rosso 2's. Got a great deal I couldn't refuse. It's not like I'll miss not having Rosso 3's, cos the 2's are far better than anything I've had before anyway!

                          • Rode suzy to work and then took her out in the city just after rush hour and found all the road construction

                            • Put new foot pegs on and tried to put the mirror back on, but it seems I have to go to the hardware store tomorrow to get a rubber cushion to get the thing to hold enough tension to not fall out. This was all after I accidentally hit her with my car trying to put it in reverse...

                              • Individual carbs now completely disassembled. Amazing how clean they are, there's really no cleaning to be done. I guess that's from using a little Seafoam over the Winters? However, there's a lot of plastic/seal/gasket type parts that are in horrible shape!
