  • Charged the battery (just made sure it was ready to go), Lubed the chain, added 2 psi to the tires, topped it off with fuel then took it out for a ride!

    • I've been away from the forum for quite a while, but...

      I put the new sticker on the license plate yesterday, plugged in the battery charger, and sat wishing the snow would melt and the weather would warm up...

              • Removed, sanded, primed, and painted the front fender (didnt match bought it spayed flat black) yesterday. Today I removed the plastics and gas tank for the first time to change the spark plugs. My project list is getting smaller and smaller day by day. Bike is being picked up wensday to get forks sealed, brakes redone, and an overall mechanic check up since I want everything to be safe as possible for my first season.

                • today, just rim tape. Yesterday a throttlemeister. 2 days ago an oil change, air filter, cleaned the chain, checked the plugs, did the 'mesh mod' (black mesh on blue bike). Installed Givi racks for my hard saddle bags. Now I just need the snow gone!!!

                      Well I have most of the parts as of today to complete the swap. I got the cdi, the clutch cover, exhaust gaskets, exhaust springs, just need carbs &
                      clutch cable and the time to install the rest. Then it will be windy road heaven this summer.

                        • Took off the Lower Cowling and as I can't get a new one for love nor money - not even available on fleabay, I'm repairing the PO's crash damage. Lotsa cracks so I bought a Dremel-lookalike and have been following the instructions in a previous KR thread about how to fix the plastics with epoxy - wish me luck!
                          I don't know what I want but I know how to get it.
