What did you do to your bike today?

[PF2411]

Installed Fender eliminator and center stand.

I installed a SW-Moto Center Stand I purchased from Twisted Throttle. It cost $135. It was a relatively easy install as it bolted right to the existing mounts. It looks like the bike was designed from the start to have a center stand. Installing the retraction spring was the only challenge but got that on after a few attempts. This is a great add on mod as it make chain and rear wheel maintenance so much easier as well as checking oil and fluids.

Fender eliminator was an e-bay purchase for $34.95 with free shipping. Just a simple light weight black power coated aluminum bracket. It lined up perfectly and accepted the original bolts with no problem. I used the existing turn signals as I like them nice and bright with the slower original flash rate. They went on on easy as well. I did have to order the plate light separately. I found a China made LED plate bolt light set for cheap cheap at $7 shipped. These replace the plate hold on screws. They stand up a half inch or so and have one bright LED in each pointing toward the plate face. I'll add those on when they arrive.

I thought about mine a lot. I'll probably check my battery tender this weekend so I have an excuse to look at the bottom of the tires under the cover.

Listened to it get rained on this evening...that certainly wasn't in the forecast :banghead:

Hopefully it rained hard enough to clean it! :rof:

 

[Jaralaccs]

[JonKerr]

Uploaded my new fuel map into the Power Commander and ran the motor for a little while in the garage. Rain Rain, go away.

Went to go for a ride, second time this year and battery was almost dead. Got a trickle charger in the way today.

Rode it for the first time this year! Just a 10 minute ride to work in 28 degree weather, but it was great nonetheless!

Might take a scenic route home... it's already up to 39 and I've got an hour and a half before we close up shop.

Man, it's good to ride again!

 

[NoDoze]

Stared at the newly installed ZX6R mirrors that I put on last night... Stared and stared at it some more at all angles. LOL

Got on the bike and adjusted the mirrors. Stepped off and stared at her some more. Hoping the rain goes away soon.

Note: Yes, I know, my garage is dirty Currently working on the yard. Lots of tools and dirt all over the place.

The map is much better, but still not as perfect as I want it. I'll get there

Finally connect my Speed sensor to the PCV. Calibrate speed and gear sensor. Was so off! No wonder...

 

[MikeN02]

Ok, finally!

Rode my bike today, got her some fuel. Took her to Harbor Freight and got the tamper proof hex key. Rode all the way over to my friend's garage to put on his PCV for his 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6-R.

Tested the Go Pro and I guess it isn't good quality indoors with artificial light. Recorded at 720p @ 60fps and edited with AVS video editor. Not sure if the editor took away some of the HD quality but looks like it didn't.

NoDoze, you convinced me... those are the mirrors I'll be going with

Took her to Harbor Freight and got the tamper proof hex key.

what is this?

 

[MikeN02]

what is this?

Harbor freight is a amazing place where elves go to receive their tools to make toys.

Tamper proof hex key is like an allen key except with a circle in the middle of it. It's a "security" bolt kind of like how nintendo has their special tri-wing screws (3 way screw instead of 4) so that no one will tamper or mess with it.

First one I saw was a pack of bits that said security bits which had the tri-wing screw bit in it and these tamper torx bits as well. Had to use it to get off the bolt holding the zx6-r's steering damper so I can get the tank up/off.

The tamper proof bolts? Their such a pain... one website said I could tap and break the center of it to be a regular allen/hex key bolt but I reconsidered.

Bought both tools for the tamper proof bolts about $5 each. They come from T5 to T40.

Love Harbor Freight, it's like i'm walking into a candy store.

 

[Fenixgoon]

lubed my chain today! woot woot

 

[jgangoo]

left the bike and took my car to work as it looks like going to rain today, I am not a wet rider

 

[Uno979]

I gave her a shine and buff down. Plan on taking a short ride this afternoon after work.
