What did you do to your bike today?

Dallas
Rode mine yesterday morning when it was still 66 degrees out. It was overcast and I was up at 5:00am with some water still on the ground. It was foggy but a great ride. I am thankful for Dallas weather sometimes because we sneak some nice weather even in the middle of winter. This morning it is partly cloudy and 36... back to winter.
A few days ago I installed my raven seat cowl cover, Yamaha Carbon look tank pad, cleaned my chain and relubed.... whiped it down after a ride.
For the money (I bought mine used 09 with 3k miles on it like brand new) I am not sure how you beat this bike.
Looks great, rides great, for the money it is it for me... too nice..

Looked at mine looking sad and cold in a partially open shed. Moved it out of the garage for the snowblower 
Gonna use my neighbors garage until spring so I can change exhaust, put on my pcv.
Gonna use my neighbors garage until spring so I can change exhaust, put on my pcv.I didn't really do anything to her today (WAY too cold out). Hands on work will wait till spring, since can't get a heated garage this year.
But I did receive my new tires for this upcoming season. I got new Pilot Road 3's from Bikebandit, just delivered today. They had what seamed like a great sale on them this last weekend. Only cost me $275 for the set. I was going between the Roadsmart 2's ($303), PR3's ($275) or the BT-023's ($250). I figured for only $25 I would treat myself to the PR3s and hope that I can hit about 16k on them (so a year and a half).

Just changed the oil at 6,142 miles.
Gotta say I think that the K&N oil filters are pretty much the best thing ever invented...

And why is that?

The 17mm hex nut that is welded to the top of the filter.
The reason that I think it is the best thing ever invented stems from my inherent inability to remove oil filters without resorting to pounding a screwdriver through them.
Well that certainly qualifies as a valid reason then. LMFAO!

I think my Yamaha dealer used the same methods to remove my sump bold and cracked the pan,,,
a lot of aftermarket filters have that
