What did you do to your bike today?

[JonKerr]

Looked at her and regret being an idiot! Might not get to ride for a while. After finding out some really bad news today I slammed my hand down on my desk and may possibly have injured my throttle hand. Gonna grab one of the ortho docs at work tomorrow and see if they can X-ray it.

I hate to say it, but if you're doing a salvage with a color change, to boot? That deserves it's own thread. I don't believe anyone here has done it, yet.

You need a build thread that we can all watch and comment on! Under either "Technical" or "Garage," I would think.

Looks good so far. I've so many darn questions that this thread is not intended for... You need your own thread.

Agreed. My first question is... where did you find that tank? I've never seen one for the FZ6R with "YAMAHA" painted on it.

As for what I did to my 6R today, I removed all the stock decals from the front and side fairings, other than the "YAMAHA" ones down low, then went for my first ride of the year at 35 degrees. A short one, to be sure, but it felt great to get back on her.

Then I came back and cleaned and lubed the chain. Now she's ready to go anywhere once the weather cooperates.

Is there anyway to move my post to a new thread under GARAGE or do I need to recreate the post?

That Tank is the original white Tank. After I fixed the dents, I painted it Blue. The YAMAHA is a decal which is cleared onto the tank. I really wanted a little Retro touch. Not a big fan of the Emblem.

I decided to quit being lazy and created the new thread.

Exactly. Have you ever been 100% sure you were going to get the job youve worked toward for 15+ years, a position that comes up maybe once every 5-7 years at most, only to be told that someone whos been there longer but is less qualified got it. AND its not a union job so seniority SHOULD have nothing to do with it. That would explain the crack in the top of my desk.

Am sorry to hear that Jon

Hope ur hand is ok and that another opportunity at work presents itself soon. Sometimes, things happen for a reason and u may still very well end up on top of all this. Try to keep a positive outlook.

First ride to work for the season! The morning was a bit chilly at 47F but only my hands froze, so all in all pretty good. Afternoon at 57F was much better. I really need to look into some hand warmers....

 

[lwclancers]

FE and rear led signals, and license plate light. Almost set to ride!

New spark plugs & air filter. I decided that 29,000 miles was enough on the original plugs...lol

Look at simco or dual star grip heaters. Cheap and easy to install. Kept my hands comfy down to about 42 our so last Oct/Nov

LOL! Come on can't say it's the oil change from hell with no pics or comments.

Dropping my front end right now

 

[priotiynapkin]

went for a nice ride today after work. nice to go through some twisties instead of my daily commute in a straight line. breaking in my new Sedici boots slowly but surely. Hot enough to finally take the liner out of my jacket!

oh, and the wheelie thread inspired me to try to get my front end up on a straight away near my house the past couple days. Almost happened today but I didn't feel in control :wreck:
probably gonna wait till i find a place off the streets where i can do that..
