What did you do to your bike today?


I drove the Ram to my wife's work to take her to lunch since I can't ride or work yet. Sucks because it hit low 60's and it felt amazing in the sun. I would have loved to get the bike out today. Soon though. Left hand is good enough and will only get better, but the right and is only 3 weeks removed from surgery. So many bikes out today that it was killing me. Gotta watch though, because the roads are torn up bad from the hellish winter we had.
 
My girl's new shoes came in today. They get put on tomorrow! A set of Michelin Pilot Power 3's for the 6R. : )

Hope you love them. They've been great on wet days for me. I've also put about 6000 on them and they look like they might have another 6000. I'm curious to see how long they actually make it.

Yeah a lot of people in the forum said they like those tires so I went with those ones. I'm not much of an aggressive rider so the Q3's were out of the question.
 
put some new shoes on her! my PR2's lasted me about 10k miles but I needed a new rear because of a puncture that was plugged but started leaking again. still had plenty of tread. trying out some shinko 009s, can't ride them till tomorrow though. they were much cheaper but i'm hoping they're be alright

Anything aftermarket for performance (exhaust, PCV, etc.)? Marthy said before that his dyno numbers were better than those claimed by Yamaha. Could be that they low ball so that people will be happier when they actually check.

Airbox mod, juicebox, and exhaust.

Checked my chain slack on the 11th after a ride, OH boy is it off. Needs to be adjusted quite a bit. Explains the surging feeling I've had.

Dropped her off to get her new shoes put on. : ) Should have her back later today! Yay!
 
Tried out the new shoes on the lady when I got her back. Such a smooth ride. When going in for a turn, the bike easily dips down and takes the corner so nicely. Worth every penny. JT you were right. I love the new tires.
 
Stainless Steel header came today! Woot!

Yeah new tires have that special coating on them. Quite dangerous if you get a little fleeting with the throttle and some cornering.
