No. Only when I want to add a endorsement. To add the Moto endorsement I have to take a total of 7 written tests and the skills test. Still have 3 written to do.

Holy $hit!!! I'd probably have given up on riding if I had to go through that. I did my MSF like 4 years ago, just couldn't get a bike until last year. We only have a written test to get the initial permit, although in MSF we took written tests as well and a skills test. I don't think our DMV makes you take an additional written for your license though.

Almost done with my honey-do-list and then it's time to ride. Gonna do an oil change and clean and lube the chain tonight if I have the time. Here's a pic after some recent mods, except stomp grips aren't on yet. Gonna wash her up first.

It's only because I haven't taken the tests in a while. That and I have all trucking endorsements. I take class A,C, and M general knowledge then air brakes, tankers, doubles/triples and hazardous materials. After this it will be a basic renewal type of thing.

Changed the oil and filter (Mobil 1 4t synthetic and kn 204 filter) and cleaned and waxed chain. Didn't get out for my ride :( Next week I'll be able to commute on the bike finally. Only calling for chance of rain Tuesday.

Went for a nice ride with my lady the other day. we started doing more twisties and less just cruising around, and she says she seems to enjoy it.

Lubed my chain the other day, and today I changed the oil and filter. This is my second oil change since I got the bike, and I was shocked at how dirty the oil was this time. I'm guessing the dealer I bought it used from must have changed it before they sold it to me, because it was so freakin dirty this time!

New spark plugs are still sitting on my desk staring me down...

Anyways I've had the bike almost a year now (since labor day last year) and I'm loving riding and loving my bike and everything :)

Coolant change

I changed out the coolant. I never use the premixed because it gets diluted with whatever is retained in the engine.

I drained out the old, rinsed with distilled, brought it to temp with distilled, then repeated. I have a 1000ml graduated cylinder, so I measured out a liter of Peak GLOBAL Lifetime and put it in. I could then only get 600ml of distilled water in the radiator. After burping I got maybe another 100ml in. That means the engine retains about 300ml or 15%. If you use premixed, you're diluting it with 300ml of water, so you end up with 42.5% antifreeze, not 50%. What does it matter? Not much unless you have Canadian-like winters or are OCD about it like I am. I did the overflow bottle separately.

BTW you can view the level in the overflow bottle without taking the fairing off. Just back light it with a flashlight around the exhaust headers and peak around the rear edge of the right fairing.
