What did you do to your bike today?

Rode it.

Got my license yesterday but couldn't tax it as insurance dragged their asses sending paperwork over.

Taxed it this morning then done 35 miles locally in pouring down rain. So much nice to ride an the Kawasaki I learnt on. Almost no vibes compared to the twin. Although I had a 650 single rotax quad before... That thing vibes like hell.

Planning on riding Saturday and Sunday to get some more miles under my belt.

like I said, even in 60 deg weather... when everyone else fingers have a chill, you're will be toasty warm...


if you have grips you like already, you can the cheaper route with the symtec undergrip heaters... since my grips were pretty worn out, I just went with these. Here's a link to Jays thread on the under grip one

Got my new tires (Metzler Sportec M5) mounted, put everything back together and took her for a ride. First impression of the tires is good, but I didn't push them too hard.

Just got my Marthy Danmoto exhaust set up. :) night and day difference. Best mod I ever made. Thanks to Martin for making it happen!

Once you go Marthy you can't go back!

Started goofing off with some plasti dip. Finished the front fender but it has to finish drying before seeing the final results. Got the matte gun metal. If this works out good the rest of my plastics will follow.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1381025991.564402.jpg

Ordered some Turbulent Black Flushmounts, Spidergrips Peak grips, have a 12V to install, installed a K&N filter, have a Driven 17T front sprocket, and waiting on my ZX6 mirrors.

Oh yeah, also waiting for the title from the persons bank I bought it off of to get my plates.

I have a problem with not modifying my rides. The Ranger, the Mustang, my wife's Focus, and now the Bike all have been upgraded at least a tad.

This weekend I cleaned the whole undercarriage of my bike. I recently had my 600 mile service done and there are two possibilities

A) The lube the shop used sucked and they didn't pat the chain dry so tons of lube flung everywhere.

B) The overfilled oil reservoir and the extra pressure caused oil to leak everywhere. Sludge was at angles around the filter that makes me feel like oil leaked from the filter seal rather then fling from the chain.

I drained the ridiculously overfilled oil(see picture of where the level was at).
Reading online I have to check the spark plugs and airbox. On the drivers right side there was clean oil leaking. Found the highest point where I saw oil and its a bolt on the engine. Fear the seals are ruined now too...

I had to go back to college so I haven't taken a ride since cleaning it to look for any more leaking. What makes it worse though is that I'm at over 1k miles now(one long trip back from the dealer and one big trip to Shenandoah National Park). I didn't check the oil before the trip cause I just had a service and trusted their work.

Wife says I can buy a new bike. Looks like I'll be getting a new '14 GSXR1000 once the dealer gets them in. I tried to talk her in to riding the 6R, but she's in love with a white '11 GSXR600. So, I'm not quite sure of the fate for my bike. I might just keep it for the simple fact that it's paid off and it's still new. Only 1300 miles on the damn thing. lol. Maybe I'll try and sell it privately if anything. *shrug*
