I'll be doing my second oil change since I had the bike. I'll plan on taking the bike to get it dyno'd to get a base line of what it makes and the A:F ratios before I install my exhaust and the dynojet 2193 kit.

I'm waiting money to pickup a turn signal flush mounted and a fender eliminator. Probably in a month I got that mods.
And a new revision in 150 km. Maybe before my weekend ride.

My led bolts came in the mail today and I put them on using the stock setup for the wires. They look good but don't seem like they light up my plate very well. Tbh idc because now I can't be pulled over for not having them. They really do look great with the fender eliminator I did last week .

I just changed my oil since I didn't get to do it the other day and just found out I'm missing the washer that goes on top of the spring for the oil filter. Dang.

I just added some reflective white rim stripes that I got at a kawasaki / Honda / Yamaha dealer in manassas. They are far from perfect but idc, I didn't expect them to be. They match the kawasaki stickers that are on the bike, I like them .

Well originally i took the bike apart because i had clogged jets and needed to clean them, once i saw how annoying the airbox was i decided to do the pod filter setup and paired it with bigger jets. The problem is I started this process probably a month ago and I was a wee bit disorganized. Cant say I remember exactly where all the hoses plug back into and how to just put everything back together. Gonna have to buy a service manual cuz i dont wanna risk really messing things up :/

I was trying to race a storm home. It had rained earlier in the day so the road lines were still wet. I took a turn a bit too hot and had both wheels slide out; luckily I turned uphill with a stop about 10 yards away. Like I said, both wheels slid out but I kept my cool and kept her up; that was fun . I hit my first dead animal while riding 2 up with my gf on the back, we don't have helmet-to-helmet communication but even at 60mph I could clearly here her yell "EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!" .

installed a TYGA oval CF exhaust, stage 2 jet kit, k&n filter, and pulled the snorkel... boy that was a long night.
pulling the carbs was no joke! not that it was hard, but just very labor intensive. ...oh and i swapped the crappy screws on the fuel bowls with some stainless socket heads |

Lubed and greased clutch cable and cable barrel end, installed eBay brake and clutch levers, applied some Bel-Ray waterproof grease to the brake lever contact point (looks like a metal disk with a rubber surround; there was some kind of grease there from the factory so I figured I should put some on). Clutch lever squeaks sometimes, and there's more vertical play than the stock lever. Haven't gone for a ride yet, don't know if it's going to rattle.
Thank you for the DYIs, kkim and noche_caliente! |

Nice 3 day weekend.
Decided to finally install the shogun frame sliders. Took a couple of hours. Dont know why they call it 'no cut' when you have to cut the sprocket cover ! |

I have it tore apart at the moment. 1/3 of the engine is sitting on a towel on top of a table 3 feet from the right side of the bike. My roll away tool box is sitting caddy cornered to the bike and table with my "track" tool box and my socket set also on top of the roll away.
I have paper towels stuffed into the airbox and the cylinder head and I have electrical tape on top of the petcock and vacuum lines and all of the lines to the carbs to keep the critters out of the engine. The tractor is sitting in front of the left side of the bike, the front loader about a foot from the left side. I just got back to Dallas and I won't see it until Friday night. Can't wait to get my parts this week and rip more stuff off of it next weekend and get 'er going! (IF the parts come in soon enough.)

Today I pulled my engine down for a rebuild. I did a little damage in May . I got into some pre Ignition and holed a piston. No biggie .But I don't want to do that again. So I am going to do all sort of stuff involving data acquisition Like make a dual exhaust system with not only O2 sensors to measure the air Fuel ratio .But I am going to add exhaust gas temp sensors as well.
Also I will polish the combustion chambers and deshroud the valves I have till September to get it all together .That seems like a long time ,But I have a lot to do. |

Track Day
www.motoyard.com DOUBLE track day (Streets of Willow and the big track). First time using my own bike at the track. Very pleased with how the Bridgestone Battleax BT 45's performed.

Took all my fairings off including, for the first time, the front fairing. I finally switched my headlight and mirrors to the new front fairing I've been sitting on for a year (I put a small crack in the original by trying to ride off with a cable lock threaded through the tire/forks/fairings). I'm going to repair the original and sell it.
Anyway, at the same time, I bought a pack of eight rubber well nuts and eight blue bolts with the intention of replacing all the bad rubber well nuts on the bike. After finding several more well nuts than I knew existed before, it turns out that it wasn't nearly enough. Ah well. Eight blue bolts wasn't nearly enough either, though I really only bought the $16 pack for the well nuts. Now it's going to cost me $32 total for all the bolts and well nuts but buying them from someplace else would only give me miss-matched bolts! Here are the locations of all the rubber well nuts that I know of: 2x in the tail fairings under the passenger seat/solot sport cowl. 2x in the undertail, one of which requires removing the right-side passenger peg (you can leave your exhaust "floating") 2x in the RH lower fairing 2x in the LH lower fairing 2x in the windscreen 2x in the fairing stay under the windscreen/upper fairing (longer bolts from the bottom of the windscreen) 2x inside the upper fairing for the headlight mount Even though I've never taken the front fairing off before, I found one of the inner well nuts holding the headlamp on to be smashed into two pieces, so this shows that it has nothing to do with users not being careful and everything to do with bad rubber. The only four that could be reused in my case were the two in the RH lower (probably replaced on a previous dealer service) and the two in the upper windscreen (go figure... the MOST exposed). Even so, they were badly deformed and it likely would not have been possible to remove them. Luckily, I didn't have to remove the windscreen ones to transfer it to the new upper fairing. At the same time I replaced a couple plastic rivets with ones from a generic metric bike hardware kit from Cycle Gear. Only one of my six small rivets was broken but I replaced two to keep things even (they looked different; the kit only had two that fit). I replaced the front-facing large rivet because all of them looked ratty and, well, the kit only included one large rivet that would fit. There was a much smaller one that sill looked to have the right size underneath but I'll try that one in the future. I removed my gauge cluster to replace the rubber bulb over the trip meter reset button but I somehow misplaced my replacement and had to put it all back together. It was actually the only reason I decided to go ahead and spend all day taking everything else off and now I'm going to have to do it again. I finally found the rubber piece AFTER arriving at work but I needed it all back together to get to work. Unfortunately, I spent too long looking for it and had to hurriedly put it all back together. As a result, I dropped and lost one of the tiny copper lock washers from an electrical terminal on the back of the gauge cluster and I forgot to reconnect my speed sender untill AFTER the upper fairing and shroud parts had all been secured and riveted. That was tough to do blindly! I forgot to reconnect my headlights until all the fairings were installed but that was MUCH easier. I found that getting the two well nuts between the windscreen and the upper fairing stay installed with shorter bolts (like with a colored bolt kit) was almost impossible to do by reaching around and squeezing the well nuts. I could only get one to thread that way. Instead, I took the fairing off and partially threaded the well nut just enough so that it was still straight (not deformed) and then worked the fairing into place, forced the well nuts into the stay mounts, and screwed them down to secure. Despite my coolant leak on the left side (intermittant drip; dries white/chalky), my reservoir was at full after months of not checking (almost impossible with the fairings on). I actually left in the middle of all that to buy coolant because I was so sure that it would need some! Yes, I did check with the bike level/upright. I did encounter some problems. When I first turned the bike back on, I had no light behind the speedometer. After moving the bike only a tiny bit it came on and stayed on for my test ride and my commute to work. It appears to be fine but I don't know what caused it. Perhaps the missing copper washer? Now that I've found the replacement rubber bulb for the trip meter reset button, I'll be taking it apart again but I'd like to know if I need one of those little copper lock washers BEFORE I go through that again (I don't want to do it a THIRD time!). Also, I can see some light bleeding in from the right of my fuel gauge so the alignment is off there somehow. That's all stuff to look at when I do the rubber bulb! That said, I tore the old rotted rubber bulb into three pieces when trying to get it out before I knew I had lost the replacement so I had to rubber cement it all back together to keep water out. Condensation inside my gauge cluster from the rotted bulb + rain has caused crazy-weird behavior in the past. Oh, and I cleaned all my old fairings in a tub, which made for one heck of a clean-up job with tons of pebbles/grit and waxy/oily stuff in the tub. I doubt I'll try that again. I did find that I've run over things that scuffed up the undersides of my lower fairings so I need to polish them with some rubbing compounds to see if that helps. |

I rode her to work and the forecast said the rain would be an hour later than it was...I got soaked on my way to work and so did my ninjette. I just ordered her some new goodies too . A 15t front sprocket, a db puig windscreen and a nice tank bag. O, and I ordered my new A&L rearset adjusters earlier too... I can't wait to get this stuff on my bike; they will all be my first real mods to it .

Took the exhaust system off today, cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted with 2000F primer & flat black paint. The painted exhaust parts were rusty, but solid. Decided to paint the complete exhaust system.

I scratched my tank with my jacket somehow so I'll be putting on a tank pad. I also need to clean and lube my chain after the ride in the rain. Also ordered an aero skirt for my Scorpion Exo 400 helmet to reduce the wind noise. My Dainese one piece came in. Just need to clean it and recondition the leather.
