Didn't do all this today, I've just been busy and haven't posted a lot.
1. Shimmed the carbs (two #4 washers worked perfectly for me) 2. Swapped the rear shock to a 2010 3. Replaced my rear caliper, flushed and filled fluid on both brakes. 4. New chain and sprocket set Bike runs better than ever |

Gave it a nice 90 mile commute to work today. It was a really nice morning of high 60's.
On the way home had a lot of fun riding with a random SV650 on the freeway. Filled her up with gas and went home. Gotta make sure to check my tire pressure and chain slack soon.

Pretty much, just trying to get the suspension track ready, so it's getting the whole shazam from gold valves to correct spring rates... Problem is I spend more time modding my bike than actually riding it... lol Just waiting for the oil now so I can put it back together.

Trying to resolve this valve tapping sound I am having. Wondering if it is possible my CCT is bad or m chain is really stretched.

Installed new breather filter for the crankcase
Removed and took apart my 4 piece exhaust in search of exhaust leak. Think i found one put new gaskets to the engine and used some exhaust leak sealer on the joints in hopes of rectifying some of my exhaust popping/backfiring issues. Will rejet hopefully tomorrow evening if my jets come in. |

Went out and rode 34 miles up and down the road before my late lunch, hope to get back at it afterwards!
Have thought about it, but haven't studied into it very much. Heck I thought Florida would be nice and sunny most of the time, kinda missed the rain all week memos |

Stripped mine down and did a streetfighter route and installed a TrailTech dash. Just gotta make a couple brackets for the front signals and it'll be set.

I am not having any luck here. Checked valve clearance on B motor and there's a chip on the leftmost exhaust can lobe. I am also seeing some pitting on the bearing surface on the cam covers. Draining the oil was more like pouring gas out... Will hopefully have it started tonight,

Mounted adjustable brake and clutch levers...getting the clutch lever closer in is particularly beneficial on the new 300 due to the short engagement at the far end. Riders with smaller hands would really benefit. Plus they are a huge step up in quality from the stock levers. The stock levers must cost Kawi about $1.50 each...............

Sucked trying to mount the motor last night. For some reason, I couldn't swing the motor into position with the front engine bolt in so I opted to lift the motor up into position with a ratchet strap. Flushed the coolant and rejetted my old carbs for this motor. I also swapped out the stock sprocket for my 15t for a pre-gen. Primed the carbs and she started! I'll be cleaning up the bike to get her back on the road again. May swap the GSXR shock in if I have the time.

Going to give it a nice hard ride tonight, since it's getting a new sibling on Saturday. I probably won't be using the 250 that much for the coming months

My PIRELLI Diablo Scooter rear tire arrived last night and had it mounted at a new shop BHP Motorsports for $15. Clean and re-greased all bearings/seals, lubed chain then took it around the block. Rear end felt stiffer. I'll put a lil time on it on my way to work later today. Can't wait to get the front done so I can feel comfortable pushin the twisties!

@kirk595x, nice on the tires! Get that front one on when you can. I've had a great experience with my Diablo Scoots. They feel just like the stockers in terms of weight, but they're better in every aspect (except maybe longevity of tread, but I'm not worried about that) and feel very nice all the way to the edge.
