Bike is grounded for a few days. Need some projects.
So my work let everyone off early today because of New Year's (and paid us for it too, yay). I decided "I have 3 hours of daylight left, let's change my oil!" And it was more hassle than I expected and I found out I was 0.5-0.7 litres too short in new oil (I put 5W 40 synthetic repsol because of the cold weather).
Needless to say, pretty much all of the bike shops are closed til thursday and I ended up ordering more oil from Revzilla, along with my chest/spine armor for my A* jacket. I decided to ground my bike until I get the oil I need. Any projects you guys recommend I do in the meantime? Anything from general maintenance to tuning? I already plan on cleaning my air filter and reinstalling my snorkel. |
