Hey Keven, shimming is a definite if you haven't done so. Since you have an 08, do you know when the last time your brake fluid or spark plugs were changed? Spark plugs are supposed to be at 7500 and 15k (and IIRC, you're close to 15k) and brake fluid is supposed to be changed every 2 years (might as well go stainless steel!). If you have the stock airbox, the air cleaner element is supposed to be replaced every 2 years. Coolant, radiator hose, and O-ring every 3 years.
I just changed my oil today as well (wasn't going to lug two quarts to your place). If we go to the Ticket to Ride event before hand, chances are we won't have time to do your valve check since your engine will be warm and weather is getting into the 80's. From what I gather from the posts, here are some of the mods we have planned: -oil change and carb sync for anyone that needs it -shimming your needles (and jetting for Dustin and Alex) -I have a GSXR shock to install -if Alex brings his old turn signals, I'm converting them back to flush mounts -Dustin's clipons and hugger if he can hold out Here are some things you can do: -brake fluid and SS swap -coolant change -spark plugs and valves (it took me a few hours to do valves though so it might be too ambitious with everything else) -brake pads -chain adjustment/alignment And Alex, I can bring my camera to take lots of pics |

If I hold out on the hugger I'll need to drop it off the night prior as there is no way to bring it with me on the bike.

Alright, good stuff there. Shimming sounds good. Anyone have extra washers? If not i'll grab some. I got zero service history for the bike so I guess I should do all I can. Since I don't think I have time to order stainless lines i'll probably wait on the brakes. I'll try to gather the parts for the coolant too. Any good place to get this stuff locally or just go to the dealer and bend over? Thanks Cuong. IT'S OFFICIAL... I HAVE THE 10TH OFF NOW Just wanted it to be clear..

I plan to go to the ticket to ride on Sat as well, just because I don't want to miss the opportunity to ride everything...lol. I signed up for the LA one too. It doesn't say what time the event starts... how long do we plan to stay there before leaving, seeing as how the tech day could turn into an all day affair? Just curious

10th sounds good then. So far confirmed are myself, Dustin, Keven, Alex, and Jeff. I also got in the Area P group buy, but I'll probably install that beforehand unless you guys want to see the installation. If so, I probably have to drop if off at Keven's before hand.

I would love to come down! I need to do a oil change pretty soon. Still reluctant to do it myself
What time is everyone thinking on the 10th? I'm about 1.5 to 2 hours away so I gotta plan my departure lol First ever long haul on my bike too, not sure if I want to man up and take the trip |

Asking about oil gets complicated, just read around I guess. It would proabably be more convenient to buy it closer to here then riding with it for 2 hours |

Would it be okay for me to drop off my hugger the night before? If not, I guess I'll just put it on before next weekend... because I certainly can't ride down with it. Just getting a feeler.

Hey Kevin, Jeff is coming from LA so maybe you guys can also meet up on the way down. There usually isn't much traffic on sundays either. I'm thinking of skipping the event now too (I've seen plenty of kawasakis).

Well, I can't do Sunday, but I wish you guys luck and I hope to make the next tech day! If anyone needs to borrow my my bead breaker or rear stand and spools, you are welcome to stop by on the way (Mira Mesa area) but I've got to leave to work ~3:00PM. FWIW, a new Harbor Freight just opened on Miramar Rd if anyone needs to pick up cheap tools along the way, though I think Chula Vista already had one (weird that SD proper didn't).
Last time I rode up there from SD I took PCH most of the way home and it was MUCH more interesting. I was wearing a couple tires too! |

I'll definitely have to try that next time... as I mentioned cruising down the 5 is extremely boring... at least PCH would have better scenery

It's a Kawasaki event where you can demo their bikes.
http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...ht=ticket+ride They're in San Diego the 9th and 10th (address says San Mateo, but I'm sure they mean San Diego as in Mission Valley). They'll be in LA at the end of the month. And Dustin, I have to work Saturday afternoon, so maybe we can do it in the AM? I just have to go after 1 pm. |

Bring oil, a filter, and a crush washer for the drain plug. If your bike doesn't have spools yet try to pick some up. |

I have a ton of extra washers I can bring so don't worry about that. I'd also recommend buying the oil while you're down here so you don't have to backpack it a couple of hours.

I was no if this weekend so I have not kept up. I will e at tech day on Sunday and will skip the SD ticket to ride on Saturday then as I have too much to do this weekend to ride both days.
Who all ammo meeting up with and what times? I'll meet Kevin fro Tustin so he won't have to ride alone and I'll puck up anyone in between as we get to them just need to know who so I can plan a route. What time are we starting and I say HELL YES to cooking some stuff up, I'll chip in when I get there. Unless a local shop has some grips and bar ends I like I'll just be chilling and doing an oil and filter change and hit my chain up. Still will be fun though. |

I'll let Keven set up a time since it's his place. Not sure where in Chula he lives in, but there's 4 dealerships in Chula and even a motorcycle salvage yard if anyone needs odds and ends.
I have some progrip grips I havent installed yet if you want to check them out. Dustin and I have Sato racing bar ends (long and short versions), but most places carry generic bar ends. I'll bring my mini-torch to at least break off your bar ends to make it easier for you when you do decide to change them. The goal is so everyone can see the different procedures in person. Looks like it's gonna be a fun event! |

Might as well post some details.
Meeting place will be my parent's place 3197 Kennelworth Ln Bonita, 91902 The Google directions are correct, mapquest im not sure sometimes people get sent the wrong way. Time? Not sure...10:00? Earlier? Basically i'll head over there in the morning and be there all day so it's an open invitation to come whenever. Closest big place is South Bay Motorsports, smaller place is JP Motorsports. Those are the only two i've been to. |

Looks like from my place it'll take about 1 hr 15 mins. So... if we are talking like 10 if you are coming by my area around 8:45 that would work out to ride together. I would be down for earlier too... just don't want to get there to early for Keven
I'm super excited for this weekend!!!

Also for those riding long distance, my best advice is to hydrate and start doing squats! Your quads will be soooorrreee or maybe I'm just insanely out of shape.

I would kinda like to see the brake lines installed as it will be something I intend to do down the road. Although I've never changed out my header I'm pretty sure thats a straight forward swap (and ohhh so pretty) so I wouldn't be hurt if you did that ahead of time
