Can't remember the last time, no. Maybe it's so obvious it goes without saying ?

Since christmas I've stripped the back end and greased the swingarm beaarings, re-sprayed the shock, re-sprayed the swingarm and gave it a right good cleaning all over.

I also fitted heated grips and a scottoiler and some spotlights like mentioned on a recent thread, she's looking good now so next day im home early I'll get a few pics taken and fire em up here  :good:

I changed the pilot jets to 142.5s and replaced the idle air screws with the extended ones from Factory Pro.  I must have got the mixture pretty good because it rode like a champ today.  Of course it was about 0C today, so hopefully it isn't too rich when things warm up in a couple months.

 

I also attempted to re-install the speedometer needle.  After a previous repair, it was running about 10mph too fast.  Now it is closer to 15mph too fast.  I guess I will be toying with that again.

Weather change, south wind & temperature around 12°C killed the snow, time to take the bike for a ride. Smile

She was sleeping inside the garage since two months but the engine fired at the first button push.

Good girl ! :good:

 

Now she needs a full front & rear suspension service / tyre change... :unsure2:
