What have you done for your bike today????

[Janx101]

reckon its a case of you 'may have to' ... with some bikes who knows whats been adjusted this way or that way by a previous owner or mechanic?...

and each bike in different countries with slightly different fuels/weather-temps etc .. is going to behave a little differently too...

of course if you had yours dialed in pretty neat before a filter change then it might have been within the acceptable difference range too!!

bargain!!

Only if you like LOUD bikes lol
And be prepared to rejet if you install the lunchbox I didnt and my bike runs fantastic but everyone says you have to?

What if you're already jetted for a full exhaust and K&N drop-in? Would I have to rejet if I add the lunchbox? I like me some intake noises.

If you are already tuned in for the K&N drop in I would think you would be ok for the Lunchbox.
This is my opinion only

Finally fixed the transmission cover on my bike, filled her up with oil, and took her on a long deserving ride

Converted entire dash/guages to leds. Used t10 7 leds for the oil, neutral, and turn indicator and used a single led for my high beam indicator. Guages have radial leds.

It's running so well right now, not sure if I want to fiddle with it just for some more intake noise. If it ain't broke don't fix it sorta thing.

If a used one comes up for cheap I might grab it.

Did a 3-point clutch adjustment and closed the idle screws half a turn. Wanted to take it for a ride today, but it has been raining all day.

I have to look into doing this soon as well.

@snake this might help you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390440368546?ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1427.l2649

I bought all mine from this guy excluding the gauge lights which i got from china. They're loads cheaper than superbrighteds and it took a whopping 3 days to get to me from cali (i live in nj). They needed no modifications, just plug and play and the turn signal works just fine too

I changed out the hoses and fuel switch tonight.

Today I checked my oil. It needed a little bit. I always keep oil full. It is sad motorcycle does not have oil window but oilstick is OK I suppose. And I checked my air pressure in my tires. The air pressure was OK. I like to keep my air at high pressure like 40 in back and 35 in front tire. Sometimes I put 40 in front but then it is too hard for me. And I put some oil on my chain. I use 40sae oil on my chain. Do you think that is OK for Australia? Some of my friends at uni use a white grease for their chain. Is that good too? Also I tightened the bolt on my headlamp right side because it had got loose. Then I went to Miranda to get some things. Next week I will take off NSW registration paper holder because we do not need that anymore but I have to buy new tool to get number plate bolts off. I was going to use pliers but I am worried that bolt will be damaged.

Chopped off the tail!!!  just kidding, it bolts on and off

• I did the katana shock swap
• Decided that it was maybe time to finally do something about the paint maybe
• in the process of redoing the battery box from the sv650 tail

[ShanghaiPete]

Wow chopping off the tail on your gs500 is INCREDIBLE.....

Bobber style is fun and I was doing that for a while, but I'm using a sv650 tail at the moment. I made it so I could bolt on or off the oem sv650 subframe.

This picture was taken about 10 min later:
