After 8 days of working on/off on my bike, I finally got everything done.
Here is the list of what I did:
Valve shim adjustment
New tires
Grease drive shaft splines
Check front brakes thickness. New pads are sitting on shelf, ready to be installed in a few thousand miles.
KN air filter
Greased and tightened head bearings
Cam sensor o-rings
Fuji lock nuts on exhaust
New headlight bulbs
Cleaned battery terminals
Gear lube
Adjusted shift lever height
Fork rebuild. Race Tech springs, Gold valves, both compression and rebound. New fork seals and fork oil.
I sure can say that I did learn a lot and my mechanical skills have progressed. Starting the bike for the first time after the shim adjustment was tense. I hit the starter button and it fired for a second and quit. I freaked out! After pondering why, I decided to hit the starter button again. This time it didn't fire. Tried again, nothing. Third time I twisted the throttle a bit and success. Purr'd like it usually does.Tense moments though.
A short ride of about 3 miles is all I did tonight. Maybe monday I will go ride around Lake Okeechobee, if time allows. Tomorrow is Vmax day!!
And the really good news is that I didnt break a nail. However my nail guy is going to freak out when he see's my nails. He has his work cut out for himself on Tuesday
