Currently in process of lubing her up

Only the best for this girl

(Let the oil fights begin...)

Also inspecting the drive shaft oil level, topping off the front Master Cylinder, dropping the front a few MM to get me by until I put the /55/ PR4's on.

Also noticed some oil residue on the left side bottom of the cowl (Right near the '10+ drain plug) and traced it back to some breather tubes, so may try to see if I can work those so they're not dripping on the inside of the cowl.

Quite the fisheye lens you have there.
And what is that low-tech putt-putt beside the Concours?

"The best"? But that's Amsoil!

Oh, you must mean the Motul?

It's a GoPro Hero 3 White. May be purchasing a 3+ Black soon for work stuff

That's my Wifes V-Star 250 that she doesn't ride nearly enough. We're gunna get her a MC Permit so she can actually ride the thing legally with me, and get to learn the clutch before she takes the MSF Course to get her endorsement.

The Motul is Brake fluid. lol It came from the dealer with brake fluid pretty low, so I topped it off and good to go =D (also inspected EVERYTHING for leaks, all clean)

Yesterday I got my bike out of winter hibernation. I got her uncovered and checked and checked her over really close. No mice! The weather was nice and I really wanted to go for a ride but the roads around here are still white with salt. It rained last night so the salt should be gone today.

In the last week I changed the oil (Royal Purple Max Cycle), replaced the brake and clutch fluid, added a battery tender, put in a K&N air filter, and a Corbin seat. Rode to work today to try out the heated grips in 45 degree weather, yeah they work!

Sure but here in the California bay area it never gets that cold, had to wait for it to drop below 50 in the early morning just so I could give them a shot without sweating to much and ruining my nice leather gloves.

Having a nightmare trying to figure out what's going on with the forks. Now I know why it understeers.

I took them off to change the oil but it seems that whats in there is different from the book..I posted it elsewhere. Seems someone has been playing around with the bike.

Finally got to ride after 3 months! Put 200 miles on her that's what I did.

I haven't even pulled the bike cover off it since early November...sigh

Maybe in another couple weeks it will be more desireable weather

Rode to work 4x this week. Over the winter, I put 55w HID in it and PIAA Sport horns, massive improvement on both counts. Oh yeah, a Guhl reflash, OMG I love that mod. Can't help but say MWAH HAH HAH!! Over and over...

Thanks J! It seems that our recent glacial period has finally come to and end.

It was glorious yesterday. 55f and sunny. Just cool enough to wear all the gear and be very comfortable. I love this bike.
