Dropping in to say hello! Been a while!
05/10/22 9:37 AM

Hey guys! Been a while since I’ve been on here but I figured I’d drop in to say hi. Just got done doing some pre bike trip maintenance. Added the Braking rotors along with DP pads to replace my horribly warped factory units, changed out my leaking clutch slave cylinder, swapped on a Vortex keyless gas cap, rechecked all valve clearance, changed all fluids including F/R brake systems, coolant, and oil. Slapped on a fresh set of Michelin Road 5’s for added measure.

She’s ready for 4 days of fun in West Texas!!

Checked at 17,000 and 19,700. A few on the intake were at the bottom of spec, and all of the exhaust were nominal. Decided to let it ride for a few more thousand miles then I’ll tear it back down to adjust for nominal on the close to out of spec valves. Thanks everyone!
