When last we left the Bandit 7 months ago, it was in quite a state: Here it is today:  -- New Continental ContiMotions, which were on closeout and thus marginally cheaper than the Shinko 006's I would have otherwise bought -- New wheel bearings, F&R -- New HH brake pads, F&R -- New chain and sprockets, +1t in front to bring down the highway revs. There's more than enough power to overcome the steeper gearing. -- Fresh oil and filter, which involved using a breaker bar to loosen the drain plug, as well as a small hammer, screwdrivers, picks, and wire cutters to dislodge the remnants of the (likely factory) crush washer. Before having the tires mounted, I removed the rim tape and scrubbed/waxed the wheels. I also scrubbed the front rotors, and cleaned the sticky/seized buttons (which turned out to be all of them). In a rare moment of intelligence, I had stored the Corbin saddle indoors for the winter. I gave it some leather treatment and reinstalled it after washing and waxing the whole bike. The folks at D&D Exhaust were nice enough to send me a new silencer tag:  I bought the Bandit at the end of last June, and only put on a few hundred miles before the already-thin rear tire gave out (plus all the other deferred maintenance detailed above), and I had to mothball it for financial reasons. Looking forward to getting in a full season of riding this year.

Thank you, Tropical Storm Barry. Thanks a ton. Yeah, that's not good.   Tried cleaning off the corrosion with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush; no dice. The indicator lights and backlighting still work, but the dials and LCDs are dead. Guess I'm flying blind for a while.

Started and ran fine (albeit quite smoky for a minute or so). Broken LF indicator (which had been broken and patched before, nbd) and broken clutch lever. I now park on a different spot in my driveway, and always on the centerstand when not on pavement.

It's more fun when it happens at a stoplight. *bike runs fine coming to a stop* *carb runs dry waiting for light to change* *light turns green, bike dies*
