Ordered a screw and an oil filter for the VFR and a couple oil filters and crush washers for the DRZ. Friday I need to run to the bike shop and see what they can do for tires on the VFR. Their tire prices are right in line with the online places if you get them put on there, also.

I went to the local shop's open house day which didn't seem to be a whole lot different than their normal Saturdays other free hot dogs than a rather attractive girl in a bikini washing bikes. She was a 'Bama fan, though, so I couldn't let her touch my bike. I also spent too much money on tires and the installation of them. Plus side, I got to talk to a guy with a DRZ who has done pretty much everything short of a stroker on it. Nice guy.

I don't think Spencer will widen a seat, though. He just goes with the stock design.

Rode into work on the DRZ. Some guy in a car hollered to me asking what it was. I told him and he said he rode a Monster. He said it looked "kinda like a Hypermotard, huh?" I just said "kinda" and cried on the inside. Thanks Ducati.

My SV's tank had a hinge and a kickstand. I really wish my VFR did.

I decided to put the Vance & Hines slip-on I got with my VFR. Got the stock muffler off (and immediately noticed a significant weight difference), then went to put the V&H on, and after struggling to get it to go on, noticed I had messed up the muffler gasket. Ripped that off and now I have to order a new one.  http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1998-honda-motorcycle-vfr800fi-interceptor-muffler/o/m2795sch92523 Part 7. Guess I'll order new hardware while I'm at it since all the bolts and the collar are a bit rusty. =/ Also bought three gallons of Rotella T6 since you can get them for $20 total after rebate if here's an Advance Auto near you.

Used Sunlight sales posted:I also put on some 1 inch drop pegs because I am six feet tall and Buell's are made for short fuckers. I think Erik sized the bikes for him and him only. Any shorter than 5'6" and you might have problems touching the ground flat foot. Any taller than 5'8" and it's not comfortable at all.

Went to go ride the DRZ, but I think the battery is toast since it won't charge above 15% according to my charger.

I'm getting the VFR ready to sell, and that requires a new battery. So I went and bought one.

Unfortunately, it's not much of an option for us city-dwellers. Well, okay, it is, but getting a place with a garage is difficult, at best, and would cost as much as a second bedroom, which I can't afford on my own, anyway. (Although if I get the raise I'm hoping for, this might be different next year.)

I went to go bleed the VFR's clutch. I got as far as getting the fairing off and removing one screw from the reservoir, at which point I stripped the gently caress out of the other screw.

I ordered a vanity plate for the DRZ. It's an organ donor plate reading "SPL4T."

Nitramster posted:Cleaned and lubed the chain, first time since I got the bike, I shoulda done this sooner I'm sure. Question: I used some spray on Motul stuff that turned yellow my uncle had, I had no idea how much to use, I didn't cover the entire chain I just sprayed through the links, not so much on the cross bars (idk what they're called, the part the teeth actually grab) Should I put another coat on and cover that poo poo? (I really should have taken a pic but I had to get to work.)

mootmoot posted:I bought the Daytona because IMO it looks the coolest. The 'Daytona' at the bottom is awesome - kind of like a font like how 'Baywatch' was written, some retro 80's Miami beach combined with modern cutting edge bike power. The whole shape of the bike looks great. Plus it's red so perfect. I heard that it was the best in it's range. Less bothered about that but it's still cool.

Today I went to bleed the clutch on my VFR. I did it. Or I thought I did. It still doesn't clutch right. But at least it fires up without an issue. I'm going to do it again tomorrow, hoping I just didn't get all the air out or something.

When I first found there was a problem, it would clutch properly if I pulled the lever all the way in. Now it doesn't even do that, as far as I can tell. Trying to drop it into first just kills the bike.
