I went out for 1.5 hours today and it was awesome. Got home before the rain started... again.

I'm doing a bunch of stuff! New fork oil/oil seals/bushings, service the headset, spark plugs, air filter, oil and filter change, and I might even wash it when I'm all done.
Hope there's no spare parts.

I'm envious, because if I did this to my Tenere, I would never get it back togetherHope there's no spare parts.
Parts....hmmm..I spoke with my local dealership yesterday about an air filter.
Yamaha in Toronto are shut down, so not parts available.
I called two other dealerships and no answer. My air filter is not critical, however I thought I should change it after a season and 22,000 km 16,000 miles of riding. Good luck with sourcing parts.

Shumba, I took in Canada Day in Canmore, AB 8 years ago. Wonderful day, great fireworks, and the Mounties in full dress and parade formation was way cool. OH CANADA...........! BEST Neighbors.
Thanks man, I swiped it off someone's neighborhood facebook post. There were a lot of kids and adults out for the ride around the neighborhood. Apparently my flag "lended legitimacy" to what we were doing.elricfate that is a great pic.

We're all one nation right now, man. Plus you Canadians are a pretty great top-floor renter. Not a lot of noise, share you beer and syrup, pretty solid neighbors.

About a month or so ago, I took the plunge and ordered a full Racetech suspension. New front fork internals springs, valves, etc... and a rear G3 shock from them. I recently got the front forks back from a local shop and spent this past weekend putting her all back together. I had taken the front wheel off (obv. because I brought the forks in) and the rear wheel off in anticipation.
What I didn't expect was the amount of extra stuff I would need to remove to get the rear shock in the bike. Once I put the front back together, I had to remove my skid plate, remove the exhaust from the header (could leave the slip-on on), to get a linkage knuckle out from under the bike. That's where the rear shock and dog bones all come together. Once that knuckle was out, rear shock slid in without issue and I could put 'er all back together.
Road the bike today into work. It was a brisk 32F out but it still felt amazing and great to be back in two wheels.

After a days ride I took it to the car wash sprayed the wheels and tires off good. Rain tomorrow so looks like a good time to mount tires. Off with the TKC's and on with A3's.

A short jaunt through the woods on my daily commute. The Shinko 705 does not work well in mud

You spent money on a car wash when tomorrow it is free!After a days ride I took it to the car wash
I have been using Motosport for OEM Japanese bike parts for years and I have always been quite satisfied with their prices and their service.
No probs with cooling doing this? I snapped a coil trying to get it out after previous owner had rode on a beach and not cleaning afterwards.
