What did you do to your FZ today?

[Matt C.]

Ordered a 190/55 Road 2. On the hunt for a tail bag big enough for a 3 day trip and a small tent.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Matt

was cold and with snow still on the roads I decided to install my gammatronix volt meter. I like it better than the digi volt meter i had on before, its not as distracting.. tried to get it to shift display by running the brights and hazards but oh well

Put new grips on it.
Cut the spark plug wires.
Wiped the dirt off and rode 140 miles.

Cleaning(and kept my finger)

I cleaned the 08 from top to bottom, cleaned and lubed the chain, then topped off the coolant. DO NOT spin the back tire with your right hand, then wipe the excess WD40 off with the rag in your left hand. WTF?

I rolled my left index finger inside the chain and back sprocket twice. I decided NOT to attach the bloody finger photo. :kuku::kuku::kuku:

Great riding today with the wife. Early to church, bank, hardware store, brunch, then she got some very cool boots at local shop.

Changed the plugs and installed the AIS plates yesterday, what a major PITA. Installed iridium plugs so at least I wont have to do it again for awhile (although now they should be easy without the AIS) Tip: If you plan on installing the block off plates go buy yourself the right bit driver, trust me. I stopped half way through and went to the hardware store...

What kinda driver you talking about ? Allen or star or ?

Changed from a 17 to 16 tooth front sprocket, so I also added a Speedo DRD. While I had the tank lifted, I wired in a lighter socket to run my GPS with a 3 position fuse block so that I ca add other stuff later with ease. Also added a helmet lock like the one that you can only get in Japan. Will post pictures of it when I get a chance.

opcorn: my jury is out on the 16 tooth sprocket. Glad i have the 17t to put back on. Trail an error! lol!

16 tooth is a good deal.

You need a 5mm allen for the AIS plates. There isn't much room in there and it takes A LONG time using a allen key making 1/2 turns at a time. I bought some thing like this:

was thinking of jacking the tank up and pulling air box for room.
