| Moto2 Contender   Joined: Oct 2007 From: from Wa, living on Grenada (island) I Ride: 2007 BMW F800S, 1999 ATK 605 ESDS/SM | What did you do to your bike today? This is a thread to post up all the random things you've done to your bike on a given day that may not be worthy of a thread on it's own. Most car forums have threads like this and they're almost always top of the 1st page and very well received. so yeah! I got my GSXR-integrated turnsignal mirrors back on my F800S |

| Chicken Strips  Joined: Sep 2010 From: Hood River, OR I Ride: 2006 Hayabusa | I thought there was another thread too. Oh well, I'll play. I cleaned the buttons on my front rotors using a bolt to spin them and degreaser to wash out the dust. I saw the idea somehwhere and it seemed like a good one. |

| Chicken Strips  Joined: Aug 2009 From: Renton, WA I Ride: S1000RR,SV650S,R75/5 | Getting gas, I noticed the heat from the last week (and 700 miles of riding) had vaporized any and all lube on my chain. In a pinch, I bought a tiny bottle of 3-n-1 multipurpose oil at the station and douched it....of course it flung everywhere but whatever. Only had to go another 20 miles but didn't wanna risk it. Oh....and spent $340.00 getting the annual and 12K inspection done @ the dealer. |

| Race Qualifier  | Pretty sure everything I do is important enough for it's own thread. With that said, I've done nothing to my bike today. |

| Endorsed  Joined: Jul 2010 From: Salem I Ride: '01 Yamaha FZ1, '10 Kawi KLX250S, '96 Suzuki DR650 | Last night I pulled the front wheel on my DR650 and put fresh grease on the axle and around the speedo sender because it was squeaking. Double-checked the wheel bearings (they're fine), reassembled. No more squeak! Glared at my FZ1 in disgust... need to pull the carbs yet again. Might try to find the motivation to do that today after work. Rob |
