Time to start thinking about those winter plans.

So what’s on your plate?

Last winter saw a lot of work done for me so this winter I’m keeping it simple:

1. Brake service/cleaning including replacing caliper seals.
2. Go back to 17/40 gearing (currently 16/40).
3. LED’s for plate light integrated into tail light lens.
4. Refinish swingarm.
5. Prep second set of wheels for commuter use (BT-020’s ?)
6. Clean it with a toothbrush (er… clean the nitty gritty stuff).
7. Fresh set of plugs.

for this winter...
it cone go either one of these 3 pths for me

1- street bike.
- get new plastics painted and put on
- change breake rotors and/or rims as well
- complted the retro fit of the HID xenon projectors int omy headlight and mount it on the bike
- maybe get new tires
- sparks air filter and remap the PCIII

2- track bike. - depending on what happens in court.
- get race plastics
- change breake rotors and/or rims as well (basiclaly get it race ready)
- sparks air filter and remap the PCIII

3 - stunt bike. also depending on what happens in court, andif i finally motivate my slef this winter to actually get out and practice and learn
- get a cage
- remove all platcis
- get it to be streetabel but only to ride around localy.
- gearing

worst case senerio sell the damn bike.

i will probably keep riding the street bike, but the toothbrush cleaning sounds good...

track bike #1 (red 96 zx6r) will be winterized properly to be sold in the spring...

track bike #2 (01 blue zx6r) will probbaly be ridden once in a while, but id like to find a bolt on exhaust and put on stainless lines... Will look for a cheap set of track plastics as well..

non bike related will be to clean up the house (yeah right), schoolwork and snowboarding...

im going to swap out my head since my valves are all sorts of dirty and crusty for some reason since the bike was stock. possibly have it decked. ports and valves will stay stock and the cams will be re-degreed. clearances checked. possibly look for a few more ponies in other areas. not because i need them not because its going to make me faster so dont get on my case. i enjoy working on it. I dont even know if i will be racing next season i may be picking up a 2006 honda trx450r and racing in the dirt next season.

I will also be plowing and SMILING while you guys are frowning as i pull in the MONEY!

Steering head bearings - in progress

I'd love to get some Marchesinis but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Fixing up my SV. Maybe upgrading the brake lines/calipers/rotors and suspension.

Kennedy
10-21-2005, 09:43 AM
Brake upgrades, possibly repaint my track plastics, change the oil.....thats all I can't think of for now...its to early.

IMO, start with ss lines and HH pads...rotors should be fine, calipers are definitly fine.

So is the clutch hydraulic then?
Is that what that small master cylinder is for?

a cable clutch would be a freaking nightmare on the streets (HD clutch springs, etc)!
