Changed the rear tire that came with the bike. It was a 195/65 slick that was 'grooved'. I am now running Pirelli 190/55 Rosso Corsa on the rear. Took it for 'Scrub run' up and down the DVP and Gardiner tonight. ;-)Picked this up on the weekend. Polished and wiped it down, lubed the chain. Took it for a little spin. Very sweet ride ....
I had an oil leak so I replaced the left crankcase gasket. Note to self: when removing and rebuilding the starter clutch do not re-use the old gasket. Put in a new one!
I also bled the brakes. Old fluid looked like crap. I ran through a reservoir of fluid for each disc then fine tuned it to get the air bubbles out. Way more stopping power and the spongy brake feel it gone. One thing leads to another as usual. Now that I have good front brakes again I am noticing just how much front end dive there is. Need to look into working on the front forks now.

Got the MC recall done on the 1000 (and rode over to check out the new RDT at Mosport on the way back). Got fuel for the trackbike and dumped the winter coolant from it.

This is why it pays to have boxes of random parts laying around. Dumped the YZ250F being an idiot and destoyed the throttle tube and blew the master cylinder seal. Cant get a rebuild kit until next week so...unknown model throttle tube, 99-02 R6 front brake master cylinder and lever, 03/04 R6 rear brake reservoir, random clear tubing and safety wire, stock banjo bolt...and we have front brakes. Not that I need them. Lol.

Dude, that's how I built my bike. Little of this, a little of that...

Thanks, First ride on my new PR4's. Felt really sticky, but are new, and street cleaners haven't been through yet, so...Yay gear!
