awesome, congrats! :thumbup:

 

Changed oil and filter.

 

Installed annitori quick shifter but am yet to test it out:verysad::verysad: pulled off the tank and air box, connected everything up, gave it a clean put back on the air box and tank, then after many attempts the bike finally fired up and ran rough with the check engine light alight, the idle sort of smoothed out but seem to idle higher then normal.

After a bit of searching on the forum realised I hadn't connected the vacuum line to the map sensor, so the test will have to wait till tomorrow.

 

Picked it up on Monday :rofl2:
Rotated the lever mounts forward on Tuesday so I could actually see something in the mirrors.
Today going to the post office to pick up a 7kg delivery from Jack Lilley. The other 6kg package should be here on Monday :nod:

 

Looks great!

Cyl 3 bounces between 710 and 700
Cyl 2 is 710 and 720
Cyl 1 is 710 and 720

3 need to be adjusted or is that with in spec

 

Technically you are within spec but if you are bored (or OCD like me) then .........

hah!

 

Got bored with the bike being stock for so long (5 days) so fitted a few goodies :smilielol5:
Bar end mirrors, Evotech tail tidy, LED indicators, shorty levers, quick shifter, anodised brake reservoir, seat cowl, chain toe guard.
Also removed pillion pegs.
Checked the sag and set the damping to comfort.

Then tripled the displayed mileage (300km now) :grin:

I'll fit the rest of the bits next weekend, and the Arrow the weekend after, just before the first service.

 

White looks so good!

 

Did a few laps around the bike in the garage yesterday. Opened the garage door and promptly shut it. 22 degrees out with 20+ mph wind = ffuuugggg that! :smilielol5:

 

Took the battery out of the STR today.....she's sleeping for the winter! Was nice to visit her in the shed... The Harley gets the garage...but I might switch them out...:unhappy:

 

Bought it new shoes

Actually busy, busy weekend with the Striple, fitted new front brake pads, had a set of Dunlop Sportsmax's fitted, and replaced the TOR Exhaust with a second hand Dan Moto system, only a touch louder than the TOR pipes and around 5 Kg lighter, woo as they say who and went back to the narrower BMW K75S bars.:grouphug2:

 

Got a couple projects lined up for off-season. Will fit a volt meter to keep tabs on charging system and plan to redo my seat.

I fitted an EvoTech radiator guard. With winter starting here in NY, it's probably going to be a while before I get to ride again.

 

I'm thinking about picking up the rolling motorcycle stand thing from harbor freight.

 

I use that in my garage and have nothing but good things to say about it. I have a hard time imagining how a pitbull stand is any better. It lifts the tire off the ground and rolls around my garage just fine. The only thing I can think of that would be better would be something with 360* casters so I could shove it into a corner sideways. But it's hardly a concern.

 

Today, I rode my Street Triple. It was cold.

 

Today I got up at 6am(23F) and went for a ride. I was headed to meet some ADV guys who were dual sporting in the Ozark NF. I haven't ridden the StRiple in a week and figured I ride street today, instead of dirt. After 10 miles, I stopped for fuel. Once I was done fueling up, I hit the start button and... no love. After a few attempts to push start, on my own, a guy at the station gave me a push. Got it rolling, 2nd gear, pop the clutch and the StRiple fired up. I rode home, put the bike up and went back to bed. Yesterday I fixed a short on my 650GS but didn't even think to put the StRiple it on the trickle charge. Oh well, live and learn... :thumbup:

After I replaced the rear brakes on my wife's car, I washed the StRiple and adjusted the headlights, hoping to improve my evening commute.

Yesterday, went riding a bit... It was FUN.

Today.. I got some matt white cans and played around with the rat street triple.. Blackadder is my handle on most other forums, in case you were confused.

 

That thing is way too dirty for my liking!

I wish I had the nerve to do this. I love the look, tough as hell. And so what if something is scratched or scrapped, just adds to the look.

 

Maybe throw some dual sport tires on there and pull the front fender..

 

Uncovered her today,
Looked at her Sexy Naked ST3 Body, Gently touched her Shiny Black Skin (paint),
Stared into her big beautiful Eyes (headlights),
Whispered to her, baby you need Protection,
So i ordered her:

Scorpio I900 kit,
Remote Ign/Disable, (does work) I tried

Full GB Racing Crash Protection kit.

Then I whispered to her, Wait a week till your fully protected baby, ( Insurance, Alarm, GB Crash Protection Kit )

Thanks TJ @ Ridersdiscount for sorting us out.
