2018-12-10 KrZy8 1st ride post heavy maintenance

Today's ride was epic. First test ride after heavy maintenance. Decided to stay local just in case issue reared their ugly head. Creston to Morro Bay to Cambria to Paso Robles then back to Creston. Almost all back road riding.

KrZy8 ran G R E A T ! Smooth on pickup off idle, more snap than I can recall

. Helping of course is fresh suspension, new brakes, plugs, air filter, yada yada yada. Even all the electrics worked after cleaning and lubing every connector.

Handling seemed a bit weird after all the hours riding Wabs, a DL650 with knobbie tires but soon I was back in a familar zone and loving it!

Here's the ride report..

Nice ride report and pics! No snow is wonderful to see this time of year. Can you inform some of the newer members (like me) of KrZy8’s history? I searched for that name and the results stopped at 11/28/2014 Black Friday Ride posting. TIA

Hard wok has it's rewards. Passing zones much shorter on an FJR .

Still enjoy that front wheel dancing in second without trying.
