Had to stick with the best color Mike, since it looks like the 06...and we have to keep riding together. It's just not the same getting lost by myself.

Set the box with the new Chinese levers on the seat along with the grip thingies, the Chinese hand guards and the Don Stanley Memorial sticker. Need to get out in the garage and get to farkling before the VStrom gets here.

Started prepping her for the RTE. Started her up and ran the grip heaters and the heated gear while turning all the lights on. Just looking for anything odd about running the heated gear. Wouldn't want a fuse or something else breaking in the road. While running the engin in the driveway, I noticed I have a little oil leak around the filter.

Should I just spin a new filter and fill the oil level back up or do a full oil change. I am not due for an oil change. I did it right before winter set in.

Got all my gear organized also. Different layers and options for the 65 degree weather in Alabama.

Not looking forward to the wind they are predicting though.

Did you try to tighten the filter a little? If so, you can put the bike on the center stand and remove the filter with a pan underneath it. Very little oil will be lost. Just top off and go.

Did you get one of the Bosch filters with the wrong bevel?

 

[Cav47]

Not sure which bevel I threw on there, but that likely is the case. I am gonna try and re-tighten it today after work. If nothing spins on tighter, I will just swap it out with a correct one and top off as you said. The leak is not big, but I hate any oil on the bike and back tire. Could make for a really bad event in a corner.

Went to two Radio Shacks looking for connectors and wire harnesses only to find they have been picket over pretty hard. "Restock on Thursday" was there reason I got at both... Yeah probably not going to make that 30 mile round trip with my two year old during his witching hours. Missing the bed time window sucks. So I'll make do with connectors from Menards.

With 50°F Weather coming this weekend here in MN I need to do the following to get her on the road.

Finished disassembling the front fairing to lube the wind screen tracks

Finish the heated grip install

Finish the Zumo 665 install

Install the auto windscreen override switch

Get it back together

Convince my wife to give me a few hours this Saturday away from our toddler and infant twins.

Rode it to work and back. 50's and fog there, and 70's and setting sun back. A bad day to be at work with today's beautiful weather.

 

[Uncle Hud]

OMG!!! Brushed frost off the seat and the mirrors!! No photos, because I was afraid to expose my bare fingers!

Then rode her to work. Thank you, Momma Yama, for the grip heaters.

Michael Jackson was on the right track when he asked for propofol, but the wrong guy was giving it to him...I slept well for an hour.

FWIW, at least for a while, I was NOT full of shit.

Well at least no one there could tell unless you talked in your sleep.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they could tell. I hear there was light where it does not normally shine.

Make up for it and go ride some twisties tomorrow. Bet you can slide around the seat something fierce.
