    Re: what have you done to your bike this winter?

    So this and that, life throwing obstacles in the way, blah, blah. I FINALLY GOT THE BIKE....

    - Paint levers, clip-ons and brake calipers to remove shiny.
    - Swap over new head with solid threads (I stripped the old ones)
    - Re-install stock airbox and rejet carb to factory settings.
    - Fabricate turn signals.
    - Rebuild factory cam-chain tenioner
    - Prep for future mods

    Spooph, nice ninja! I've been wanting to pick up a 250 myself for daily duty, and those newer body style ones look great.

    Explain to me what you're doing with those knobby tires. Offroad? or for winter riding?

    Re: what have you done to your bike this winter?

    Puckstr, that looks sick! Job well done sir!

    Hibs, yes, the knobbies were for riding in the snow. Yes, they worked great - much better than any typically smooth street tire. They are IRC GP-1's if you were interested. They don't handle bad on the roads either, especially when riding with sand in every corner... However, this is the last year of me riding year-round (probably), so they're going up for sale soon, and the extra set of wheels will go towards track-use....

    Very nice! Gives me good inspiration. I am going to try and pick up a 250 this summer once I get to CO, want one for my daily commute and also as a starter bike for my wife. I wasn't sure how much I would be able to ride it during the year though, but knowing that some knobby tires would still get me around gives me good hope! I would say I would be interested in the tires, but I need to find myself a bike first and foremost.

    Now the dent in the muffler is very noticeable..... That's a sweet looking bike. It's going to be so confusing to see it on the street...

    Re: what have you done to your bike this winter?

    erm, I have no idea, being that I haven't ridden the bike yet.... If you prep the surface well though, and then maybe dip them in an epoxy, it might last a long time....

    Re: what have you done to your bike this winter?

    So nobbies actually work for winter riding, eh? Looks like next year's investment.

    This winter, I had the carbs cleaned and rejetted for altitude...and then RODE. =)
