Well the riding season will be done soon. First layer of salt on the road and im done. Bike will go on the lift to remove the inner primary for bearing replacements. Anyone else have repairs or upgrades planned ?

I am far enough south that a day to ride can happen at any time for much of the winter. My bike sets in the garage the same spot during the winter as it does in the summer. No plans for any repairs or additions but it sure could use a good cleaning and detail !!
Just regular maintenance here.
I bought my first road bike in years back in August. Immediately after that my wife fractured her kneecap and I haven’t even had a chance To get a tag. Driving me nuts. Can’t wait to get back to riding again.
GETFISHED !!!
Washed it but still riding till they spray the roads. Have all winter to wax it before spring.
FJR1300 is getting valve adjustment , timing chain tensioner , injectors tested and cleaned , throttle bodies cleaned then a sinc and link. Fork oil change and maybe change out the valving. RZ350 will be getting a pair of new carbs from Ed Toomey. 86 Fazer 700 doesn’t need anything so good there.

Ride all year down here. I much rather ride in the winter, than the summer down here.
Debating on putting a stage 3 kit on my Dyna Street Bob with the 103 6-speed.
Beautiful December ride today. Summer was rough though.Originally Posted by Bdog
It's a bit nipply here today but I'm gonna ride some today.
GETFISHED !!!
I got to ride dec 14 in North Dakota, I had a coworker in FL the same day and he was only 5* warmer than here. I'll probably just wash and wax the MT10. It's on a stand and under a cover now. Just like the boat. But that can change any random day easy enough

You have an RZ 350 !?!?! Lucky bastard !! I remember when they first came out. Local Yamaha shop showed me the brochure on it and I said " order me one" Kept going back and they kept saying they were coming in soon. Gave up waiting and bought a GPZ 550 instead. Post up some pics !!
Yes I do and it’s my favorite. Built it from the ground up. Race Tech front end , YSS rear. Blue dot 4 pistons front calipers with Wicked adaptors , Wicked clutch , upgrade all internal shifting linkage. Toomey expansion chambers. Continental radials. Ed Toomey did my cylinders , power valves and head. He is the man. I also put a new welded crankshaft in it. He was the factory Yamaha RZ racing guru back in the day. I built the carbs also. To say for a little 350 that it rips is an understatement. ,I’ll post some pics.

Okay , photos are on my phone and when I try to load them it says images are too large and I have to manually resize them. This is beyond me. I used the be able to post from my phone but now it doesn’t work seems odd. I even read the posting pics section in the large but no go. Anyone have an easy solution ?
Got it figured out.
