  Bike Maintenance
Haven't posted in a long time cause I was really busy with school at the end of the quarter. Then had a week of spring break, and now the new quarter has begun. I went to a bike maintenance day hosted by a friend last weekend. I managed to chain the engine oil and filter; glued the crack on the upper fairing from my crash 2 years ago; cleaned and lubed the chain; and adjusted the throttle free play.

With the new engine oil, shifting is a bit smoother again. Rough shifting or missing gears when shifting is one of the indicators that the oil could use a change (for those bikes with wet clutch, which is most of them). The much better throttle free play was also helpful. It's giving a better response, cause it had too much free play before.

And we even had a great BBQ for lunch. It was a nice day.
