bigd Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Just curious who's planning what during the layup period this year (for all of us who are warm blooded creatures)?Maintenance, upgrades or otherwise. I'm planning on doing a PCIII and some routine maintenance that I never get time to during the riding months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetty Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Replacing all the fairings on the ride side of the Honda after a year of lurking ebay to get good deals on them. Awesome.....now all I need is a right mirror and a tiny cowl beside the headlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Not sure yet. I would like to accomplish getting the paint done on both bikes, a bunch of small stuff on the Hon-duh, fixing some coolant leaks, and a small exhaust leak, normal maintenance, chain cleaning, and lube, oil changes, etc... I would also like to get some new rotors (and brake pads) for the Hon-duh. On the too-fiddy, I might go ahead and replace the cam chain tensioner before it fails, otherwise It's good to go, other than maybe some fluid changes.

Beegreenstrings Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 The XR is going to get the smog eliminator kit, a new slip on pipe and possible some jetting work. New Brake pads front and back and maybe a new set of rubber...The Kat is done. But I dont think it is going to sell until spring... Maybe if I get lucky.If the neibor feels gitty, I might go ahead and try and figure the paint out... The VTX, New set of pipes (possibly), Carbs getting cleaned up and having the jetting checked on them.The biggie. If the Kat goes down the road. I plan on getting the RC51 I want immediately after and doing whatever work it needs instantly... That would definately be the primary bike for next year!

NinjaNick Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Nothing this winter. I have everything on my bike that is the norm for upgrades. I wish I had the money to build my motor up or slap a turbo though. Just a new set of tires come spring. I already miss the rush of accelerating and hitting a good corner as well. 3.5 more months till next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 i plan to ride all winter, but i need to change the chain and sprockets in the near future. Other than that its good to go until i possibly sell it in the spring depending on money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Strip it all down. Get the frame and swingarm powdercoated black. Send the forks off to have them reworked. Replace the rear shock. Get all the bodywork (incl tank) painted as blinding of a white as I can, and have the wheels powdercoated to an equally blinding orange (saw pics of a newer GSXR here on the site like this, and loved the simplicity of it). New top ends on both cylinders. On the other hand, I planned on doing all of this last winter, as well. And the winter before. Truth is, I was too lazy to take the battery out and put it on the charger. But this winter will be different. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 GPR stabilizer, swingarm extensions, new chain and sprockets, braided brake and clutch lines, repack my 2bros pipes, replace rear spring with busa spring, smoked turn signals and tail light, put smoke windscreen back on, new brake pads, check valve clearance, send stock seat out to http://greatdaytoride.com/Home_Page.php I think that's about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
