What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[GAmedic]

It's good to see someone so proud of their bike...looks great (as usual).

Thanks man. The back wheel is still dirty as hell because of the chain lube.

I know that you know it’s best to lube a warm chain vs a cold one but have you tried a chain wax? I’ve used Maxima chain wax for years and it seems the best lube to stay on the chain and not the wheel.

I'll try it next time. Gotta do an oil change this weekend sometime and will do it then. I'm getting ready to do a new chain and sprocket setup soon.

That's what I use and have for years.

I'm at around 900 miles on my k18, I guess I should start lubing it every 200 miles or so after my initial cleaning right?

I lube mine every 500 miles or so, more often if ridden in dusty or wet conditions. On tour, at the motel at day’s end. Then it’s ready for travel the next morning. The lube keeps the O rings pliable and the rollers flexible.

I can hear and feel when it is time to do mine.

I'm right about once a week or so. I do a deep clean on it once a month. In between deep cleans, I just spray a little on the chain when I start to hear it.

I thought about that same fender eliminator kit but I'm really liking my bike being completely factory body wise.

Saw a break in the weather and some sun so I took the bike to top up the tank in case I have to store it for the winter and to run some Stabilizer through it. The gas station is about 2 miles away and I rode home in wet snow....

Looking out the window right now, I see a mixture of sun and wet snow....

We normally don't get snow around here until Nov and sometimes not until Dec...this better had not be the sign of things to come....

I bought a red seat cowl in perfect condition from ebay. It matches the red in my bike. I like the factory white one with the red strip better though. I also took a brisk 30 mile ride this morning.
