    On the winter list:

    Paint radiator covers
    Paint the "Eyelids"
    finally remove the warning stickers
    shorty levers
    Projector HID's
    new clutch cable
    Oil change
    Alarm and possible remote starter
    new heated grips
    Possibly SS brake lines (front)



    Not sure if i will get to it all, but this would all be nice to accomplish in the next month and a half!

    sea foam would probably clean those valves off, just make sure to start it well away from the house, smokes pretty good lol

    how would you do that? just add it to the gas like it recommends on the can or is there a way to pour some down the throttle bodies and then let it soak in for a bit. I have a can of it in my basement, so i am open to that route.

    Techron cleans the valves too, no smoking or anything, just mix the recommended amount with a couple of tanks of gas.

    I'm curious, what does the bike require for octane (per the owner's manual) and what do you use?
