Uhh, I might be swappin cans.

There's lots I like on this machine.  The exhaust ain't one of them.

Did I mention the HEATED GRIPS.  My hands were toasty warm yesterday without heated gloves. 

My hands would never stay completely warm on my Wee, even with heated gloves.

Frankly!  Congrats bro!

Cans?  Wait another Kawasaki Prius?

lol... I remember those days... Repetitive trips to the garage just to gawk...

OK what's a PVC?


LOL.  Wife keeps asking if it's still there everytime I go out to look. 

I'm going out now to check on it, just to be sure.   :inlove:

It's a glass mat, not a dry charge.  They told me it was a new battery and on a charger all night before I picked it up.  Read 14.4 when I pulled in the garage.  Week later it's 12.7. Still normal, but Kawi book says it needs to be plugged in if its not run for a few weeks, ESP in this cold.

Yeah. The manual also said I should have checked my valves at 15,000 miles. But only if I live in the USA.

A PCV is a Power Commander 5 that you can install to remap your fuel/air ratio. Good idea to have if you remove the flies and add an exhaust. You can join Jeets in the Kawasaki Prius club, but this route is not recommended and may result in revocation of your man card if any other man infractions are observed.

That's about right. Get a trickle charger and you'll be fine.

Wouldn't exactly call this a ride.  Took the Connie out today.  Now have a grand total of 85 miles on her.  Heard a strange noise in the front end -  heard a click when I turned the bars - decided to have the dealer check it out.  Was worried the triple clamp wasn't torqued down right.  Had all the guys in the shop laughing - me too - with them.  Turns out it is the sound of plastic cable flexing against the triple clamp.  Man do I feel like the FOOL.  Took the long way home.  Was hoping to spot a green Street Triple parked at a horse farm - ranch - whatever.  First batch of parts arrived.  So I decided to start farkling.

New rack

This is why I decided to pursue a technical degree instead of shop mechanics.   The mounting pins were a little tight.  I didn't want to scratch my new rack.  So I slid my finger between the Givi case and the rack to prevent it from getting scratched.  Worked out pretty well, in one sense.   
OK, it was a total failure! :withstupid:

You know your in love when your digits come second.  :razz:

As far as new bike bugs, I had to tighten my header bolts, that's it.

Skee, thanks for sharing, and no I didn't get out even though it hit 50*...   (work >:()

Where's my glass Frank?  Drinking alone with a friend within 5 or so miles is a violation!

She looks good!  My baby got new shoes, sensors, rear break pads, and a sticker!  She's ready for the spring.

Speaking of which I'm riding down Fri for the spring meet.  I don't know what your plans are but keep me posted.
