Changed my oil last night, made a stupid mess. I didn't realize how much would drain into the guard, and especially the fact that it would be launched off the left side right past my drain pan. Sigh. The oil seemed well due, the screens were perfectly clean though, and the filter seemed clean. I took a sample to go to Blackstone Labs for an analysis--just curious. I went with Rotella T6.
Tried to change the headlight to LED, but the one I got is garbage. It looked just like one that was highly recommended, but clearly not. Huge pain to put together, and then it was basically just a blob of light. The "high" beam made it brighter downward, not up. I'll go out today and see if I can find the Pathfinder H4NF that CSC sells.
The clutch mod from Tako does work, is an improvement. Not just in softness, but the expanded engagement zone. Dude was right, it's a better ride. I recommend it.
Swapped in a Bike Master XR650 shift lever with folding tip, $26.
Lubed the bag hinges and locks, seemingly for the first time.
