I rode it to Walmart to get some items, then went to a Chevron gas station and proceeded to top off the fuel tank with Sta-Bil for winter storage.
Gonna be a long winter, but can't wait for skiing and snowboarding season to begin ....

I went into her room, ripped off her cover, straddled her, and commenced to fire her up. She was willing to go! After a couple hour we slowed too a mutual pace, it was like old times. She was purring like a kitten, I know she was willing for more, but I promised the wife I'd be back before lunch! Damn that was good, I'm 70+ and still got it!........Bill

Nothing today...I put em both to bed last week after the fall storage ritual I do. 50's today, 30's for the forseeable future. Time to think snow and trail grooming instead.
Not actually today but did finish repairing the parking brake mechanism on Saturday after I botched the job of putting things back together properly on the last tire change a few weeks ago. I had failed to get the base plate of the brake caliper properly seated over the pin in the frame and the first time I hit the brakes, it flipped around and destroyed the cable and pulley as well knackered up the micro switch. I managed to unfold the little metal arm on the switch without breaking it but had to purchase new cable and pulley. The process required removal of most of the right-side body panels and some very tight working conditions to reach everything. Took a few hours, but I gotterdone! Also installed new rear brake pads while I had it all apart again.
My winter project. Bike is all taken apart. I adjusted the front shocks to help with cornering.
I installed new tires. Vredesteis Quadtrac 175/55 R15 for the front and General Altimax RT43
225/60 R15 for the front. Installing wiring for a future trailer and brake light flasher, for safety.
I had already installed a belt tensioner from Lamont and a sway bar from BajaRon. I had also
installed the handlebar extension along with the new GPS XT. Lamonster Mount 2.0
with GPS Swivel and Dual Power Plates. I should be ready for spring time riding.
Sorry, Can't get the pics right side up

Reason: deleting
I flashed my ECU to stage 1 for testing will be going to stage 2 in a week or so..
Pretty big difference I did lose some bottom end but Im running CAT Delete with Two Brother pipe.
Stage 1 is good for stock, or with cat delete and stock pipe or free flowing pipe with Cat.

Not today - but this past weekend I installed a set of Tricled Afterburnerz taillights from SlingMods and replaced the BRP medallion on the frunk with a custom design I bought from a guy in Canada. IMG_1704.jpg
Left side stock/right side with Afterburnerz
Afterburnerz also have sequential turn signal LEDs, which is really nice.
Yesterday I replaced my battery minder cable with a longer, beefier one, then added a 12v and dual USB power unit to the handlebars. I used an SAE type plug that I can plug into the battery minder cord when underway.
Finished install of Kumho rear tire. 8019 miles on stock Kenda and the center was bald. Adjusted e-brake. Change oil and filter, new o-rings this time around as well. 3.25 quarts of 10w40, 2 quarts of 20w50. Change air filter with factory Can Am. Took it for a spin.
If one picture is worth . . . . then what are eight worth?
I'll just let the pictures tell the story. If they don't appear in order or disoriented, well can't change the site's idiosyncrasies.
I'm posting this in hopes it will help others as the one video I could find had some spots that were so dark you could not tell what was happening and some of the dialog was incomplete.
I towed My 2020 F3S spyder today.... Check Key came out again... Another $275....
