    FedEx found us! Too late I realized Max BMW would have sent M&Ms.

      Keep your old wire clips. If you loose one you need to buy a new kit.

      Yep. I keep all kinds of stuff like that.

    Preparing for what I hope is a great season of riding.....
    The GSA is on the lift.
    1st thing was to remove the rear tire, drain the rear drive and lube
    the splines. I'd done this a couple of years ago and sealed the
    edges of the boot with the assembly lube. Everything looked good
    inside. Cleaned off the surfaces, lubed and was able to get the drive
    back in place in a minimal amount of cussing.
    Now need to order fluids, filter and brake pads. New tires going on
    today.

      I finished my winter maintenance today, EBC brake pads front & rear & a fluid flush with Liqui Moly Dot 5.1 fluid.
      1st time using my fancy one man brake bleeder, a piece of plastic tube that fits tight over the bleeder screw & a gatorade bottle...worked great.
      Just put the tube over the bleeder drill a hole in the top of the bottle add some old fluid to the bottle fresh fluid in the master open the bleeder& pump away.

        You forgot that a cardboard box is needed to put your Gatorade bottle on?

      Went back and decided to check and lube the tranny output end of the driveshaft.

      Replaced the Mitas with Dunlop Trailsmarts (I don't think the GSA was happy about
      having street tires).

      But I made points by replacing the stock exhaust with a used Akrapovic HP pipe.

          Pete, I like that scheme on RR's. The slightly different, but complimentary grays and blacks, keep from chopping up the lines as much as some of the other schemes.

          Bike is serviced and new Dunlop sneakers.
          Tomorrow I will start replacing the old INNOVV camera/DVR with a newer one.
          New SW Motech tank bag and map case.
          Might even wash it too !

            I hope I can remember how to put it back together.....

            What my brother told his wife when she was asking when he was going to finish a home project:
            "Honey, I'm a starter carpenter, not a finish carpenter."

              Got the INNOVV K2 all set up and working....
              Followed some guy's Youtube video of how to
              connect to phone and update firmware was a
              bit difficult because he was trying to do it live
              and uncut. I had to write it down and edit out
              the mistakes he kept making.

              Air filter came yesterday so I started putting
              it all back together. Thought about washing
              all the pieces, but then like Eric said, "It's a
              GS, it's just going to get dirty again" So I
              just took the air hose and blew the grit out of
              the under body places.
              Wonder how many screws I'll have left over
              when it's done....

                Bike is back together now. I wired for the new heated jacket liner.
                Tried to get the GS911 to reset the service interval but no luck. I
                can't figure it out. I can do everything else on my phone with it
                but that. That selection is gray, the other selections are black.

                  Three tries and I think I got them all in the right places.
                  Some have long shanks, some have short shanks and some have no shanks.
                  Next time I'll use the cardboard trick.

                  What are track day stickers, they cover up the scars?

                  Yes. I was thinking about changing tires, but got lazy and instead just farted around.

                  Mike, the track day stickers mark that a bike has been tech inspected, which group you are allowed to ride in, and what days. Some organizations have one main sticker to show that you have been inspected and the group you have paid to ride in and one sticker for each day that you have paid for. Some people go to the track and ride one day instead of riding the whole weekend. Or ride two days in a three-day event. It is their method of keeping track of who has paid and for what. I went to Palmer last year and had four stickers for that one event (one for tech and the group, and three for each day I paid to ride).

                  Mike you can check for codes with a phone but I think it has to be connected to a laptop to reset the service reminder.
                  Not 100% sure on that.
                  Edit:
                  Looks like you can do it with the phone if you connect to your home network.

                    I don't know how to connect my phone to two wifi networks at the same time.
                    I can't seem to find a download for the Mac laptop to bring that stuff up either.
                    I've been searching and don't see anything.
                    Thanks Lee

                    When I first bought mine I looked through the GS911 forum for information.
                    http://forum.hexcode.co.za/forum/index.php

                    Hex Code was also good about answering my questions when I emailed them.
                    They usually reply the next day. They're in South Africa.

                  Changed the stock 2.2 GL gas tank for a 3.5 GL IMS aftermarket tank. At high RPM's 2.2 does not get you down the road very far.

                    I was feeling the need for a small enduro bike.....
                    Then my tax guy emailed me the damages

                  #90

                  I made a shorty windshield for the GSA out of the windshield from my K13GT. I had to drill new mounting holes & cut it down, came out pretty good if I do say so myself
