Rode it. 2nd ride of the year; chilly temps in the lower 40's this afternoon.

Hey! That looks like Ohio!

Shoot, lower 40's for the high today down here too!

Mounted a new Michelin PR 4 GT today. Tomorrow I will do some cleaning up and lube the splines then reassembly everything.

I cleaned and waxed the drive shaft housing as well as the swing arm. Wax might keep tar from sticking a bit. Cleaned the splines and re-greased. It all went well until I measure the tire's air pressure and found it dropped a bit overnight. I checked the valve stem for tightness and inflated it to 42 psi. Being optimistic I decided to reinstall the tire and check the tire pressure tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Somewhere on the forum I read putting a half inch piece of plywood beneath the center stand helps with tire removal. It worked great as it a bit more clearance pulling the tire out is helpful.

I clean and grease my shaft every time it in in my hands. JSNS.

I thought about using the phrase, "Wax my pumpkin." but the word wax was sufficient.

This morning I checked the tire pressure and it was down about one pound from yesterday. TirePressure.org has a calculator for pressure drop using temperature difference. The drops I was seeing was very close to what the calculator estimated.

I am optimistic this is a non problem. Maybe tomorrow I can get out for a ride. Maybe find a Starbucks, might be a short ride!

Tire pressure and tread depth are both highly overrated.

Present value = number of revolutions of rear tire??? WTF?? How about 1 psi change for each 10° F temp change +/-. Good rule of
Freakin engineers!

I got photo voltaics (solar panels) equal n times radians * Time. With n being the intensity.

In a weird way, this is actually in the ball park.

Madmudder taught me something. I have about a 1" high or so lip at the entrance to my garage. I put the FJR on the center stand on top of that lip and it lets the tire hang over an inch higher for easy tire changing. That Madmudder is OK no matter what his friends tell you.
