What Have You Done To Your XR Today?

Working on my 17incher ......(!)...put the rotors on . next will be spacers..

10.8 kg Pirelli diablo rosso 120 70 17 with rotors and bearings

+ 0.40 kg adapters and 4 bolts

Added a little more Stompgrip tank protection I am seeing from my pants and jacket. It comes off without pulling off any paint.

Yes I have tank swelling, but don't we all?

Had a small coffeetrip today to Seljord
Not too cold .but still snow up in the mountains
a few twists and turns .trying to use more of the side of tire

It felt appropriate to take the bike to the local tractor museum today David Brown tractors were made just down the road from me and there was a 'bring anything interesting' car and bike meeting taking place. The XR was one of the newest vehicles there but it blended in nicely with everything else.

I took this pic on the way back of my 4 mile round trip!

My Asbos showed up today! Bolted them on after struggling a little with alignment. Rode them for about a half hour as delivered, then tack welded in the quiet baffles and rode it some more. I really like the sound, not too loud, and they look substantially better than the stock cans.

Of course, one step forward, one step back. On test ride number 2 my clutch started to slip at wot in 5th. It slipped on aggressive gear changes when I first bought it, it cleared up once after a fluid change, but apparently today was the day it decided to call it quits. There is plenty of freeplay so I think the frictions are trash.
