Just threw some parts at it. It was hot. I'm burned.

New brake pads front and rear.
I did the sanding block thing on rear drum and front disc to deglaze.
The front was binding real bad for about a mile and got hot.
After a couple more short bursts and hard front brakings it loosened up.
I did pull the master cylinder cover and let out the excess fluid and then some.
Bad front caliper?

Rear works very good now.

Thorough clean and degrease of the engine. Hopefully it can run a little cooler now.

Retest compression. First test a while back 100 psi, second test 2 or three weeks
ago 95 psi. Today's test came in at 97 psi.

Read spark plug. It was awesome tan color. Running mixture great.
Still having a recent problem with it being very hard to start.

Thorough clean, degrease and relubrication of the chain.
Man! It's hard to get that master link back on an o-ring chain :(

Took off 15 tooth sprocket and installed 16 tooth one.
I REALLY REALLY like the 16 tooth sprocket!@! :tup:

Installed my foam grips. That's always been a personal preference...

Did some other small things but I can't remember cuz my brain is baked.

Tomorrow I do the oil change cuz my baked brain was starting to see Stargate
jaffa line dancing across the street.

That was weird.

I pulled the drain plug and the oil came out.... I turned to get a big swig of my beer and then
turned back.
I have a pan of oil with brown in the middle and black along the outside like some sort of
demented oil doughnut. Well defined border between the two colors.
I have never seen this before....
Did this oil separate?

In with new filter and new oil.

Nope.....Quite normal. ;) :)

So what oil did you finally settle on?

I threw the same stuff at it again for now. I've got other fish to fry. Next oil change will likely be something Suzuki says is awesomesauce. Till then....
