Now to clean up around the throttle bodies and spray some silicone lubricant on the linkage to make it feel like new. The throttle definitely feels better now. You can't have a 20K mile bike and not do this stuff.



I also plugged off the last of the nipples that fed air into the charcoal canister emissions circuit. Safety wire will do a great job in this case.



While I had the airbox off I went ahead and cleaned things up around the engine. Then I took the sparkplugs out just to make sure they were in top condition. Things look good so back together everything went. NOTICE THE TAPE OVER THE THROTTLE BODIES - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU PUT TAKE ON THEM WHILE YOU WORK.





Time to button things up now. Velocity stacks looking good too. Like my modified oil catcher? It should hold 3x the oil overflow as the stock. Plus it's a lot easier to see now. :lol:
