    Ok, where do I start...
    1. Replaced the stator (Honda).
    2. Replaced the R/R with the Roadster kit.
    3. Installed new battery.
    4. Cleaned, adjusted and lubed the chain.
    5. Installed new clutch plates and stuff.
    6. Antifreeze flush.

    Finishing the brake bleed then that’s enough for this weekend!

    If I may ask, did you use specific (hand-)pumps or did you just pump the fluid out manually by opening/closing the nipple while puring in new liquid?

    Or buy speed bleeders or a speed bleeder "attachment" tool. I have the vacuum type (Mity-vac) and speed bleeders now. I use the vacuum tool for bikes I assist with that don't have speed bleeders. The attachment tool is cool, as you don't need to buy a bleeder for each bleed point, just attach it to the send of the OEM nipple and crack it open.

    I used a mityvac BUT it's really not needed. Just connect a one way valve in a tube to the slave, crack the bleeder, & keep pumping whilst making sure you refill the reservoir. The line goes north from the bleeder to the lever. It's the easiest line I've ever bled.

    Scubalong and I did a little bartering, I turned his son onto Universal tickets and Long installed HID yellow in my high beams.
    Leaving the OC at 6:30 for an hr of splitting lanes, it was like parting the red sea.
    Always try to thank people when the move over, my arm was getting tired.
    So thanks to my buddy
    Long ding ding dong and the IPA

    I changed the oil in my '99 VFR800...

    But when does an oil change ever end up being just an oil change?

    So I ended up washing and waxing the bike, replacing a couple of missing fasteners, and doing a few other odds and ends. And of course, Pictures!

    I prefer hanging the bike in a movable frame.

    Depending on which area of the bike you're working on you can move the supports around on the frame. When I was working on the steering bearings I added a support just above the mid-point of the engine and removed the support at the front end.

    Yeah, I did my maintenance in two phases. Saturday, did the oil and filter change, then when I got back from breakfast on Sunday, did the coolant flush/fill and changed the spark plugs. One of the rear COP bolts hex head stripped on me and I had to break out the hammer and chisel to extract it! Replaced it with a bolt similar to the ones that secure the front COPs. Before next weekend I’ll be putting on the Pirellis so I can use the 6 Gen while I’m corner working the track. Runs great and I’m getting closer to the 80k miles mark, 76,755 at the moment.
