What did you do to your bike today?

OMG! is that the OEM sprocket from a 81 Maico490? that thing was hammered 2 seasons ago!
I wish I'd used it for two seasons, save some money that way. 
Must be thanks to all that Kawi power. 
I wait until they look like Granny's fingers, then I change them out.
On a more serious note, I put a Moose back sprocket on Monkey-Boy's bike and it lasted exactly 1, that's right, 1 race
I decided to start ripping off the old seat covers so I could start installing the new ones... I also ordered a C note in parts
I think I'll leave the oem cover on the TTR and just put the new seat cover over it... Why not?
I'm surprised you didn't do this on the rm, after all you are adding another layer to protect the seat foam
Seat covers are on....
seat foam was shot.

Now that would be interesting.
I think perhaps some maintenance was needed a while ago for this situation. 
Well not today but Sunday. I broke one of my seat brackets on my last ride, so instead of buying a new seat, I took the Idea off the KTM65sx my son used to have and installed/made a seat pin for quick removal. I got a 5/16 clevis pin, a D-ring, two 5/16 washers, barrel pin, 5/16 flat fender washer and cotter pin. I drilled a 5/16 hole through my seat and fender. Then installed the D-ring onto the clevis, then washer and pushed it through the seat, put barrel pin on the bottom to hold on the seat. I cut off the excess clevis pushed through the fender and installed the fender washer and cotter key. Bamm,,, I can pull out the cotter key and have my seat off in 10 seconds or less with no tools. I am really digging this, no more looking for that damn allen wrench. I am going to do this on Clay's YZ85 too. I will do a more detailed "How To" when I do the YZ in case anyone else might be interested.
I also decided to sell my wifes YZ85 and get her something a little more trail friendly. I am going to get her a KLX140L. So me and shortshift did a motor swap and tires and rims swap to his YZ85 since her bike has brand new tires and his had a 80cc cylinder on it. So now his bike is an 85cc instead of and 80cc. The buyer will at least get a motor with a new top end on it since we just got his bike together with only 3 rides on it.
