What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

It's always guys who have never had the features that are now so common who don't know how they rode without them before. Most new features make the ride better.Rode it. Used the cruise control for the first time. OMG, that is an awesome feature! Why didn't you all tell me about it before?
I've had cruise control alternatives on other bikes (Throttlemeister bar ends, cramp busters, etc.) and followed those wiring up their Busas with aftermarket cruise control kits (Rostra and others), but this was just cool to set and forget.
I wouldn't buy a bike without cruise control, it's especially convenient when you're forced to ride on the highway to get to nice roads or if you're commuting or just to relax your throttle hand.Rode it. Used the cruise control for the first time. OMG, that is an awesome feature! Why didn't you all tell me about it before?
Perhaps if it were my primary mode of transportation I would agree, but it isn't. It was my first ride with cruise control after 30 years of riding, so I did enjoy it. I would ride the bike without it though.
Heated grips are also a great accessory, makes a big difference on chilly spring and fall rides but once you get into the low 40's or colder they don't do much good.
To be honest where I know police is watching to fill their piggy bank I am using speed limiter as well. I drop the speed, eventually drop a gear and start accelerating until I hit the preset speed limit, then I repeat it until I leave the long speed limit zones. I use it to kill boredom and for the safety of my wallet.Rode it. Used the cruise control for the first time. OMG, that is an awesome feature! Why didn't you all tell me about it before?

Bolted on the RNG stator cover for the Gen 2, happy to find it works fine with the Gen 3 fairing. Too bad they don't make a clutch cover equivalent.
need to clean up the actual scratches though. Ended up dropping it twice through stupidity but it wasn't moving either time.
* one of those weird times where the camera picks up way more scratches than the eye does. In the flesh the R&G part is shiny and new and without blemish. Photos make it look like a used part. Not sure why that happens.

That’s mighty clean. What products do you use for all of that?
Details were recently posted in thread 'What do you guys use to clean your chains?' What do you guys use to clean your chains? | General Bike Related Topics
I have used Motul C1, Motul C4, nylon brush, microfiber cloths (two - one for cleaning with C1 and one for removing the surplus C4), collapsible wash bowl, plastic board.
I rode 155 miles to a random city to have an other Coffee and Tea - a meanwhile watch the bike - time. During the trip I have reached the first 600 miles mark so second part (over 5500, but below 8000 rpm) of the rpm range has been unlocked. 
Couple of takeways:
These OEM made in japan S22s are nicely delivering in 59 °F.
My new lid has been thoroughly tested is good enough until 100 mph, above it is better to hug the bike a bit closer.

I've been looking at buying one for mine.
Today the very first service was done by the Suzuki dealer. This is an other one, they are very rider centric. (Again the same old: capital city with lots of customers vs. countryside with significantly less.) They were checked the brake line recall as well, how - if - it was done by the other dealer, fortunately yes, they changed the whole brake line from ABS brick.
Then suddenly somehow the sun came out - after the very cloudy and almost rainy morning - so I took a detour on the way home, I thought it won't hurt, I guess it was a safety run to be sure everything is fine after the service.
