wow that looks spanking mate, iy have always been a autogylm man but after seeing your results there might give megs ago.
I'll need to check that out then. It's time to try and work out what colour the car was before the winter.
Fantastic results Si, the Blade looks as always amazing. I must add though, I have read through your post, and not a mention of raising the front tyre pressure from 19psi to something more appropriate
Tip for you. Just use WD40 on the aluminium parts, underneath the chain guard, underneath the front and rear huggers, in front of back wheel etc…. it's a de-greaser as well as cleaner and lubricant.. spray it on and leave for 5 mins, then use an old paintbrush to get the grime off….comes out like new...work it in then rinse it off, then clean the bike as normal.
Ahh, I'm using the ultimate shampoo at the moment. That's pretty lush. It actually feels like there's lube between the wash mitt and the panel. It's quite impressive.
But you have not told the rest of your friends on here how I have advised you all afternoon .How do I clean this Mike and I have bought this shiny tin but I don't know what's in it Mike .You have received ample credits tonight but you know your a fraud and that I am the rightful owner of them credits and come to think of it YOU ARE OWNED.
Firstly Si, that is a wicked job on the bike. I dare you to take it out and spoil it, lol as for the abs bleeding mate, I understand that it is nigh on impossible for a human to do it and Honda allow there technicians 4 hours to do it!! I know this because Ive had it done recently. Do let me know if im badly wrong though..Id love to be!
Si is on the Black blade and these don't come with ABS and of course being imports they are of lower power so he is the wrong man to ask .
Bloody Hell is that shiny mine wasn't like that when new, i will have to get some of that polish, and love that reg plate !
Thanks Colin but have you yourself ever done one (with respect of course) and the reason I ask is if its just a normal job were do all these rumours about half a day in a Honda Garage come from? One of the boys on tonight said he has his done this week ! Has he been ripped .We need to get to the bottom of this ,Ta!
I did mine last year when fitting new Rizoma reservoirs. Honestly it was just like bleeding any other bike. Can't comment on what other people's problems are, but it was easy. Just remember and use the bleed nipple at the master cylinder
Stunning job... thankfully my Blades white! Going back to the R77, have you ran it with the baffle? If so does it fix in with a grub screw from inside the can or a bolt from outside under the rubber bung on the back of the can? I ask because there's no hole in the inner skin of the can under the rubber bung?(unlike the Akra on my 2007 blade) so a grub screw seems the obvious choice...
