Have done nothing. Not even looked at my bike for 3-4 weeks. Edited to add: At least I know it starts, as the wife has just been out on it. Now has enough miles for it's first service.
After yesterday's marathon exhaust and tail tidy fitting session, today I went to the alpha suspension clinic at bikegear in Morley. John went to work on her for about 15 mins and she's like a different bike, it's black magic I reckon. £30 well spent, no more arse in the air over the bumps
Speaking of marathons, I did a 3 hundred mile round trip yesterday, firstly to get new rubber fitted, 2nd to get my fix on the bike. I had my tyres fitted at Demon Tweeks a set of Michelin pilot power 3 & some premier service to boot, also got an optimate4, thanks to sinewave for the info, & the rest of the forum for the tyre reviews, but boy am I aching in the places the other beers didn't know about reaching
Fitted my Yoshi R77 and the Puig screen that I picked up while in the US for £45. Just need my 12/13 Heat shield to arrive now, the earlier model definitely doesn't fit !
Last night I finished fitting the HEL lines that I bought off Bike Bits NI, after replacing the piston seals on the front calipers. Felt immensely frustrated when trying to bleed the brakes, until I realised that I had only finger tightened the master cylinder banjo up. Doh!
Did a Track Day training day with British SuperBike School at Blyton. Had a blast of a time and now ache like an achy thing on achy day in achyville. Also managed to loose a mirror bolt so had to abandon the last session or risk losing the mirror or damaging the cowl.
Took my last ride round the TT coarse then packed my gear jumped on the ferry and rode 300 miles home
Today I replaced my nearside rear indicator. Original was scuffed I have now noticed that the thread was covered in a shrink wrap rubber ! Any ideas where I can get some of this?
Gave mine a bit of a hard time, got Dave back in the grove from holiday (he surprised me today) and got chased all over Kent by a very quick chris on his rsv.... Must admit, like riding with that dude.... he's old skool fast!
Picked up my bike from our very own Arthurbikemad after a full service and valve clearance check... Now it even smells clean!!! And boy is it running nice!!!
What mileage has your bike done ? and did you need any new shims ? My bike has done 13k so will need the clearances checking soon.
