I also went out for a blast today, done about 70 miles round the local twisties, loved every minute of it!
Right... Ive put my suspension back to stock and wound the rear preload up 3 turns and front up 1. Not gonna measure anything just gonna go out and rip it and see how it feels ! Spoken with Steve Jordan motorcycles about a ride in set up and they can fit me in towards the end of the week so as long as its not totally pissing down, that the plan ! I'll let you know the results !!
Fitted Optimate cable and hooked up the Blade. All fully charged. Next up. garage work bench re-fit! I really need to get out soon before I crack up!
Today my new Dunlop Sportsmart arrived ! Next step its to practice my rolling burn outs before i get it stuck on
The sun was beginning to shine today and it was dry and fairly warm, so I donned my biking gear and dusted off the bike for the first time this year, only to find that my battery was flat and wouldn’t start arrrgh. I know school boy error, it'll not happen again. Got the charger out and had a brew, on my return to the garage the charger was showing fully charged. Back into the leathers again and the bike jumped into life as I took her for a blast to charge her up and blow the cobwebs away. A very satisfying run not cold at all, roll on the summer.
The melted belly pan from the headers after the first trial fit ! But don't tell anyone will you ! It's such a mess in there at the moment I really must sort it out ! Sorry
In two minds at the moment Rob, think they will be harder to replace if I do decide to sell and go for 850 - 900 from what I have seen so wouldn't want to have to buy them again ... But would help put money back in the coffers ? Will let you have first refusal if you like once I've made my mind up
Rear shock has gone along with M4 callipers but that's easier and cheAper to replace in the future I think Pita with callipers as I really like the M4 and now have to pay more to get ones that fit fgrt forks
