Put some WD40 in the tank lock after having a bit of a moment at the petrol station. Working fine now Did the steering and tail locks whilst I had the can out at it + lubed the chain with some Wurth as it was overdue and beginning to bind a wee bit
Booked it in next Tuesday for a pc5 and K+n air filter then a dyno run with custom map then doing a track day on the Wednesday at Oulton park .See if I notice any difference .
Cleaned my garage out so I've got more room And fitted my ASV levers thanks to ColinBR So had a good day
Tried to fit stomp grip and royally fooked it up. I prepped the surface, had the hair dryer at hand then got to work. One side stretched too far on one side, the other side miss aligned. Problem is with stomp grip you have to get it right first time or that's it. Tried taking it off and starting again but it looked wank so had to take the lot off and in the bin it went. £40 down the pan. Gutted
Well nothing but just had my K&N filter delivered So now waiting for a chance to pop out in between Decorating so thinking of a good excuse to go out there Without my Wife knowing !!!!!!
tip of the day DO NOT SPEND BEST PART OF 2 HOURS TAKING YOUR FAIRINGS OFF to fit none cut fairin crash bobbins when there is NO fecken need too. got them of ebay no instructions
From what I've been told (Dealer did mine) you don't need to remove the fairings to fit the drilled R&G ones either. Just loosen enough fixings so that the fairing can be 'pricked' on the inside to enable a mark to be left to enable drilling. Top Tip is use a Cone Cutter and not a Hole Saw for a neater finish!
I used a hole saw as you wont see the hole anyway. I loosened mine but the ram air popped out so was a royal pain getting it put back in.
Fitted a zero gravity seat. Looked at it and the went back into the house. Be at least Monday till I can get on it as away for the weekend.
Changed the oil in my 08 blade and felt so guilty after reading about rusty chains and cleaning them that I set to on my own
