    Finally accumulated enough miles on my 2018 for its first service.

    Now gathering one of my cleaning kits to de-gunk the rear wheel. To be fair, they didn't overdo it, but it appears they used wax which actually seems stickier than Josh Brookes' moustache wax!

    Huh? That must be a 'Northern' joke. I'm way lost on that one:(.

    Aha, no I'm not; just Googled it. Fancy asking that of an ageing pensioner who has to crush Viagra into his morning cup of tea just to maintain his pulse - never mind getting onto the cocktail part!! :cool:.

    Apparently the nurses in a hospital up here were putting viagra in old blokes evening cuppa. Aparently it stopped them rolling out of bed ;)

    Have you tried having iron tablets with your Viagra, apparently it makes a useful compass ;)

    Carried out the ECU reset - took it for a little ride around the way, seemed better but that could just be my imagination o_O

    Cleaned the chain and lubed with Silkolene Non-fling lube - will have to do until I get new chain and sprox

    Also pulled a fekkin great nail out of the tyre :mad:

    That's one hellova nail, Hitch. You look fortunate in that it didn't penetrate the tyre, but just skimmed beneath the surface?

    Today I ordered touch-up paint (http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-gb/colours.php?setlocale=true) for white fairings. My 2011 had copped a few stone chips from the previous owner, and the VF has a blemish on the lower fairing where the area around a fitting point is crazed. Sod's law that the two whites are different:rolleyes:, therefore requiring double expense and a basecoat for one. Will obviously take advantage of the warmer weather to ensure the paint 'glosses up'.

    Tomorrow morning I take the RR4 to Coventry for ECU reflash. Stay tuned;).

    Yeah, I performed the obligatory 'gob' test to check for bubbles/air leaks after initially yanking it about; then I just bit the bullet and pulled it out.
    It had gone in almost horizontal and was just stuck in the meat of the tread, it didn't penetrate the carcass thankfully.
