Surely you have a rear wheel on one of them that holds air?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Oil change and new filter for the big orange monster today. And took the crash bars off to have them powder coated orange.

Also having ridden it without the off road sump guard / skid plate, it’s soooo much quieter without that echo chamber, so it’s not going back on, just need to source the standard plastic protector to keep the front of the engine protected from road debris.

Took the Tuono to have new Brembo pads fitted- there was a recall on the old ones- under warranty.
Also, because my front wheel had some corrosion at the tyre bead, that was also replaced under warranty. Bonus- they also put a new Pirelli Supercorsa tyre on the new wheel fox, again, under warranty.
Not a bad day!*



*Apart from the torrential rain all the way to Colchester for 8am.......

The indicators cancelling function disappeared recently, so that's next to be replaced under warranty in a couple of weeks.
