And it's what I did to my rear but the front will need the other boot put on to stop mud and crap going down the plug hole .

If you get caught in the rain and the drain hole is blocked it will soon fill up with crap .
And then the next time you change the plugs all that crap might fall into the pot !!

Judging by the amount of oil coming into the airbox from the front cyl breather i don't think a bit more bore wear will be that bad

Fitted my scorpion exhausts on the red firestorm, removed complete exhaustsystem from my blue firestorm in order to have a brief exhaust valves inspection and cleaned some parts of the blue bike. Now waiting for another VTR engine to use on the blue bike.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
looks the dogs that lanny
i was bored so decided to to rip mine apart as ive been meaning to crack on with it for a while.
they do look ace like this imo... very mean!

not an easy job taking engine out one handed lol
swing arm & front end off tomorrow. dont want to do too much as ive got a month off lol
all the brakes are off atm & clip-ons, wiring loom off, carbs, coolant & oil dropped ready for engine out.
got to decide whether to repair the cracked hugger or buy another, then respray the race fairings and seat while the frame, swing arm, subframe, wheels etc are away

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I went for a ride this morning, couldnt sleep, totally hacked off and agitated, think I annoyed the neighbours when I stormed out the close at 3.15am.
got onto the M20 and floored it
my sat nav said I hit 164mph is that possible with the storm?
