got new brake pads to replace the rears on me old bike which are making a horrid scraping noise and not much slowing down!!!! but because the new ones are top spec, I decided they could go on the front of my good bike and then the ones from there could go on the back old bike.




in case this is confusing you on how the back and front pads could be interchangeable, I should explain that this is on push bikes :lol:

The back brake on the tuono is always a pain to bleed. It's all because its an under slung caliper. Going to have another go next weekend.

Oil and filter changed decided to go the mineral diesel route and after 120 mile round trip all sounded and felt sweet. Gear changes are definitely smoother and the temperature ran between 60-73 albeit was bitterly cold today.

swapped batteries over, pain in the butt, I forgot how tight a fit the larger battery was, I still can't believe there isn't a simpler method of attaching batteries to vehicles, especially in this day and age..... :roll:
checked my tyre pressures, F28/R30.....that's after 9 weeks of hibernation.
they're now F36/R42...... :thumbup:
chain lubed as well.
still can't be arsed to wash it tho....... :lol:

Finished off the calliper cleaning mission...

Image

Finally got round to fitting the Mosfet RR to Nue Red...

Before...
Image

After a bit of faffing around...
Image

Remember this is an F2 so the ECU is in a different position, turned that round to give a bit of slack on the loom, moved the flasher relay onto the top of the under tray, unpicked the wires from the block connector to save cutting the loom...Bobs your bodging uncle... :lol:

Oh & fitted ex-Jamie Titax levers... :thumbup:
