Out of interest which joint was it that was leaking MacMacV2 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 4:06 pm Finally got round to the post Devon tlc for Nue Red.
Sorted out the exhaust leak so hopefully less popping n banging. Whiped lots of clag off the swing arm... damm scotoiler. Topped up said scotoiler. Didn't adjust the chain after the 800+ miles...damm scotoiler...Hahaha. Took a leaf out of Tony's handbook of not cleaning it apart from the rear wheel had a wipe off
To be fair there is a hosepipe ban in place.

Rear header. It's a Moriwaki full system. Keep tightening the clamp but there was still movement with the weight pulling it down. I had a fiddle losening the can straps & popped the spring off the link pipe. This gave me the wiggle room to put a bolt through the footrest hanger. Should hold it all in place now. Just hope the bracket don't snap!sirch345 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 6:42 pmOut of interest which joint was it that was leaking MacMacV2 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 4:06 pm Finally got round to the post Devon tlc for Nue Red.

Gave Nue Red a run out. Picked up a smoked visor, filled it up ready for Sunday's run to Devon.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Tried, and failed, again, to bleed my brakes. A bottle and a half of fluid and no joy. The master cylinder will be off to HEL by the weekend for testing. If it's not faulty I don't know what more I can do. .

Thanks for the reply Mac, for some reason or another it had slipped my mind you have the full Moriwaki system on Nue Red.MacV2 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 9:19 pmRear header.

Washed & polished Neu Red & The Murvinator.
I did take Neu red out for a spin yesterday... & did the nigh on 600 miles Devon run over the weekend so it does get ridden...

Polished it, and had fun riding with a Ducati Panigale dude…
For all that extra money, on real roads, there’s not much difference…
Then again - I am a firestorm nut
