Replaced front brake fluid as I was getting mad brake fade, seems good now.

Sealed up all my exhaust joints and lubed chain.

Ready for a blast tomorrow

I fitted oem cush drive rubbers earlier this year, bought from D.S, no change from £50 iirc, where as new pattern rubbers can be had for £25 on ebay, you pays your money and takes your chances, seen as I fitted new tyres/chain/sprockets at the same time, I couldn't say how much of a difference it made.

iirc even D.S sell pattern cush drive rubbers.

As far as I can see they're just moulded blocks of rubber. The only thing that can change is the compound, assuming they fit ok.

So Honda can't do anything that a pattern company can't, except charge more for the name on the box they came in.

But they do need changing when worn, roughly every second chain and sprocket set, in my experience.
An indicator of how worn they are are the little straps that hold the pair together- if they've snapped or worn away, it's time for new ones.
