had a visit from the C-SPANNER (carl the spanner monkey)
always good to have a cuppa coffee and a chat, next time check your tyre pressures ya numpty.....
good to see you on the bike again, and to see that your hands are on the mend.....

Air has a habit of going stale when sitting around for a month or two It's cold out there but it was good to take a little ride. London traffic Cheers for the cuppa mate.

Cleaning & refreshing callipers mostly...1 x VTR set, 1x CBR 600f4 set, 1x SP1 set...

Attempted to bleed to rear brake on the T to no avail but got the belly pan fitted and a 15 tooth front sprocket and even managed a very quick 12mile test ride oh it was good, bring on better weather

what was the problem? I still haven't put my braided rear line on yet . I will need to bleed em when I do that I suppose? ?

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

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.

Sounds like chuckle brothers !!

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.

Put the battery back in after being charged in shed and fired her up started ok considering its been in garage since October
Then seeing it was nice and sunny took it for a wee spin around the town all seems to be working fine
So back into garage for a couple of months yet, still to cold me thinks

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.....
checked my tyre pressures, F28/R30.....that's after 9 weeks of hibernation.
they're now F36/R42......
chain lubed as well.
still can't be arsed to wash it tho.......

Tsk ! I sent you a Acme battery strap yonks ago...(part of the prize for winning 'Spot the Difference' comp...)





DOH !

hahahahahaha I remember mate, and it was fast blue.......

Finished off the calliper cleaning mission...



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

Before...


After a bit of faffing around...


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...

Oh & fitted ex-Jamie Titax levers...
