what have you done to your "bike" today

[bigtwinthing]

You are way way ahead of me !!!!'m

Being an old girl I'm being careful, but copper slipping all the fittings I refit and also using dielectric grease on all electrical connections

I'll get there

your pads will last ages with copperslip on them good work guys, its not a compo though just be safe and double check all bolts and torque up

Fitted new pads all round
Had to Bleed brakes (After servicing calipers, fitting new brake lines)
so I bled and bed and bled, then I had a read, first bled mc, ok, then I bled and bled and bled, nothing
Eventually, took banjo off nearside caliper, must have been a great big bubble
or something, all of a sudden, flud every where, quickly fitted the banjo
After that , Brakes bled perfectly, both sides
Did the same with the back, removed banjo, then when fluid came through, refitted and bled
Will Bleed all again tomorrow once I get some more fluid !!
Nightmare

Got all my kit on ready for the commute and then found coolant all over lh side so took car instead.
I'll have a look in the am.

Was hoping to fit the Wilbers shock to the TRX but the postman didn't bring it - gutted. So took the MT-03 out for a quick blat, then took it home and fitted red rim tape and a fender extender.

fitted rear tyre, cleaned the rear end of the bike whilst the wheel was off, adjusted the end cans so they're nice and snug against the undertray, changed some bolts on the rear caliper, still need to fix my seat cowl and fit some plastic clips/screws to the underside of the seat unit.

Fitted the new cans and downpipes. Replaced all the exhaust studs and nuts, fitted the new wavy discs. Had my ride and stripped to try and get the speedo working. But no joy with that at the moment. Found an excellent Bike parts supplier in Southampton John Oldfields. He had 9 boxes of bits to supply David Silvers!!!.. He has been there 51 years and only does OEM Honda Spares. £17 for all the 4 studs and the 4 nuts. Bargain

Carried on with the complete service on my newly acquired storm - dropped coolant, rinses system with clean water the put a flush through it, then refilled with water and ran it up stain.

During this work spotted bottom hide between rads was a bit crappy so new one on order and then new coolant and fairing back for time being ,pending pondering on manual cct - it has had new cct fitted but all the posts scare me !!!

least do the stopper mod to them and for gods sake dont just think theyll be ok as one day they will fail and it will cost you

[BrianC]

Well my confidence us growing, so maybe I'll just gave a go - be great if there was someone local who had done it

Brian

Ps sorry for what might appear as my crap spelling - iPad predictive txt !!!!!!!

[lloydie]

im sure someone local can help but if not and you fancy a trip to the Midlands i can help you fit manuals

[BrianC]

Thanks lloydie - I may very we'll take you up on that - always good to observe someone who has done it before
