All is well, she lives Couple of bits and bobs to sort out, still need to balance the carbs and do some more of the service items, but it's about ready to be MOT'd.
I have missed the noise so much, got me proper excited hearing it breathe into life

Good work guys now get some miles on them

You poor sausage you Mav re: your teeth, and not good news on the shock, did you have it rebuilt or serviced

I think you should have posted this in the "What's annoyed you today??" thread

What have I done to my bike today?
Ignored it.
It has a coolant leak but I cannot be arsed to get it hot enough to try to find out where it's leaking from.

Because I have a huge airbox all of the hoses around the thermo hsg are hidden, so it needs lots of playing around to get everything exposed. It's raining, and cold, and although I have a nice warm conservatory with heated floor to work in, I can't run the bike indoors and so it would have to be in the garden.

I'll leave it until next weekend, and do the commute in the car, 2 hours in, one hour out, instead.
I'll be seething with the traffic by next weekend and motivated to get out and fix it then.

But I've ordered a nice Yoshimura Works stem nut to cheer me up.

Fitted the belly pan and checked the oil level .
I too have a small coolant weep from somewhere on the lhs and canny be arsed to find it

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there tex, calm down tony, so your saying that your going to put something shiny and clean on your bike.....

Fitted my dynojet kit earlier

Was running stupidly lean, check out the printout below for a laugh (I'm the red line)

Need to get it re dynoed next weekend to fine tune it

I have the same problem. It has a small leak from the left side which happens to be the side that took the brunt from my off. I going to throw some Bars in as a temporary fix, see that sorts it.
