Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
took the shock linkages out, cleaned and lubed them and all back in, did I notice the difference, maybe a bit, but happy how its going. I did manage 139 miles today on 1 tankful, then light came on, that was riding it reasonably. its better faster lol. That was yesterday, today, ive done my favourite roundabout and small link road about 25 times this morning at 0545, really quiet and getting the handling a bit suited to me. The brakes seem bloody amazing, loving the power of this thing.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

big girl sailed through on a daytime MOT. rode round the corner. uncovered the lights and rode off with a years ticket... chuffed as..![]()

I was beginning to think (as we'd heard nothing from you during the day) you had ridden over to Popkats


Good work Kev

The red one I got a few weeks ago had its cams rotated and a years MOT. Fella came to look at her today and she is now on her way to the Republic of Ireland. Cost me 750 including servicing and the MOT and got 1150 for her so feels pretty good
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
just back off holidays and back to finish the jobs I started before I left.
had already taken the forks out and off to Revs racing for a service and re-spring before teh holiday, so hopefully they will be done by end of this week,
then today:
I took ohlins rear shock back out to get it adjusted for more sag,
fitted service kits to clutch slave & master
fitted braided hose
bleed the clutch
so bike on ramp with no front forks or wheel and no rear suspension to hold wheel up .... so I hope the jack doesn't lower its self
