Done most of them mate, I will finish them on Friday hopefully. Depends if the weather is still good. I may be converting fossil fuels into greenhouse gases, hopefully.

sounds good kev, i'm going to carls on saturday, he's gonna give my carbs a clean and a tune up/balance
hopefully it will sort out some of the slow speed idle issues and the odd cut out at standstill.
were gonna have to meet up for a ride in the near future

Yes mate we will.

Does that kit come with the emulsion tubes as well Kev or is that an optional extra? I'm looking forward to seeing some pics and read your experiences with fitting it etc. It's the exact kit I'm gonna fit to mine in the near future. Are you going to do your TPS as well?

I can just visualize you sitting in the armchair admiring and drooling over your Titanium.

Yes mate they have the emulsion tubes and Ti needles. Yum yum.

Kev, do not eat the Titanium!

Just been out and taken the back wheel off, gave it all a good scrub and clean. Cush rubbers need replacing they are all broken I shall get round to that whenever chain and sprockets get done.
Took the hugger off cleaned that and super glued the end so carbon does not split and fray. Cleaned the swingarm as best I could and some of the linkages. Re greased and put it all back together. Adjusted chain then put a blanking grommet over the hole I made in the fairing lower.

Bled brakes,
Bled rear brake,
Bled clutch,
Put on new chain + sprockets (£130!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), pulled apart rear braided line (by accident... ),
Replaced brake line,
Bled rear brake,
Removed some extra lights and crap,
Took apart, cleaned, lubed stand,
Bled clutch again as a load of air got in when i replaced the front sprocket (wtf?).

Ordered CCT's.

I've only done < 100 miles on it so far...

Now to clean up the carbs, make some carbon fibre brackets and fit the jet kit. Whoopee-do.

don't forget the pictures when your finished kev.......

When he's finished you won't be able to see it, surely?
It goes INSIDE the carbs

Had a blast on the way to work this morning too... Loads of cars on my side of the road on the A414, nothing on the other side... Cue some 10+ car overtakes. Muwahahahaha

Now I just have to perfect the 10+ car wheelie overtake
(only kidding!)

Oh f*ck, I'm supposed to be doing my fuel economy run this week... Keep forgetting! Still, over 90 miles from the tank so far.

Hello Girls, finished bitchin or got a little more left in ya?
Been to the gym, went for a blat and then made these exhaust kick plates -


and did a bit more to the carb brackets -



Need to cut a few more bits out of the plate which holds the TPS but coming along.
Don't like em? Kiss my butt!!!
