i gave kermit two coats of finis wax and one coat of hydra

Because I'm temporarily a fairy right now? I haven't ridden in a while and it's bloody wet outside. Not the best conditions to return to the bike in, and because it now has a front end that does something other than stop me having to do constant wheelies everywhere it's gonna feel very different to ride no doubt

bolted that scoop back into place that fell off

went to chorley yamaha and got an oil filter and some oil


Ordered some Hel front and rear brake lines for my dads 954 blade, a brembo rear disc and brembo pads for it too

and a Black WRC rally flap to to make a linkage protector on the GSXR

you still not had that fixed yet

No in fact I need to give them a call to find out what is going on....

Don't know how you guys make it through winter.....

So today I took Hornetto on a short ride.. Couldn't go Hatton cause my brother has suddenly become a faerie and wouldn't let me go without him (he was paying for my fuel! ) Went for a 20 mile ride and it feels so good. And having a new clutch cable has made a huge difference. Only bad thing I've noticed is at low speeds ( < 10mph) the front end pulls down to the right.. Like it wants to lean when I don't. Any ideas what could cause this? It's a very minor irritance and once I'm moving it is non-existant.. Except when I'm bringing the bike back up from a sharp left corner at speed but then it's welcome as far as I'm concerned

what was changed in the swap ?
was the new forks serviced ?
were the forks checked for straightness ?

I dunno. We kept the speedo, wheel, brakes and fender thing. The forks had the yoke or whatever it is still on them. They were straight and had been recently serviced, like new

virt im in tomorrow if you want to pop round after work and i will take the piss a bit and i'll have a look if you want .

Found out today I'm getting screwed by my suspension guy...... my shock has been at his shop since the 1st and he still hasn't done a damn thing.....not even a parts list........
Think it's time to have it picked up and find a new guy......
