My bad, sorry Red. Hey - anyone tried out the new PR4s yet?

Rode it again. This is getting to be a habit

My new K&N air filter arrived from Wemoto today , hopefully I will have time to fit it on Sunday .

Checked the bike over for it's MOT. Cleaned brakes and fitted new pads in the front.

stevierst · « **Reply #1937 on:** 21 February 2014, 06:07:02 pm »

Re-fitted the chain oiler from on top of the chain near the front sprocket, to the rear sprocket using a bit of stealthy pipework.

I then went for the first ride of the year on her, a quick blast on the twisties, and over to Raceways where I took an MT09 for a lengthy spin (again). Love the MT as a bit of fun, but I think the FZ is more for me, and keep the Thundercat for the commute.

Andy FZS · « **Reply #1938 on:** 21 February 2014, 06:30:21 pm »

Why did you reroute the oiler?

Davebo · « **Reply #1939 on:** 21 February 2014, 08:12:15 pm »

The mighty Thou is going in for a Service + MOT next week so took it up to the dealers for a quick once over.

Managed a sunny ride in between a hailstorm and a downpour. Yay!

Clearly my skills need some work. Looked like an elephant seal on dry land when slow manouvering.

Why did you reroute the oiler?

It was getting a bit too much buildup in the sprocket casing, and the inside of the chain was looking quite dry. Just thought is try it elsewhere and see if it made a difference.
I had it above the front sprocket on my R1 for 6 years though and it was perfect!

Andy FZS · « **Reply #1941 on:** 21 February 2014, 08:32:34 pm »

Ok cheers. Let me know if you think it's an improvement.

ACF50 ready for my March ride to the flood lands

Also fitted bar risers (not pictured).

And yeah I know the pictures are shit.

Andy FZS · « **Reply #1943 on:** 22 February 2014, 12:08:37 am »

The subject looks ok though

red98 · « **Reply #1944 on:** 22 February 2014, 12:42:07 pm »

Passed MOT...... :DP

fireblake · « **Reply #1945 on:** 22 February 2014, 01:08:55 pm »

Oiled my chain. As i do after every ride lately. I'm off for a few days so hopefully i might actually clean it. Maybe!

Fitted K&N filter, and lubed the chain

took my daughter out on her first motorbike ride
shes a natural great ride out 30 miles
first ride on my fazer since i changed the plugs balanced the carbs
carbs still shitty though didnt want to take em apart but thunk ive gona have to
tickover hunting a bit sort of 1-2.5 up and down etc
smelled a little fuely but checked and nothing leaking so it must be what might have dribbled when i took the tank off
i did clean the engine off afterwards ?

nice day out there

How old is she, I started taking my own kids out for long runs once they could reach the foot pegs.
The biggest problem I had was with my youngest When I took him out, he kept trying to stand up to see what speed I was doing

They were great pillion riders and I would nearly forget they were behind me

HarryHornby · « **Reply #1949 on:** 22 February 2014, 03:45:17 pm »

Fixed the main beam flash trigger, oiled the chain, stuck my grips on the handlebars and then rode to Canterbury for a rehearsal in the Cathedral. LOVE being back on two wheels!
