Nice ride to high beech , a bit empty today,, then up through the essex to Duxford, spitfire came right over our heads to land as we passed, then on 505 to Royston, past silver ball 507 to Baldock services for food, then heading home back on 507, ( nice road ) , A10 and home. The dog bottom right was waiting for a bit of sausage samwich

rode it to work out of pure protest really that I haven't had the chance to ride it recently......got stuck behind numerous bell ends resulting in some nice corners having the fun sucked out of them and now it has started foccing raining and I foresee a wet ride home at 0630 in the morning

I should have taken up bog snorkelling or something

New battery. Bad timing as I've replaced tyres, chain and sprockets, now battery, and hardly use it any more. Gotta keep her nice though, been together too long.

Changed my front tyre myself. First attempt only took me best part of 1/2 hour including balancing.
And of course I've only fitted the best tyre too!

Come on slim....results please....dont have us sat here wondering.

I had a 50 mile squirt around the locality, was good fun.

slimwilly · « **Reply #4689 on:** 28 June 2015, 08:23:41 pm »

I would not be telling the truth if I said I felt a difference,,all I can say is it pulls quite well 5 to 6,000 revs then gets going at 8,000 fuck, it goes straight to redline, each gear,,,it did before but when you are just popping down the road to test high revs you are in silly power,speed mode,,hell I had to hang on,,i do not usually change down two gears to feel high rev power but I did

:eekhell it pulls,

I did one from standstill all the gears to 150mph (private road) 14 seconds,,i was steady in lower gears to keep the front down

, a bit scary with the bars all light, I was sat at the front of the seat , I could do better by really leaning forwards if I tried.

No but it really goes up top,,i was already happy with the middle grunt of the map I had,its where I usually ride the thing,so I think its still around the same.Quite happy tho,,its a bloody beast,well especially with the bars up in the air and trying to slip me off the back

Here's the thing with me....ok mine is running a bit lean....ive done most of the mods but i just need to disconnect the o2 sensor

But im still not even running a power commander yet my bike, i feel is still a beast in the power department.......and im stalling fitment of the PC5 i have because as usual im not 100% about keeping the bike & if i take it out the box & fit it ill get less on resale.

Everyone says no way if you do the mods you have to run a power commander.....im not entirely sure about that....mine is perfectly useable and the mods have each worked in their own way to make it better......but running a power commander without actiually custom mapping it like brooker did is probably just as bad as not running one at all i reckon.

Will be good to eventually meet up with you slim to compare the bikes even roughly as we thunder on

Fitted new SS studs, oil cooler, oil filter, new coolant pipe, some EXUP valve-less headers (thanks Devilsyam) , fresh oil, fresh coolant, polished the headers a bit, polished the SS link pipe, gave the can a once over too, fitted new SS jubilee clips where I could, replaced as many bolts as I could with SS while putting it back together. Just to remind you the following is a before and after.

Started scrubbing in the front tyre on a gentle 10 miler. I love the way new tyres make it feel like a different bike.

A blast to Tenby before my night shift to see how the other half live.
