No worries I have some white B&Q white emulsion under the stairs that will sort that lovely

Thought about using sand-textured paint?
Should help you get a grip on the frame with your ludicrously outsized pins.

Gave mine its probly last run of the year, got a new fairing in the shed so the bikes off the road. New fairing going on over the long dark uns, total rear strip doon, bearings etc greased, front sussies off for a check over and fresh oil, oil and filter and hopefully the shites off the roads and the days are getting lomger and shes good for the sunmer. Then its more than the thousand miles I've done this last year.

Just serviced my fzs600's fzs1000 rear caliper, popped the pistons out and red rubber greased them, stripped and cleaned the seals, copper greased all the bolts, went really well.. Treated myself to a set of genuine yamaha rear pads too.

Lovely!

Fitted new clutch cable and went for a quick spin; are we sure it's the middle of November? It feels like its still early September here...

washed headlight and rear light, I say washed, it was more of a damp kitchen roll thing

fazervic · « **Reply #61 on:** 20 November 2011, 06:42:24 pm »

changed my clutch slave cover and gave it a bit of a clean,

Sprayed up new cylinder head, cleaned pistons, ordered some more bits from AJ Sutton. My brother says it will never run again. I will prove him wrong!

GringoRojo · « **Reply #63 on:** 21 November 2011, 01:47:07 pm »

washed it, and hers too. knackered now

Discovered what the beak is for- stopping a bow wave coming over the front on river crossings. I rode through a 2ft flood trying to get out of town this morning. Was a bit hairy, especially as there was a strong cross flow as the water gushed out from a park gateway onto the road. There were other floods but none as bad. Quite chuffed with myself.

Glad I decided to wear my goretex Sidis too rather than the shorter Altbergs.

Finally completed re-assembly after paint job (front indicators are b******s through fairing lowers!)

Fitted new Akrapovic pipe and Evotech tail tidy

GringoRojo · « **Reply #66 on:** 11 April 2012, 12:39:01 am »

Washed it, broke it, washed it again and currently waiting for forkoil OIL FOR FORKS to arrive before I start the spring clean on her.
How's the black eye btw Gringo?

Lowered the front forks through the yokes by 15 mm, looks like rain, went out anyway overcooked it on a roundabout, front slid out on me, leg out, kicked it back up, thought that'll teach me, took it home gonna wait for it to be dry.

Went to the BSB with the girl friend. She's still not talking to me

Also, really need to wash all the filth of the bike $:\$

Rode it for once and got my eldest to wash it before allowing him to ride it into the garage.

DryRob · « **Reply #71 on:** 11 April 2012, 09:59:49 pm »

took the back end apart to see about tidying it up, confirmed the undertray is not standard for my model, peeled most of the old stickers off and found out why they were there, looked around for a touch up kit

GringoRojo · « **Reply #72 on:** 12 April 2012, 12:31:20 am »

eye is fine. bollocks are still smarting though.

on the bright side, bike passed 10000 miles today

That don't sound good Gringo.

On the bike thing, I'm getting a bit fed up owning one without a centre stand as it's a pain when cleaning
