Rode to work in the cloud down the A1 then back in sunshine on A/B roads.

First commute. Job done.

Perfect bike.

Put the fazer on the trailer & set off for a trouble free drive home to wales, leaving scotland at 0930am

.....350 miles later & the car decided to die $:\$ .

An RAC visit followed by a recovery truck followed by an eventual recovery home seen me walk through the door at 1110pm

On the plus side the

[size=78%] is ok [/size]

, & my only reliable transport!

Yeah, but Noggy, you're back, you've got the bike AND IT'S STILL SUNNY!

And it looks like you had a good time - more pluses than minuses in my book.

Enceladus · « **Reply #688 on:** 12 July 2013, 11:16:29 am »

fitted a new set of iridium plugs.
looks like the old set were the original ones that came with the bike (2001 & 9k miles) !
fired up with a very light touch of the starter

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #689 on:** 12 July 2013, 08:28:50 pm »

Nothing. Why? Cos it looks like I've come down with a viral infection - was sitting in the garden in hot sunshine with a pullover on, shivering! Someone cheer me up...

Cut my recently aquired double bubble screen ,it was lifting the airflow to a stupid height,right at your head,doh,

So Sunday will prove if the clean air undisturbed is quieter than disturbed air.

note the small beer fridge on the left,,an essential for a hot garage

littlejohno · « **Reply #692 on:** 13 July 2013, 09:19:25 am »

Purchased some redex and plug resisitors to get fitted later

and hopefull stop my bogging issue

slimwilly · « **Reply #693 on:** 13 July 2013, 11:15:12 am »

Thought about the smart gold chains !!!!!!!!

So cleaned the sideplates , bought some metallic gold,brass airfix paint and painted it,,the only way to see if it stays on is to try it

Dabbing the paint on with a pad of kitchen roll

There,, all blingy for £1.70

Leave it in the sun for a couple of hours to bake then re-lube the chain ,i never cleaned the whole chain,just the sideplates with white spirit.

So the cut down screen and gold chain,,haha, it's coming together.

Written in retrospect: balanced carbs - took about 40 minutes, a lot of which was spent squinting for adjustment screws

A squirt of WD40 helped as they then glint in the sunlight.

red98 · « **Reply #695 on:** 13 July 2013, 02:13:02 pm »

ordered front sprocket nut and clutch lever for newly aquired 600,and oil filter for the mighty thou

.....wemoto £21 for the lot delivered

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #696 on:** 13 July 2013, 02:34:57 pm »

I never used to trust aftermarket oil filters, as one mechanic told me they're generally not very well made - anybody else heard similar?

slimwilly · « **Reply #697 on:** 13 July 2013, 03:04:37 pm »

No !!!

I expect and trust them so far,, for my bike and all my cars and vans,even my new hilux has aftermarket filters.

Skippernick · « **Reply #698 on:** 13 July 2013, 04:43:41 pm »

New front tyre on.
Cleaned and greased the spindle etc whilst the wheel was out.
Next brake lines. Gulp.
