Serviced the Exup, topped up the oil and took it for a little blast.
Haven't rode it for over six months and it still feels tight as a drum.
So glad I kept hold of it.

That kind of makes it look like a tiger in the jungle

Bought a rear hugger and fenda extenda - now looking for a decent battery charger (Oxford?) - any advice?

I have one like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/CTEK-MXS-5-0-Temperature-Compensation/dp/B00FC42HAA/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522681419&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=battery+charger+yamaha+ctek
But the Yam branded version like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-YEC-8-Battery-Charger/dp/B007CHQ29C/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1522681495&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=battery+charger+yamaha+ctek.
I keep it permanently on as an optimiser.

Think you might find that is a part of the side wall.
Sharpie thinks your only out of tread pattern when you take the side off the valve cap. :rolleyes

Not sure to be honest. Bought it already done from a Foccer on here.
Thought I remember him saying it was a Sargent.
Whatever it is, it's extremely comfortable on long runs and very good quality. Although it's a bit higher than standard with the extra padding so makes me tip toe a bit on certain cambers.

Went out for a spin up to RAF conningsby with a few mates. Saw some great aerial displays from the Jets.
Then went for a cruise over to Cadwell Park to watch a few track day sessions.
Great weather and a great ride

Fitted a new battery and front sprocket+nut. Sprocket cover went back on with about half of the gasket that was there when I took it off last time.

Never seen a bike with a gasket around the sprocket cover before, is it worth worrying about replacing it? The back and bottom of its open anyway...
