Just did a short afternoon run to take advantage of the only bit of decent weather we're likely to have this weekend - A361 to Chipping Norton, A44 to Evesham, downhill on Fish Hill for first time but too much traffic to really enjoy it, A46 to Alcester then Stratford-upon-Avon (boring bit), A422 to Banbury, then back home on A361. Nice fast A road route, 110 miles, happy

Do you have any tips from just doing this yourselfGet something to plug the fuel pipe with otherwise residual will pour out over your bike after disconnecting. Be careful not to kink said fuel hose when placing tank back in place or you'll be chasing around a dodgy spluttering engine. replace with a decent filter.yamaha or k&n, apparently some aftermarkets dont fit too snug.

Were there many bikes about round Dundrod ? I love having a blast round there. It is a fantastic run down to Newcastle etc! I used to live not far from Dundrod and used to get up there often, used to sit at the Joey Dunlop stand and just listen to the silence, sounds daft I know. Would just shut my eyes and remember the great times I had at the Ulster over all the years. I can still see Joey &Robert on the podium along with other greats even before there time, Redman, Hailwood, Agostini. Daft I know

Fitted and bled new Venhill stainless front brake lines to match the rear and replaced fuel filter 8) If anyone is thinking of fitting stainless lines I suggest you give these a go. Top quality and much easier to fit than other top name lines I have fitted to other bikes in the past. Good customer support too
P.S. I hate bleeding brakes :'(
Yamaha Fazer 'the only bike you'll ever need' maybe ???

Nothing fell off I didnt fall off Dropped it off at the garage to get my front lamp & indicators wired up. Went to the spray shop with a mystery mod.....expensive job but will be worth it being done properly & always gonna get good money if i sell it on in future.

All going well but had a moment when white van man decided to ignore the stop sign and was practically on top of me, managed to swing round him thankfully nothing coming the other way. We convinced to stop and although I do not speak much Spanish I think he got the gist of the conversation . Apart from that 180kms of sun and fun. Lew

Fitted 2 new coils to a stuttering machine that is getting on my man boobies now. To say the coils did not solve the bucking bronco is an understatement. To be honest its the not knowing what is wrong with my pride and joy that is doing my one brain cell in.
Thing is how much money do I throw at the problem? Any how the tank cover fits a treat but is no bloody good if the bike insists on throwing me from the saddle. Daz

Got it Ivanised by Mike The Guru over t'Luke's place, so got to have a good sniff round R1 fork conversions, single-sided s/arms and copious amounts of carbon dipping too - yum! :b
Then had a cracking ride home along the A4 (Bath, Calne, Chippenham, Marlborough, Hungerford) and up via Wantage and Faringdon to home. V. fast as A4 was pretty empty after Bath, jeez you can get some serious speed going on there when it's like that! :b :b

Fitted a Rentech luggage rack. What a ballache! but worth it now it's fitted.
Will attach photies tomorrow. Shame I'm not going on the road trip now I have everything. |
