Last night gave it a quick check over, fresh eyes and all that, no more leaks or anything, smart - 
.
Had borrowed a Carbtune from my brother, glad I have a long screw driver to get down onto the adjustment screws, not too bad once you have sussed where to hold a torch and where to get the screwdriver down through.
Thought I had got there, bang on, then curiosity hit about accuracy :rolleyes , so I swapped some of the pipes over, :eek could not believe my eyes - all over the shop, gave it a few blips, tried different revs, unswapped - reswaped, oh sh1t. Spent ages trying to set up a half way house, then swap 2 back and check for equal differences back the other way, must have been going in right direction I had to keep tweaking the idle down, but that got confusing aswell. I am sort of happy where I ended up
, but want to do some checks on those gauges and maybe come back to this :\ .
I am quite good at getting onto those screws now :rollin .
And I now know the fan works - first time I have had it come on, helped to warm the garage, would have been better on one of the cold nights :rolleyes .
TPS checked just over 5000, tweaked then realized did not need to, it's either down, 5100, or up; it is not a linear adjustment through the range, as I could get it twitching low to 5100 without touching it and similarly on the high side of being right.
Last couple of bits back onto the bike fairing, mirrors, side panels
turn the tank round & put the seat on
The result of this and another late night . . . . I rode it to work this morning.
But even better than that . . . . I get to ride away from work later - - - RESULT
:lol
Hi Packie
cheers for feedback, convinced me , I will spray the gear linkage, but I might take some autosol to the footplate even though thats against my cleaning policy !!! other side brake pedal likewise, maybe some other bits ???
Have been thinking for some time I will spray the lower forks when I have the wheel off for a tyre in the future, but can't decide colour, White (got black wheels, but they need cleening up aswell), blue, black-gloss, satin maybe (less fussy on prep) with reflective strips to improve side on night visibility ?????
