Gave it a thorough wash, clean and polish, cleaned and lubed chain, wiped frame and engine over with a cloth dampened with WD40. Happiness is a shiny bike!
Got to take it in for a service on Wednesday aaaaaand.....oh bugger! Freezing temperatures expected between now and then; does this mean they'll plaster the roads with salt again?
Maybe in town will get away with it
Had a closer look at the link pipe to see about cutting it down. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just lopping a few inches off with a hacksaw. It is the standard Yamaha link pipe, and about two inches from the can there is a bend, and also a small change in diameter quite close to the can. Oh well. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

A truely thrilling afternoon buggering around to top the coolant up.
Not content with plonking the battery in such a way the tank needs removing to access it, Kawasaki have also hidden the coolant bottle away, even more inconveniently .

cried.
went to look at sorting the blowing exhaust, got first stud out easy after some heat, quickly noticed that the 'collar' between the flange and the end of the pipe/head was completely corroded through on 1 side, whats worse is this corroded part seems to be specific to this exhaust (no longer made) and worse, would need to cut and have exhaust rewelded to replace the peice anyway.
joy.
So may need to replace the whole exhaust system, which will cost as much as I paid for the bike
going to try and take a punt at getting some pipe of the right diameter cut then split in half and see if I can use that in it's place as a collar ____________________ Current: Honda City Fly CLR125 2003 Honda CB600F Hornet 2008 Yamaha FZ6 S2 + 1991 Kawasaki GPZ500

Over the weekend I borrowed my friends garage and pulled the sprag clutch to clean it as it had stopped working. Seems to be working right now well it starts and I've test ridden it. Only time will tell to see if the new seals hold.
