No catch, there's a few reasons we've been together for 17 years.
She knows what I'm like. She knows I probably wont keep it. MOT weds, couldn't get her booked in beforehand. Kinda itchy to give it a bit of a screaming round N.Wales...
I reckon I picked up either 3 points or a speed course on friday while on the VFR. Scamera van coming into Llanwrst. I don't usually go that way for this reason, but the other road had hedge cutting debris all over it, so I didn't fancy a new tyre after a puncture. Probably cost me as much anyway. ____________________ '01 929 Fireblade (Fun) - '98 VFR800 (Commuting)

MOT'd the £500 Fireblade. No Advisories. I have literally put a battery on it, wiped it down and changed a few fasteners. Maybe £40 total.

Today I did fit a Healtech FI Tuner Pro. I've owned three Bandit 1250s over the years but my current one is the only one to exhibit the well documented low speed surging issue.
This is my first foray into tuning boxes and mapping and I have to say that it's pretty straightforward.
I've richened up the mixture in the problem area and after a few tweaks and half-a-dozen test runs I appear to have dialled out the problem.
Happy Days! ____________________ Suzuki Bandit 1250

You know those moments when your thinking is really dim and you should really not be allowed to play with tools ? , or is it just me?
Trying to refit the front caliper on to Project Scrappy Hyosung, and I could not for the life of me work out which way the plate that holds the caliper went on to the fork leg???
Then I remembered , I have my other Hyosung in the garage and I could go and look at that bike to see how it should be attached .
Nearly two hours wasted, because I didn’t think
Anyway, the caliper is now on.  ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Replacing Harley fork seals:
https://i.imgur.com/9u8PNXh.jpg?1
Fuck me these things are just daft. The stanchions are almost 2 inches in diameter, the springs are surprisingly short though so also inside is a massive spacer. The addition of a rebound spring is all that keeps theses from being the most simple construction I have ever seen.
That being said at least they're easy to work on... apart from when I almost took my father-in-law out - clocked him right in the eye with the end of the stanchion Luckily he was wearing his glasses so he just looks like he lost a boxing match
<addendum>
Forgot to mention, I got the service manual to make sure all the nuts and bolts were torqued correctly. Almost nothing on the front end was Now everything's been properly reassembled the ride is much more stable, we did suspect the rear wheel alignment was a bit out but no, 'twas the front end  ____________________ Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
