Rode it to work, saw 22000 miles and thought "only 2k miles until my next service"
24k is brake fluid and oil i think
*Edit* Brake fluid, Coolant and Oil change, even though I change my oil every 4k miles instead of 8.
Bet Honda will want £200ish to do it too! ____________________ 2017 KTM 350 XC-F - 2014 Yamaha R6 - 2005 Yamaha YZ125

adjusted float heights on the 6/12, how it idles below 2k which is quite nice, makes town riding a lot easier.
still needs another tweak i think but that can wait til ive done another plug chop in a day or 2. priority for now is strip down the er5 engine out of my mates bike to see just how fucked the head gasket is.
Cheers

Fitted my new exhaust at the weekend. SP Engineering carbon stubby. Sounds brilliant, very loud with the db killer out!

Also cleaned the chain, and lubed with ep90 (thanks for the tip). Gave the bike a bit of a clean and polish with wd40 ____________________ Sold: 2003 satin black Yamaha R6

Looked at the bike cover only to discover loads of little holes. Couple that with the piss strains on my back tire and it's obvious the neighbourhood cats have been having a fun time with my poor KLE. The little furry bastards will pay for this, it's war ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Somehow (really no idea how) I passed my MOT with not a single advisory! I've accidentally been riding around for nearly a month without an MOT too, been followed by a couple of police cars in that time too, not complaining
About to change my spark plugs and oil to see if it helps my crunchy gears and rough idle. Wish me luck! ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

Got pulled over because... in his words... "I could hear you from miles away on my own motorbike"
"Please change your license plate and calm it down"
and off I go, top bloke, he didn't see me travelling at *ehem* the speed I was but he heard me.
The only lesson I learned from this was... "Your exhaust sounds awesome from several miles away " ____________________ 2017 KTM 350 XC-F - 2014 Yamaha R6 - 2005 Yamaha YZ125

Last night I gave the bike a wipe down, Adjusted the chain, quick spin around the block, removed top box, measured a few things to give her a spring over clean and replace a few bits for aesthetics. Then sat in my garden next to my bike, with the assistance of doggies, and ordered a few bits for her.
At 8pm. In the warm, dry light of a spring evening. Can of Pepsi Max in hand.
Although I poke fun at people that moan about our weather, I gotta admit, last night was a lovely relief.
