On the dash, something is wrong. I assumed gps... The cbr6f with massive topbox can easily do that though I have no desire to find where she tops out...

[FretGrinder]

Fitted a 12v socket to the MT09.

It's an official yamaha kit that wires directly into the bikes loom via an auxiliary connector, so it runs off the ignition.

Decided to be proactive and get a new battery as the old motobatt isn't holding charge like it used to, can't complain after +6 years.

Save myself from taking the fairing off I looked up the part number on motobatt site. Did a search on that auction site and up pops a different motobatt....says it fits my bike.
I ain't got time fo dis so plumbed for the proper one albeit the more costly one.

So yeah...new battery.

Fitted a voltage and temperature gauge to the grom, the unit replaces the top clamps on the bars and looks pretty good. Needs some cable ties to hide some wiring and it is done. Very happy!

[bezza1966]

had a few parcels arrive from the Land of Fried rice..

Lovely Top of the Range Bike alarm (£9) gotta be excellent..
also an adjustable sidestand, as the one on the Skygo is about 2" too short!!!!

and also a lovely new(to me) back tyre is going to be fitted in the week prior to the MOT test....



Do I need a rear brake light switch for MOT????

Tidied garage and got the 250 out,carbs off, ready to clean.

I may have too many tires.. Half are worn out but dump charges 4 quid each, which I was refusing to pay. Two more good ones on the wall.

It takes a fuck ton of effort to cut up a tire, particually the bead wires. It will ruin hacksaw blades but I have not yet attempted with the grinder. I have disposed of a few this way. thin disc in slow grinder and a scalpel blade has it in 3 pieces very quick.

If its going to cost 4 quid Anyway I am tempted to post them without a return address. I do have some freepost return labels..


Got 250 carbs stripped. Lots of sand and shit in the float bowls, unsure where or how it has got in - was it hiding somewhere when cleaned years ago?! Or has it come from the tank.
Jets were blocked, soaking in carb cleaner in a mini jam jar.

Head race press makes things a lot easier when fitting head races.

Old tyres mix really well with petrol and speed cameras.

[Rogerborg]

Today's comedy brought to you by the numbers 10115 and 915.

10115 miles on the Enfield, with 915 showing on my "trip counter", a 3 digit combination lock which I use to record when I last filled up.

10115 - (9)915 = 100, right? Riiiight? No, wait, is that two hundr-

*cough* *splutter* rolllll to a stop. Not had to flip it to reserve for quite a while.
