Well I changed the oil & oil filter, air filter, fitted a new set of EBC HH pads all round and gave the old girl a good scrub and polish @tu*

All set and ready to go now ......

Not had chance to do anything with the bike today, was at work at 5:30am got home this afternoon then to the mothers to wish her well on her 81st birthday:bow:.
Have just been in the garage and gave the bike a longing look over (all I have done to it today) as I got the steps out to change a light bulb in the vestibule.

But it is ready for a blast up to Devils Bridge in the morning @tu* come rain or shine.

I've done feckall with mine since putting it in the garage Friday and doing a quick check with the multimeter. I've been on the FJR instead and tbh it does nothing for me.

Looked at it. Was too pissed once it stopped raining to do anything else.

Rode it.

265 miles of cross country fun with a stop over at the Super Sausage cafe.

Filled it with fluid to check for leaks found 2 and sorted them, so drained it ready to refill today with the correct stuff, just trying to decide what type,

Nothing, waiting for feeler gauges to turn up so I can check valve clearances and then start putting it all back together for the summer :bang:

Yesterday I gave her a 40 k service, replaced the head bearings, front mudguard and brake pads. then gave her a good clean whilst the panels were off.

Glorious sunny day today so off to get her dirty again.

I ran behind mine for seven miles. Still never caught up with it.

I was on the treadmill though, which is directly behind the 'bird in the garage.

Tested for the leccy gremlins on mine today with assistance from John, thanks John. @tu* Tests indicate the gen coils are smoked or at least some of them so a new one is on its way. Fingers crossed.

Fitted a battery monitor (tri colour LED) to the bike today, very simple install and will hopefully give me an early indication of any pending issues @tu*
