Bird of course. Black 99 efi.coming up 80 thou miles. Several owners so some things already done/bodged. So far apart from usual consumables ive (with the help of some good people on here including jaws and taffy) replaced a rad,brake light switch,and crappy handlebar end weights. Fitted led display lights, removed dodgy hid kit that overheated, done the head bearings, all wheel bearings and cush drive.
Put a spacer on the rear shock,think the shock is fubar though, seems to have lost its damping. Will probably send it to jaws for a refurb when I got the dosh.
Oh and the loom fix :-D

Took Bike to Jim Allan's MCs today for its MOT passed without any problems but then again it is a RED 1 what else would you expect.

I did my winter prep today.

Cleaned,dried and loads of ACF50. Ithen left it running for 10 mins whilst it burnt off.

Previous years I've just ridden to work after preparing it the day before and have nearly died in the clouds of smoke. I'm sure they'll be a bit more tomorrow but most has cleared.

I stank of the stuff when I came in though!

After fifteen years of ownership I finally got round to changing the coolant.

So it should have some anti-freeze properties once again.:-0)
