I just use quick detailer for a quick wipe over, g3 i think from halfords.

Muc-off seems to work just fine, i got it on special £25 for 10 litres.

I'm thinking that myself, they do say that they fit Yamaha MT series bikes...

Yesterday I received a Stanley Fatmax drill. Seems well made and i don't doubt the 57nm torque rating, its got some guts compared to my 18 year old 14.4v einhell.
Slightly used but a good saving over new (bran-used)

With my '13 STR the instructions were Up to 3/4 max rpm (9k with its 13k redline) No full throttle starts No prolonged operation at constant revs. Quite a fun break in procedure, hopefully they havent changed it too much. It didn't do it any harm with track days being the only thing to make it burn ...

Happy new bike day for tomorrow, try not to baby it too much.

Pulled it out of the garage, lubed the chain then put it back in while I got changed... Then it started to rain with a couple of flashes of lightning.

Ah well it's ready for next time.

There is only one way to set the crank in an inline 3 engine but Yamaha had to make it their own so called it a CP3, MARKETING is the word here, hence why the MT07 is branded a CP2, CrossPlane twin? really, Yamaha?

I was supposed to be working but my shift got passed to someone else, so my dad mentioned a noise from his car and a swift test run told me that the cheap top mount that I fitted last month had already soiled the bed (Trying not to swear here). Took the trusty Honda (Civic 2.2Diesel) to get another ...

Working my day off tomorrow and having a very lazy day on Sunday... Not that i want to but with £13 to my name and low fuel in both car and bike options are limited... Pay day Tuesday.

Might have a crack at cleaning the garage.

Skipping the gym, throat feels like ive eaten a cactus and all my get up and go has already gone... Tomorrow.

This could be the start of an interesting series for you even though they have the RS

Hope it doesn't make you too impatient for yours, I would ask for time on the demo bike to scratch the itch.

Welll out of 6 companies ive contacted only Parkitt and Jordan bikes replied at all, asked around and the consensus was that it takes a brave man to let Jordans tune it, im about half way between the two so distance isn't a factor. And the price was within £20. You are the first negative comment ive...

Today i did get, an Email from Parkitt Performance penceiling me in for the 27th for fitting of the quick shifter/autoblipper and a full custom rolling road tune with back-to-back testing between the Yamaha and K&N air filters... And a suspension set-up. Exciting stuff unless you're my bank acco...

I stopped using them after one tried to get behind my eye while i was riding, uncomfortable is an understatement as it creased up it didnt go all the way and hurt a lot... Back to the specs.

How do you rate the Vtrec levers as i dare say i'll want some for the new steed if it comes with the stock triumph silver ones... SORRY! I totally missed this question, I really like them. They are very well made and the look and feel is great, easy to fit and adjust with very minimal play up and d...

They do look good but as said, over your hands is almost as good for view and way better for filtering.

Might have to get some myself...

Tonight, off to see froends for a bit

Sat, work... Doing 6 days a week at the moment

Sun, going to watch a charity football game against the neighbouring depot followed by a well earned hoon on the Transformer.

Trying to get a little more healthy so just had white rice with peas and diced mushroom, then added Bacon and HP brown sauce. Actually really enjoyed it, didn't think I would.

Banned swearing have they? I wonder if that will be enforced when the football is on...


As for that pub, never been and probably never will, even in the car.
