Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Checked the oil, she's about 1/8" over minimum at over 1K since I last topped it up to just under max, so to say it get's some high rev action it's not bad really, Aprox 100cc per thousand miles. Didn't top up as it's service time tomorrow, 12 month service with throttle balance and Motul 300V ...

Re: Kwacky's 675 Street Triple
The single biggest problem with Yamaha brakes is the factory pads, specified to last ages and be kind to the discs... EBC EPFA380 is what i fitted to the MT-10 (calipers look the same as the 09), good improvement from cold but once they get warm they're good enough to send my head funny without too ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I fitted a USB power socket near the ignition barrel as the factory 12V socket is a bit fussy, every plug or adapter that I have tried looses connection within a mile, and the Garmin does not switch to internal battery without tapping the screen so usually I miss the countdown and it turns off (usef...

Re: Kwacky's 675 Street Triple
What a little bundle of sweet joy that bike is. It's ideal for days like today. Quick enough, excellent handling, strong brakes, pretty good quality suspension. The tyres were spot on while it was dry but I had another massive rear spin up in the wet as the rear stepped out at the same time. Thankf...

Re: What are you doing today ??
Bought a new end can for the bike over the phone, LeoVince carbon... I could have got the stainless for £40 less, but there's something about carbon fiber.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
If ordering parts and talking to people counts than I did stuff, if not then I just looked at it. I ordered a K&N air filter from opie oils, talked to jordan bikes about remapping and which mods are worth doing, and am hot on the trail of a lightly used LeoVince decat and a set of AIS blockoff p...

Having a quiet day really, woke up with gut/back pain so no lifting and carrying for me. Also waiting for a return phone call, great stuff.

Re: Kwacky's 675 Street Triple
Just be careful on track, they can run out of ground clearance (Barn corner, Cadwell Park on Metzeler Z8's) Awesome fun though and way better on fuel than the current steed... http://scontent.flhr4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/11232225_10153573551463436_1344483322448992539_n.jpg?oh=b1358dc79c9fa95a84154...

Re: Weekend plans
Tomorrow's plan is a pt session at the gym, going on the bike as the trainer keeps saying I don't look like a biker... Then probably a ride.
Sunday, dinner in Cumbria with friends, bike or car depending on the weather.

Or a Quart, why do the Americans use it when it's 1/4 of a UK gallon not US?

It's going to be a year next month, 4500 miles of smiles so far and not a single problem except its appetite for fuel and rear tyres.

Re: What are you doing today ??
Yeah they're getting common lol but for very good reason.
All mine has taken to get me to trust it is a suspension set-up and a set of decent front pads (EBC EPFA) and naturally a decat exhaust from Delkevic.
That cruise control is really nice to have.

Re: Which of 2015's new litre sportsbikes is exciting you mo
The kwak is the most interesting, will be nice to have a good look at one but wouldn't buy it unless I win the lottery.... How can they call a 1299 a litre bike?
