Did you fill your front tyre with helium?

Fitted the new fuel cap. Huge improvement as the old one was starting to look tatty.

Realistically i am running out of things to improve now. The only thing left is to replace the clutch m/c.

Watched that was very good Frankie. I should of bought my Go Pro with me too!!

Been out early for a thrash.

Must do it more often this year as the roads are so much quieter early on a Sunday morning.

Sunday mornings are usually good for me if you want to hook up for breakfast somewhere.

Nice pootle into work but it's still freezing cold.

Well if they can't work out how to use their indicators you can't expect them to realise that a motorbike is going to blow them into the weeds!

Well not me doing it but my fairings

Had a big rear slide this morning, guess I was too heavy with the right hand on a bend. TC did its job

Looks like I've sold the old plastics off the zx6r. I need to do a stock take to see what I've got left.

fighting with trackday fairing best fit I have had but the quality is terrible. There is weaved backing and then the gel coat on top on the top and the gel coating in places is just cracking and falling off. What's annoying me more is a paid a little bit more as i read some reviews saying how good it was.

Fitted a CF rear hugger tonight, what a PITA !! Had to pack it with spacers etc to stip it catching the rear wheel, but at least that's it, nothing more getting done to it this year.

Started it ,taxed it,lubed the chain,want to get out on it at some point this weekend

Prfracekits wish i hand not started messing with it or it would be on its way back.

On the off chance you do send it back it might be worth looking at Race Products in Market Rasen, they aren't cheap but mine were spot on, fitted out of the box, dzu's included and fitted, plus they crash well and are flexible without the gel falling off.
Fwiw I was aimed at them by a friend that had tried them all and suffered your same problems.

Washed the SX, cleaned and lubed the chain, fitted an exhaust gasket, fitted some frame plugs and swapped some of the bolts for stainless ones.

Rode it for the first time since October.

Good afternoon with young Rocket

God I've missed the buzz of riding

Both bikes look great
