All I did today was looked at the cover over her as I walked by her to go to work :-( .... |
i cleaned the chain today thats after 2 days of putting wd40 on it to loosen it up it had gone a bit stiff
|
Thrashed her around the lanes again this evening :D:D:D , what a perfect evening! Not too hot and sticky , but nice hot sticky tarmac , lots of grip in the curves , but noticed a squeak that will need investigation . Think it may be coming from the front end so maybe wheel bearings , might finally find what's causing her to shake her head!
So guess what I'll be doing tomorrow:icon_denk: |
Hi guys, haven't been on in awhile. Since everyone seems 2b talkin about wat's been done to their Cbr & mostly answering back with going for a ride. Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. Finally took my '91 out after weeks of sitten under the cover for a 45 minute semi quick ride. Been too long seemed like, between working & being sick for the past week. Gotta say felt quite refreshing to get her up to 175 mph on the speedo & then ease it on down & just cruise for a bit. Before anyone jumps the gun about 175 on a ol '91 Cbr 1000 yes the rear sproket is oversized. So even tho the speedo reads 175 it off a bit. lol! Also only showed 9800 on tach & I still had a tiny bit of trottle left. Had to get off the trottle was running outta room quickly. So all in all even if even tho it wasn't a very long ride it did feel good 2b back in the saddle again. Gonna try a longer ride next weekend(weather permitting) its long overdue. Sure wished they had more older Cbr1000f's around to ride with. Oh well! Later guys!
