All parts have now arrived ( Clutch slave and master cylinder re build kits, slave cylinder gasket, dyna beads and fuel over flow cup ). I'm on holidays in a week for 2 weeks and will have the time to devote to her doing some much needed maintanence. Also ordered some more packs of dyna beads to do the Blackbird and keep some in stock as well. Standby for the inevitable barrage of questions when I stuff something up !!!!! lol.

 

Ahhh, not perfect, but a helluva lot better than it was.

 

Yep. You won't get much better than that.

 

Tip : best, or should I say quickest and easiest, way to get DynaBeads into the tire
Bordo is to (with both beads seated 1st) pop to pop a bead and dump 'em in and reseat
sometimes they can be a stubborn pita to put through the valve, but I'll admit I can
be a bit impatient myself at times.

 

I'm the same Sprock.....lol. I'll try the valve first mate and if my patience runs out then I'll pop a bead and do it that way. I'll have to get a bead breaker though. Thanks.

 

Ordered my stick coils!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

 

Rebuilt the clutch slave and master cylinders this afternoon. Will post a how to shortly. I did it so it's not rocket science....lol. Pretty easy job made easier by having a mighty vac. Its amazing how some new springs and fluid can smarten up what was obviously a tired system. Looking at doing front brake pads tmrw.

 

fitted my 4th front tyre of the year. Now running pilot roads front and rear.

Passed another thousand - 88000 miles on the clock.

 

fixed slight coolant weep off one of my hoses , fresh coolant , oil and filter changed , balancer adjusted and manual over ride switch for thermo fan . All set for Phillip Island moto GP

 

Enjoy the GP mate. I'm not going this year. Was the coolant weep just a loose clamp ???
