Well, does no one do anything to their bikes?!?!?!?
Been on a bit of a cleaning mission today, which has cheered me up! However I do need to get the MOT booked so I can get out and ride it (like I stole it)!
Yep sure we all do a bit here and there ...... needed 2 new tyres for the MOT on the 400, noticed one of the wheel bearings had a bit of drag on it, so replaced them, looked at the bike on the lift and thought might as well drop the fork oil, looked a bit silvery on the final drain, so ordered up some new bushes and seals, waiting for them, thought it would make sense to drop the stem and check the bearings, all good, cleaned and repacked with grease, still waiting for bushes to arrive, so itchy spanner’s, had the air box off and plugs out, now plugs and filters on order, these V4s can be a PITA to work on the front pots, so coolant out and top rad off to get at the front plugs, bushes arrived, forks rebushed and rebuilt.
Just awaiting plugs to arrive Monday and all ready to bolt back together again, will take advantage of half the bike being in bits to get to the carb vacuum screws and balance the carbs, then finally will be able to put the wheels back on with some new shiny BT090s ready for the MOT.
Not sure how I ended up doing all that, when all I wanted was 2 new tyres
