Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

[KiwiCol]

Oh, mine was called ? Ezy Drain or something, didn't look like that, was a bit longer & had a wee handle n stuff.

[Sweaty]

Makes oil changes a breeze & does not hang to low. (In my opinion:)

Sweaty, both products i use and like. Pipes just sparkle and Fumoto is easy. Agree, not too low for me.

Today, a quick checkover. Cleaned out external fuel filter, filled up tank and added Wynns cleaner. checked chain adjustment, cheap EK O ring to wear out sprockets, now 15 th ks, no adjust needed ever. adjusted headlight, had it out for a clean , wipe over with Bowdens Fully Slick. Job done. Rode home perfectly.  Amazing bike.

Tonight I cleaned up 1 caliper, (do the other in a day or 2) in preparation for the new lines. Put some nice shiny SS bolts in the caliper & cleaned up the OEM mounting bolts.  You're starting to get it bad when you begin polishing the head of a bolt!  Anyway, a couple of pics of tonights work.  The hose is just sitting in the clean caliper to stop stuff getting in there.

The polished OEM bolts



The cleaned up caliper(Not to Del Std)



The new SS bolts



And fitted up back on the bike, torque 16 21 & 25.



Come out looking good I reckon, for a no paint job.




  Now, where are those new lines?

Looks like I've killed another battery.

Didn't use the 14 much at the start of the year, then had a while off bikes due to my health, then I got the H2 and wanted to use it more.

Battery is a year or 2 old but it was a budget "Supercheap Autos" one.

Partly my own fault, I've been to lazy or busy to use a trickle charger or ride the bike and the recent cool weather seems to have been the nail in the coffin.

Might grab another in the week.

Tony, HVT 8 from Superstart seems to work well. Prices vary, 125 is a fair cost. Mine tests over 350 cca after 12 mths. As for lasting, dont know yet.

Sounds good. A quick google only shows stores on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast though.

Will see if I can find an SSB dealer locally.

LSL X01 handlebar installed.

This is my second "fatbar" previous was Renthal 605, which was uncomfortable to me - to far away and to wide.
Renthal ultra low was perfect ergonomic, but it seemed to me very thin on our quite massive bike, so I start searching for 28mm replacement.
Actually, LSL XN1 is almost identical bend of ultra low but I decide to go 10mm higher option. At the moment, I'm not 100% sure I made best desigion choosing X01 instead of XN1. So fare only ~10km are ridden with this handlebar, but in my opinion it's much better then Rental 605

I have s very similar aftermarket bar plus riser on mine, still have the original bars in the shed, doubt I'll ever go back to standard, the lower and wider bars make steering so much better and look great. Onlt hassle is the access to front compression dampers  on the top are harder to get to.
