Did nothing to my bike today. wiped it all over with spray wax, thats all. Return trip to work is 40k, took the long way, 80. Next job is chain lube, re oil KN filter, Riding nice so no other adjustments needed. If its not broken, dont mess with it.

Mine's gone in for new fork seals. Unfortunately I'm not as mechanically aptituded as a lot of you guys. Got to wait for the bill now. Off to Austria via France and Germany later in the year so has to be right!

Hope they are fitting genuine, pattern ones never last in my experience.

Yes they are As I'm 14less I decided to tinker with my old Bandit, not a euphemism, and discovered a nail in the back tyre. There's always something So I went to the fridge and had a beer

Well thanks to the excellent guides on this website I have replaced the 19 year old vacuum pipes and adjusted the TPS and STP back within speck. The bike was hesitant in the low revs and this seems to have fixed the issue. Going out in a bit for a good ride and will see if it has definitely solved the issue

Mounted a 43T rear sprocket and a big ass exhaust. Dutch gouverment has started a campagne against load pipes, huge fines and even sometimes loss of registration papers. Do miss the nice sound though

@BbigMmac bike still looks great with that exhaust. Does the clamp down on load exhausts also include people visiting your country.

@paulr5604 didn't bother us when we were over at Easter a couple of weeks ago.
Just don't go mad in the town's and all will be fine .

Thanks for the compliment Paul. It's mostly like what Seth mentions, if you drive normally then there is not a big issue but they often check bikes in the weekend, around events or near populair places and along the coast. Other exhaust was kind of loud so didn't want to take any chances.

Beautiful detail on yor bike Mate, perfect condition. Sprocket looks good, bet it accelerates now. I was thinking going other way next chain change, 19 on front.

My mums family is Dutch and I plan on doing a trip to Holland at some point. Plenty of happy memories of holidays in Holland as a child

[BbigMmac]

Plenty nice things to see if the weather is good. Unfortunately lots of speed restrictions, places where you are not allowed to overtake en some beautifull roads that are shut down for motorcycles in the weekend. Fuel is extreme over here also.....€2.12 per liter.

Thanks for the compliment. Yes accelerates nicely, even beter in the higher revs. Front wheel gets a little lite in first and second. Why 19 in the front?
