Noob attempts full B&C system flush [hilarity ensues]

@SA14 as hooli says warm the engine first as this will pick up any rubbish and also warm oil is thinner so will drain more efficiently.

Thanks, all done now. Waiting for the weather to clear before heading out for a test ride and more practice.

Went out for a test ride this arvo. Started, stopped and clutched just fine. Did some super emergency stops from 60km/h in my side street and around the block first though and the brakes seem nice and firm. I know it's just a small thing but I'm a bit chuffed. Gave her a bit of a squirt too (if you can call 4,500 in 2nd gear a squirt...lol) and oh my lord! Yep, I own the correct bike. That's for freaking sure.

The End

 Baz, you'll also find she is very willing in 3rd, take 2nd to around 5thou, change up & give her a big handful (n hang on!) That'll definitely give you a grin, (maybe with soiled trousers as well), but you'll get a good idea of what she can be like.
She is also very happy just riding calm & sedate, definitely 2 sides to this bike.

Glad you've got it sorted & are now happy with it.  There's just the time in the seat now to grow confidence, but it will come.

Good job Mate. A good long ride, reset idle to 1100, then reset TPS. Then just ride.

You all helped a lot. I've just ordered the Gear indicator with timing retard delete from Healtech and will be doing the PAIRS delete next. Might order the Perth kit. Waiting for the weather to fine up again.
