Cleaned, polished and chain oiled.
Then dropped it on its frame slider taking it off the paddock stand and not checking the stand was down.
No damage thank god

Yeah... Damn bugger has infected me with Kevlarhavetohaveyosis...
Foil boot didn't help either, he got me with a dose of carbonsproketcoverhavetohaveyosis
But it all started with Skrall's carbongearleverhavetohaveyosis...
At least, I'm feeling a little better now...
But the wallet is definitely suffering nearlyemptyosis

Rode it to a customer site on Friday, to deliver some data discs they needed "urgently".
Good excuse, that one. Have to use it again

Rode it while it was raining
An almost unheard of event!

must admit, keeping a naked bike clean is harder work

Moved it over in the garage so I could get my mates Ninja 636 in as well, bloody rain. He rather unsportingly threw it and himself down the road on Saturday whilst we were out for a spin around Rutland. The Feds wanted 140 to recover and 20 odd quid a day storage as he was being looked after by Peterboroughs finest medical peeps I got my uncle,van and a scaff board, jobs a winner and I'll only charge him half what the feds would have

Rode it in the rain for the first time, not very quickly either

Left it in the garage for the third day running

Played with my new chain rivetting tool
Split old chain (utterly f***ed), removed both sprockets (front one doing a passable impression of shark's teeth).
New output bearing oil seal, hopefully no more dribbling.
Shiny new chain & sprockets!
Lurvely

I haven't seen mine for 4 days
caution40 Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Posts: 525 Daytona 955i (04-06) 15 Jul 2010 08:10
Took it for a test ride. Thunder and deluge ensued, I was therefore compelled to clean the bike. Well, dry it anyway - the coating of hardened flies on the front seem to have gone now
~EARL~ gods country wales, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 82,254 Speed Triple 1050 15 Jul 2010 08:11
walked in garage looked at both of them, walked out shut the door

I washed mine yesterday as was going to see a mate who likes his bikes. Pished down on the way home

Tore the engine apart and now wondering if its cheaper to just buy another engine

the usual answer to that is "probably". You have a ton of gaskets to replace, plus whatever actually needs fixing, then you put it all back together and it may not even be fixed. Depends what's up and if it's a common fault that the new one would also have.

Turned the bars a little bit closer to me, after riding that MatBlack one I noticed it felt a bit more comfortable.
Sir TT Church of 3 Saints, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 37,096 Enthusiast 17 Jul 2010 10:59
Fitted new gearchange lever and footrests.
~EARL~ gods country wales, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 82,254 Speed Triple 1050 17 Jul 2010 17:00
downloaded a better co setting, and test fitted luggage to the bike
Sir TT Church of 3 Saints, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 37,096 Enthusiast 17 Jul 2010 20:15
Rode it, I actually rode the effing thing!

f!$% all, carbon sprocket cover is ready to fit though, but i have just washed the CBR6 for the first time
a_morti Portsmouth, United Kingdom Posts: 1,784 Daytona 955i (99-01) 19 Jul 2010 08:13
Rode to Bournemouth and back for a lovely trip to the beach. Found out the there is a very small window of where to hang panniers between the rear footrests (GF came with), (slightly higher) Quill pipe, and the indicators. Good thing they're rubber mounted. That non-slip mate helps a lot too.
39mpg. Reckon once I get the CO sorted it should be at or about 40mpg, I am just loathe to risk going too far lean and damaging it so it can stay a bit stinky of fuel il I can get it done properly.

You need shorter bolts
Kevn Surrey. ENGLAND, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 5,121 Sprint Sports 21 Jul 2010 22:17
I got shorter bolts, but there is a big f!$%off gap at the top, bout 1/2 inch , and at the bottom it nearly touchs the frame FFS, and it's genuine Triumph part
speed3racer Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 1,468 Sprint ST (02-04) 21 Jul 2010 22:18
Riggsy: Went to work on it......and then.........Came home again.
