Took the front callipers off and greased up the pistons. Took the front master cylinder off and gave up when I couldn't figure out how to strip it down. Fitted new exhaust (scorpion). Mmmm, sounds lovely.

Animal Mother: Took the front callipers off and greased up the pistons.
So did I! Also did the brake lever mod, filing down the lever at the brake light end. It was the pistons in the calipers that were crudded up that I believe caused my brake lever to become spongy, especially as only one piston per caliper was moving....

First ride on new S3 over snake pass, what a revelation, its quicker and handles better than my old tonna and I still av'nt been over 6k rev's yet (still running in). Got rid of chicken lines allready, had to do a track day on tona to do that. No aches and pains after two hours in the saddle either. Think Im in love .

Hi Dale! I finished running my in 2 days ago, will take her for service on Saturday. Look forward to take her to 8k revs, it's nice when the pipes' sound opens up! What are those chicken lines you are talking about?
TR Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 1,248 Speed Triple 1050 15 Mar 2011 13:35
Peppe, Dale is talking about the strips of un-used tyre on either edge of the tread. The more you lean your bike over, the narrower they'll be TR

Peppe: What are those chicken lines you are talking about?
I would suggest that if you've never heard of this term that you do not try and scrub yours off in an attempt to try an impress/keep up with Dale, your obviously a newby and I would hate for it to all go horribly wrong.

ahh I see, so he probably doesn't need to know what happens whhen SP meets the donkey either then

Hi TR, thanks for the explanation. I'll ask for it to be added in the OED under "chicken"!

Why would I want to impress Dale? he's not a chick and I am not 17, I discovered long ago that doing wheelies etc don't work with girls triple queen aka tq: Andy...Peppe is Italian prolly dont get the slang
he didnt get "talk the hind legs of a donkey"
Thanks TQ for explaning I still have a lot to learn but it's always funny. Did you know for instance that the Italian word "sgommata" has 2 meanings, just like the word "skidmark" in English

Was that running with the baffle in or out. If wasn't thhen I'd take it out and repeat and when the nosey fcuker comes round again just say "now thats loud"

You're asking the wrong ones. My last gf said wheelies "make her cream her pants". It seemed rude not to oblige at any available opportunity.

I'm teetering on the verge of ordering a set of Gilles myself. I prefer them to the Arrows and they're (to me at least) a lot cheaper. Although powdercoating the stock ones black would be a lot cheaper still, lol..

Blizzard: The Arrows work out cheaper for me, as does the rear brake reservoir
I've already got the anodised reservoirs on. For me the Gilles at trade discount are a lot cheaper than the Arrows, with them being only available from Triumph. I think the Gilles are nicer anyway.
