Did your chain eat it?

Also refitted everything, bled the brakes and checked everything ready for its MOT.

Tm, if you go back to chain lube then try out Dry chain lube and avoid all that 'splatter' on the rear wheel.

Can of Dry lube and a can of Brake.chain cleanner offer here at the Moment £12.99.

spent most of the day doing it.

What was a 5 minute job to swap the rad cowl back turned into a 3 hour major strip down to replace the wiring as the little connector in the indicator broke :angry::angry::angry::angry:

I'll never complain about stripping a 955 again.

Under the tank is the ECU and the fuses and relays which need to be detached and then you have to dismantle the airbox to get at the intake trumpets before you can remove it 30

Daytona Super III


icon11 Apr 2011 21:50
Stripped and cleaned the front brakes on the Super III saturday. Still dragging though. Rode it to Fokkers, got a stiff neck from the trapped nerve I have.
Wish I had taken the Tiger.

Of which I modified a standard noise maker, sorry, screen.

What was the total cost after and what condition were they in when returned? Just fresh oil and service or new springs as well?

Long story Exup... I think they think they pished me around a little...
But in short I think they forgot to send them out as they took a while, had to chase a little, so they plumped a bit of discount (£50)... result!

But normally £85 each end (and a tenner postage, all plus VAT) for a service, seals and oil.

They were in exactly the same condition upon return, they weren't that dirty when they went. Well packed for the return journey:thumbup:

I'll report further when I've ridden them, but after speaking to some people, there's alot of trust for these guys' work... this weekend will tell.... I'll do a separate review post...

Looked at the frickin' stuck front sprocket nut and rear sprocket hub nut ... cursed self for not having an impact wrench.

Messed around with the fricking rear hub nut and scrounged around for something to prise up the punched down locking collar.

Discovered the cheap nasty chinese screwdrivers (sacrificed for the cause) really are made of cheese.
