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. http://www.brandedbiker.co.uk/product-de...

Fitted new female fuel connectors, re-fitted tand, front mudguard. Bled brakes front and back.
Adam Freeman Cornwall, United Kingdom Posts: 94 Enthusiast 11 Apr 2011 15:30

Blizz Saying goodbye to it, I take it. Shame, simple mods that made a hell of a difference.
Blizzard Coventry, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 51,831 Enthusiast 11 Apr 2011 21:37
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
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
Fretmeister Moaning about bikes, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 61,570 Daytona Super III 11 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.

Fitted new tax disc, pulled out of garage and leathered down ready for a cross country trip to Derby avoiding the A38!
Nick S Coffs Harbour, Australia Premier Member Posts: 399 Daytona 955i (02) 12 Apr 2011 08:44
Washed it, for the 1st time in God knows how long. Lubed the chain, checked all the lights, horn etc in preparation for it's safety check next week. Loaded a new tune to see what it's like (10181_Tune_Smooth_With_AF_Warren).
Daytona Rik South Yorks, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 555 Daytona 955i (99-01) 13 Apr 2011 14:16
Put in back in the garage until next week

What was the total cost after and what condition were they in when returned? Just fresh oil and service or new springs as well?
Blizzard Coventry, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 51,831 Enthusiast 14 Apr 2011 15:53
Gave it a final polish before taking to the dealer tomorrow

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 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.
Nick S Coffs Harbour, Australia Premier Member Posts: 399 Daytona 955i (02) 14 Apr 2011 21:51
Rode it to work, not far enough to tell if the new tune is any good but it feels OK around town
Sofa boy Surrey, United Kingdom Posts: 40 Enthusiast 16 Apr 2011 06:17
Fitted new speedo sensor and drive ring, gave the front wheel a good clean while it was off then scratched the wheel paint on the calipers when refitting. HO HUM.

Yesterday i got mine naked and gave it a good wash Today i looked at it, whilst dragging my girlfriend's SV650 out to use for work
Peppe Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Posts: 244 Speed Triple 1050 17 Apr 2011 20:10
Rode mine to the New Forest with some TT's folks, then went home to take the battery off. A bit impractical I would say, couldn't they just leave it under the seat?
Who The F I 8 smartarses, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 17,661 Daytona T595 17 Apr 2011 21:18
Rode the RS to Bury ST Edmunds and Back Local Triumph dealers RAT run
