Re: It's Mike Yeadon's fault
Well the dinosaur has gone to the menders for some TLC including wheel removal and powder coating, some bits taken off for painting and a good service/setting up, new tyre and brake repipe/calipers strip etc. (Tokiko 6 potters).
Why? Cos it's bl00dy cold in my garage, and I don't like doing (any, but especially mucky) jobs when it's very cold. So there.
Pics to follow.

Alan,
Very wise. I've not done more than change oil/filter, air filter, brake / clutch fluid. Plus add minor bling. Tyres its a dealer job, too blinking heavy! I don't think you can *wear them out. Same reason!
I look forward to seeing your brightened up 10 yarder.
Oh, and those 550 pots, you barsteward. I was interested in them too! beaten by a canny chap from Tightshire. As usual.
Mike
* I meant the GSX1400. It wears tyres out just by looking at them, the rears, anyway. I heard tell of some heavy-wristed owners wearing out a rear in under 3000 miles. While I can believe that, I'm surprised they survived riding like that!

Well the Dinosaur is at the menders having some bits sorted. New brake hoses, wheels and front 'guard prettied up, new back tyre and chain/sprockets and some bits polished. Good check round and new filters/oil/plugs.
Should be home later this week for the blingification to commence - after it's been remantled of course.

All taxed and running again with a new front tyre, wheels powder coated metallic silver, chain, sprockets, pads, brake hoses, plugs, oil. Must get some pics. It's still bl00dy quick and unsurprisingly, handles much better with the new tyres.
Bad bit - the tank takes a lot of petrol when it's filled from nearly empty!

Mine was as close to toppling over as I ever want it to be the other day! I’ll swear I turned green at one point

Re: It's Mike Yeadon's fault
Alan,
Here's the bike that led you down this dalliance with a "sofa with a rocket up its backside" bike!
Didn't go out yesterday, but rode two of the bikes round the garden for a bit!
Main reason was to get proper access to the Kettle.
Cheers,
Mike
