She's Off!

Post by Mav617 »

Waiting for her new owner to come and collect (long ride back to Hexham, he'll visit every petrol station on the way no doubt!) I'll be sticking around though fellas, you don't get rid of me that easily.

DischevelledAndy is taking a break half-way though and staying with friends tonight. So I'll not see the Teal beauty until tomorrow at the earliest. He's totally stoked and rabbiting on about all the wonderful things he's going to do with it. Another case of stormitis I think. I'll be warming up my spanners to assist...

Mav, remind me what the list should be.

CCTs is the only urgent thing I believe.

CCTs, I have thrown in a set of manuals I bought but never got round to fitting. New rear wavy disc to fit too. Beef up the front forks with different oil or get them rogered, maybe change rear shock.

Super, all easily done.

Unbeef forks with 7.5 weight oil and 140 or 135 airgap is better so they don't bottom out over bumps while braking.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I'm fairly sure you will.
