Pulled them all out...TBH 2 stayed put...
Dug out Nue Red, put a battery on it, put some fuel in it, put a few psi in both tyres, cranked it over & it's out of it's winter hibernation !
Due an MOT so will give it a going over tomorrow, might even take it for a spin if the fekin rain holds off...

Made some suspension adjustments but weather wasn’t looking great so not had a chance to see if it’s improved hopefully some nice days next week to get out.

It'll be interesting to hear what you think of themyellabell wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 8:04 pm Fitted Denso stick coils, supplied as a kit by Matt Bikes on the FB forum - dunno if it'll improve 'owt, there was nowt wrong with the ignition & it ran sweet before doing the mod but for that price I thought I'd replace the 25 year old coils. Nowt to it, piece of cake.
Are these coils brand new or pre-loved lol (used)

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Hi Chris, not sure tbh. They look brand new. The wiring and waterproof block connectors are new, direct straight fit to the vtr loom. It's a nice kit, very simple no messing. They're modified cbr1000 coils and come with the ridges smoothed off where the rubber boot slides on. The fella's done a lovely job, even down to the fitting instructions & colour photo's.

Hi Mick, Even if they not brand new, they will most likely be newer than our Storm onesyellabell wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 9:24 pm Hi Chris, not sure tbh. They look brand new.

It's nice to have a plug and play though

Nue Red went for his annual prodding & pulling by a strange man, who then wanted £29 for the privilege of fondling one of my babies...
Passed no advisories. 2515miles this past year... 2 trips to Devon & one to Wales...Put to bed for 6 months over winter. Must try harder.
Or not use The Murvinator or Rothburg... Hahahaha

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Set off to Gatwick on the KTM, flew to Sardinia in my leathers and got onto a Ducati MultiStrade V2…. it should have been the V4, but it has been crashed
Have to say it felt a bit flat compared to Ktm but them I found out the throttle progression was set to medium, tomorrow i will test it set to fast progression.
But at least it is sunny and there is local beer

A shame about the V4, but it will be good on the V2 once changed out of the medium setting
