It was my turn to play spin the rotor buttons today as my brakes have been acting up lately.....

The good news is I found one that was a bit sticky, so I hope that was the issue....
The bad news......the cbr1000rr rotors that I use have 10 buttons each...... :crazy:

Also lowered my fork fluid 20cc per side due to my ride height change.

So I guess I have to go for a ride tomorrow as she felt real good around the neighborhood....... :D

Well... A week's time for a shop to start working on that, is a short time compared to what I'd expect... I'd say around here, I'd be happy if I found a shop that could promise me to start on it in a months time...

Not so much done anything, but looking around the internet for a spark plug socket, side stand (one that's not bent) and gaskets for the MCCT's. :Beer Popcorn:

Use instant gasket mate. You can use it as threadlock as well.

New rear BT023 fitted at Universal Tyres, Colchester. Thankfully they have an Abba stand with all the adaptors, so ride in at 8.00am with some tools, whip the wheel out and back on the road in a jiffy.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Are they doing that while you wait or are you having to leave it there.
