A 120km test ride after assembling the exhaust. Can no longer hear the engine ð
With new clutch, c/s, tyres, footpeg rubbers, new fork oil (and attached damping rodsð¶) and everything polished bike feels better than ever spite of 115' kms on the clockð

swapped tha Avon Storms for Battlax T31s and balanced them both. 5g front 20g rear.
fitted 90 degree tyre valves
oiled the compressor
changed rear sprocket for 39T and took 2 links out of the chain.
rivet link done.â¸
all clutch springs changed to HDuty
adjusted clutch
cleaned ABS sensors

90 degree valves, so much better so next tyre change, Al would be interested to hear how the HD clutch springs are as i'm sitting on the fence between reg or HD..or have you got hands like shovelsÂ

I have 36GG hands Cliff but I'm not sure that's an official glove size.........
Â
A new clutch cable has significantly lightened the amount of pull required - not drybollix light but good enough for my 9er wrists.
Â
I'll report after some town work.

Yep busy IanÂ
Â
Rear Avon tyre was about the same thickness as Mates.
Â
Front T31 has a much stiffer sidewall than the front Storm.

Why am I not surprised. Cheers for the info. :good:

Wired up my topbox light connector with a proper waterproof joint, so if I ever need Givi M3 plate off it will be easy.
Gave it the final clean , topped up Scottoiler ready for Cumbria.

Took the step-grandson for a ride in the light rain. He's 15 and into getting a 125cc and a license.... maybe there will be a renovation project for me soon? ð
Anyhow, the Mk1 with a pillion is really comfy as the rear Nitro is a tad bit racey for one-up. New PRs on provide to me unprecedented confidence on wet roads. Of course rain means less lean, but gone is the old anxiety....

Quote::good:Â aren't today's tyres great when compared to Speedmasters and suchYes, unbelievably improvement. I used to be nervous in rain, but think my body has understood that these tyres stick like it was dry... but of course, still afraid of spilled diesel or farmers dragging mud onto the tarmac ð±
...old tyres, otoh, are still no good, no matter how well designed....

You're right - I think I'd suggest Yam or Honda if the project is on. And - preferrably an older bike for learning and first failures...plastic and paint is expensiveÂ
