Even James Captain Slow can do it??????
Oh no, that would be May

Even PVs going to have a go!!!

Quote:It's deffo not as smooth and useable below 2000rpm as the mk1 though.  Nice to have a rear brake that actually works, although I think the fronts need bleeding, they weren't as sharp as the mk1 wans are. A bit of suspension twiddling and possibly some Renthal bars might be in order, a longer ride will help me decide there.Â
That's what I miss about the Mk1, the low rpm grunt pulling out of slow corners was fantastic. Sounds like the Mk1 needs the rear calipers cleaned up as they should be plenty powerful enough.

Finally got around to fitting my MRA racing screen. Added some bling Red allen screws and a reflective Yam sticker as well.

I have just noticed i have put the sticker upside down
 ............................pretty typical of me. :hide:What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - ProudViking - 04-12-2015
The red screen nuts are a good match to the bike's colour. Which bar risers are those Blue?

Yeah, obviously the previous owners never cleaned the rear calipers Chris.
 TBH none of the three 8fiddly's I've owned had a rear brake as sharp as the 9'er has.Â
Went for a pootle on the 9'er today. Bike performed faultlessly.Â
 Not so my noo lid that's giving a lot of wind noise in my left ear. 
 Think it's due to the sun visor mechanism being located on the left side.What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - Blue - 04-12-2015

They came with the bike PV. They are SW Motech versions. The guy said they were about £60! I think??? they were ranged from 02-09 - so maybe no good for your model?Â

Converted H3 aux lamps from crap H3 LED to T10 COB LED (double sided & what a difference).

Connected the flying lead for my new Keis heated jacket which I'm hoping will keep me toasty over winter. A quick test showed:
- It heats up quickly, :good:
- The maximum setting is so bloody hot as to be damned near unbelievable. You could toast bread on your back!Â
- It's too warm at the moment to need it, at the minimum setting I was sweating cobs within 10 miles.Â
I also added 50ml of Redex to the full tank of fuel on Friday. Then forgot all about it. Yesterday, on my way into work, I noticed it was running better, but didn't make the Redex connection until I got into work. So there's definitely an improvement when it's in the tank, hopefully it'll stay after the full course of treatment (50ml in each tankful for 5 refills is what I normally do, using all a 250ml bottle of Redex)

. But they do need to be kept clean to stop the pistons sticking. Assuming Pads & discs are OK (I'm sure they are Dave  ), whip the calipers off one at a time, give the pistons a good clean and then using a bit of wood to block off each pair of pistons in turn, check for sticking pistons. They're easy to free off and you'll really notice the difference. What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - ramotdm - 08-12-2015
Just for you Cliff (no one else can lookÂ
)Â

Actually it could be my fault.
I did clean the calipers, pistons, etc, but I could have put the pads back not in their original positions. I reckon a couple of hundred miles will see them bedded into the discs and normal service should be resumed

Forgot to mention, the mk1 has bluespots. I'll check the 9'er wans over, they might just need bleeding. TBH I haven't used them in anger as I'm still scrubbing in me noo tyre, but they don't seem as sharp on first braking.

EDIT: Cheers Dave, that sounds like what's happening.
