What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

I did the final bits of a full service, having already road-tested the valve job rebuild.

I made a few comments on the Valve Check and Coolant Pipe O ring threads.

I've used stainless where possible including new clamps for the exhaust. I made a tool to fit my torque wrench to the steering ring nut using a spanner designed for a pedal cycle old-style bottom bracket.

The brakes after a full clean, all fluid and front pad change feel terrific, not that they were at all poor before.

The throttles did not need rebalancing despite shim changes.

The chain only needed tightening by five flats after a full year (thank you, Scottoiler) plus a minor tweek on the RHS to align the wheel. I use a pair of skip-dived old fluorescent tubes to do the alignment.

So, all ready for the new season - bring it on.
