I rode it !

 

About 100 miles, into Clackmannanshire, Argyl, Perthshire and home to West Lothian. Even some bits of road were dry and I got a better feel for this nice bike. It's totally new to me and so far I've only ridden it on wet roads....)

 

The F650 alternator stator got a good exercise, as it turned dark i ran the high beam and brakelight together as much as possible. Will be interesting to see how it's coped when i open it up in a few months.

 

The water leak only appears in the first minute after starting, I think it's just before when the thermostat starts opening and the water pressure is high, but the coolant level is stable so it's not really an issue

 

Noticed the clunking of the worn suspension relay arm bush a couple of times when I went over blind crests. Took me a second to register that's all it was !
