Rear brake lever went spongy, excess lever travel meant an MOT fail, they cud only bleed one side of the caliper but it was enuf to get it a pass. Rode the nuts off of it home, had forgotten how eggsiting a boike it is to ride.

Changed the fork oil today. Â To my eternal shame I'm not sure it had ever been done - it was decidedly vinegary. Â Feels a bit better now.

Got out on the 9er for the first time in weeks. I've been working on 2 bikes for my wife, an electric scooter and a 50cc moped , because she's lost her parking space at work...... anyhow that little moped goes well with the new 110cc engine in it. Been having lot of fun while I've run it in.
Â
Then i jumped on the 9er today and was reminded what comfortable speed was all about
<p style="text-align:center;">Ohlins, PC3, fuel cut defeat, +4deg timing, 17" front wheel.
