Edd Chyna would be proud!

Currently painting my Motorbike trailer. Laying down a Hammerite base on the runway and will be going over it with some Anti-Slip paint to make it easier/safer to load the bike in damp conditions. Then checking the bearings over and seeing if they need replacing, or are good to go for another year.

Cleaned out the rear caliper and started getting the DRZ back together. I need it to get to work tomorrow. It's now started pi$$ing it down outside. I'm mid coolant refresh and all panels are still off. Dammit.


Satisfying to see it going back together knowing the back end of the bike is all fresh bearings, cleaned, greased and working well. Frustrating having these little bits of time between work days and not getting a satisfying chunk of time or decent weather to finish it. I need to move onto the front end next too. Going to ride it for a bit first though if / when I get it back together.

Adam, you need to build yourself a man shed. Sod working outside all the time.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

I've got a garage. It's too full of all the bikes you guys keep making me buy :D



(I do actually have ideas / plans for a workshop space, definitely needed before next winter... I won't take on a winter project again without one)

Actually got the DRZ back together at 1am last night so I could get to work today. It starts and runs but is very erratic. Feels like there's a vibration like it's stopping and starting a few times a second. It cuts out when coming to a stop and idling once warmed up too. Possibly a carb issue? It wasn't doing it before I had everything apart.

We recognise the fact you like to change your bikes, you don't need to go through this elaborate ruse of "maintenance" :D

Fuel supply, sticky float?

If you ever want your bike refurbished, sell it to Adam and then buy it back from him a few months later [emoji1787]

Adam gets the "joy" of tinkering in the rain and snow and you get a fully fettled bike. It's a win/win [emoji3060]

Seriously, I'm impressed with the level of work you do to these bikes. If it was me; that DRZ would have been under a tarpaulin for years before selling for scrap.

That's the area I'm thinking of. I need to pull the carb off again when I get time at the weekend. Back to cycling to work again for now.
