I haven't changed tyres myself since my first SV. That was my first bike with radial tyres and I struggled to break the bead.

Re: The All New Megathread

I did finally get out for an hour. Sun came out at 3pm only to disappear once I set off (and replaced by black clouds) about 20 minutes later. Managed to avoid any rain apart from one black cloud...

Re: The All New Megathread

Diary is fairly empty this week. Just a dental check up on Thursday, plus all the usual household chores.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

First test ride today. It worked fine and it's was interesting to note how the pressures vary as the tyres heat up. It shows the temp too. The downside is that the display isn't bright enough to cope...

Re: Front right caliper

They do look like a very generic caliper. They might even be the same on the DL650.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Good point about the paraffin. It's the first time I've used it on a motorcycle as the chain was covered in grit and grime due to the sticky nature of the grease on the chain put there by Honda. I...

Prepping the bike for a new riding season. Front and rear brakes removed to treat with anti corrosion measures. Red grease around the pistons to protect them. Bolts and pad retention pins covered...

Re: 25 years

I look forward to seeing the model. Is it standard kit or are you making it from scratch?

Re: Gearbox question

I've never had a gearbox or clutch issue in 50 years of riding. I've had problems with clutch cables and the actuator mechanism on my GT750 but that's it.

Re: The All New Megathread

Lovely here in Shrewsbury today also. Definitely spring like. I actually did some garden maintenance. Can't wait to tax the bike on March 1st, whereupon winter will return.
