Re: carbon fuel tank vent cartridge
I haven't removed it myself but I can't see how it would cause a problem as there isn't a sensor connected to the carbon can. I think you could probably join the tubes to and from the can with a...

Re: The All New Megathread
Morning Gary. The weather seems to have decided it's mid-February again here: cold, raining and blustery. Good job I had a 50-mile spin on the bike yesterday.

Re: The All New Megathread
No real plans, Gary - just pottering around. Hopeful of a spin on the bike if the weather dries up at some point.

Re: Gsx-8R
Keep us posted how you get on with the Road 5s, I've got a newish Avon Spirit (the Storm's replacement) on the front of mine and a Storm 3D on the back with about 4,000 miles left in it.
I'm not...

Re: Caught a McLaren on my GSX yesterday
In spring last year I rode to Llyn Tegid at Bala, pulled into the lake car park and there were over a dozen McLarens parked up, must have been an owner's club meet or similar. Quite a sight.

An amazing look back...

Re: The All New Megathread
Morning Gary. No plans, and that's the way I like it it. Although I'd prefer it if the weather forecast was more promising.
As I'm a sad sort who makes a note of which days I've ridden on and...

Re: The All New Megathread
Beautifully bright and frosty here. A walk over Kerridge ridge beckons, but will wait for it to warm up a little first.
Arsenal vs the Toon tonight, and no fixed plans for Sunday.

Re: The All New Megathread
That's the problem at this time of year. Despite the fact that the run-off is only about 30 feet across, the bike still gets filthy :rolleyes:

It was 15 celsius here (Macclesfield) yesterday! Pity it wasn't dry as it would've been nice to have a bike ride.

Hope the knee's OK, Gary. Drizzly here and I'm seeing my consultant this afternoon, so I'm mostly staying indoors.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I've always argued myself out of heated grips / gloves because while I do ride in winter, I don't feel I ride often enough to merit the cost of them ... but if I did have them, I'd probably use them...

Just back from a walk over to Kerridge waterfall, which was very nice. A bite to eat then watching a bit of kicksport on the telly.

Brake fluid musings
I last changed the brake fluid on my 2017 Gen 3 (with ABS) in December 2021. Yesterday I thought I'd check the condition of the fluid out of curiosity. The moisture level was still below 1%, which...

Re: Pain!
Ooof. If it's still bad tomorrow, some ibuprofen with codeine (Nurofen Plus) or Paramol should help. In the meantime, a large nightcap!
