Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Did a general inspection yesterday, which I like to do ahead of winter when I'm riding less: checked the plug gaps (all still within spec 11,000 miles after fitting), hoovered the air-filter and cleaned the breather sponge, lubed the throttle and STV linkages, cleaned battery terminals, cleaned the brake calipers of dust and crud.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Got new tyres for the GSX (Mich Road 5) and found a general tyre dealer in Louth (12 miles away) who sold them £50 cheaper than local bike dealer. They said they'd fit them between 12 and 5 pm, I showed up at 12:15 and they were waiting for me.
For whatever reason it is much easier to change remove/refit wheels on the GSX compared to the SV. I also noticed a crack in my Powerbronze hugger in the same place that someone on the reddit/GSX forum had. I emailed PB to give them a heads up that they might have a design issue, they responded that I was only the second complaint they'd received, asked for photos and then (without being asked) decided to send me a replacement. Not a bad day.
