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.

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.

Replaced the bio chainsaw oil in my Scottoiler with some of the proper, green, bio Scottoil. Hopefully it won't create the sort of black coating on the sprocket that the chainsaw oil caused.
