Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Oil change on the VFR today. I miss the ease of access on the SV. Loads of screw's and clips to remove one side of the fairing.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
We've just done an oil change on CMSD2's Tiger. Getting the sump guard off and on was proper fiddly. He's lucky his Debbie McGee style assistant has tiny hands.

Nothing fun, only adjusted the clutch cable on the SV. Made my London commute a bit easier

Managed to get a V8 Disco running (after being drowned in a big puddle - submerged!)
Lesson learnt today: when spraying some fuel into the air intake to entice it to start beware of backfire that can ignite said bottle in hand and create a few "exciting" moments! |

Over been trying to tune the TV to the winter hill transmitter rather than the Wrekin. Mixed success. Gained some channels and lost others.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Cleaned the oil strainer on the CBF125, the crankcase gasket came of about a mm at a time, took a few hours to remove all of the gasket, never ever had one that was such a pain before! I was lucky the gasket was bonded to the right hand engine casing because I would have cried if it was attached to the bike and I had to try and get it off that!

Andrewsmiths front forks. I passed Bibs the bits as he needed them and looked on in awe as the master performed the task.
