Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Got the SR125 through the MOT for one of the kids. Next the other one, then the EN500, then the 750.....
expensive...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

How much it a mot then???

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

HAHAHA @ my friend. He was installing a performance upgrade on his carbs and this happened. All in the name of one nasty screw that wouldn't come out after trying for 2 hours all the normal conventional methods. Ended up having to destroy the plastic cap over the carb (whatever that part is called)

Stop laughing and buy/make your mate a better work bench. Bedroom furniture is not normally the most stable of surfaces to work on.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Still you cant help but look at that and think... '0_o WTF is going on here!'

You are right though work bench required for sure first time I have been there but for future visits will certainly help put something together a bit more practical :)

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Fitted my new HI mount exhaust to my K5 SV650 today. The bike is progressing well.

Love it.

£29.70 a time.

One bike needed dust seals, the other a new clutch master cylinder, the EN needs its fork seals doing, as does the 750. All mounts up as you know.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Yes looks like the bits to get it through were not so bad ,But when your doing multiples of bikes .....

Today I'm mostly on the Daytona as the Kawasaki threw the toys out the box ,Probably as it didn't get used in the sun yesterday
Charger on and look into whats happened tonight

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Removed tax disc holder and did the TPS Mod yesterday :)

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

i braved the cold, windy and damp to take my rear wheel off for the new tyre, got round to the garage and they were shut :-(

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

oh dear.

In other news, got some things for Bibio to tinker with

Washing machine. Parts list costs more than a new machine. Blast.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Spent a few hours today stripping the rear down and removing the 'snow shovel' and installing my Evotech Tail Tidy. Even removed the pillion footpegs and installed a exhaust hanger.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Fitted a new clutch push rod after it bent and snapped in 3 pieces. Easy as pulling it out and pushing a new one in. Can't wait to get back on her tomorrow

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Snapped chain by any chance?

Happened on a Thundercat I got from someone as a project, got one made for free in college.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Dusted down my old SP1 and took it for a spin.

Love it.

I had the pleasure of tinkering with this today

Re: Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Yep, replaced it and there was no power getting to the wheels so had a poke about and found the rod in pieces. Some one told me the clutch had gone, thank god it was just a £9 part from eBay

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Ok, what the hell is it :D

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

In tonight's college class, changing brake fluid. Still not taking my own bike, so worked on a couple of Ducatis.

Great phone that you cant buy off the shelf on the high street ( not quite gucci but you get my drift)

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

That looks pretty good for the money.
Wonder if they'll do a large format 5" version for people like me?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Checked, cleaned and greased the front callipers. All good so well pleased.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

:smt038 :thumleft:

now get the rear done ;)

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

Looks pretty cool & its not a fruit product :chef:

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.

Changed full exhaust on dads car after it snapped just before going in for retest after it only failed on a ball joint and a wheel baring.... Fixed those then on the way to test exhaust snapped... Typical

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.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

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

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
 

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.

Trying to get Tacx trainer software working on an old PC, needs more RAM :(

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!

Sorting out the garden for winter. Final mow. Oiled the decking. Picking up dropped fruit and leaves etc.

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