Default Re: Just done something really Stupid...

Diary of a mechanical incompetant continues......

3 steps forward, 3 steps back

1) Airbox fitted - love working by torchlight. Don't know if it's OK or not - only time I got a chance to rev it out it felt like it wasn't getting enough fuel. Funnily enough this was because it wasn't getting enough fuel. I HATE that bl**dy switch. So need another stretch of private road where I can do at least 95 to see what happens.

2) Fork Springs/ spacers swapped. 20 quid well spent.


3) Unwelded nut glued back onto subframe - not sure it'll last though.

Which leaves the steps backward......

1) Small amount of play top to bottom in front wheel bearing. This would be the front wheel the garage replaced after the brake disc fiasco. Really is a tiny amount so it might be OK to leave till after trackday(??)

2) Steering head bearing bit loose again (I think anyway )

However it could be....

3) The play due to worn sliders on the RH Caliper - Quickish fix for this - swap it for the spare I picked up at the weekend - will need to bleed system again though (yawn)

4) No Idea where the original loom connection for the fuel pump is couldn't see it anywhere - will have to try looking for it in daylight Naturally a total pig to get at.

hmmmm

Would be so much easier to take the SV....
