Just got in, had a cracking ride today, cheers Rob.
Had an ice cream at Rutland but unfortunately there was a accident on the road to melton and the road was closed so never got to melton but it was after the nice windy bit so we got to do that twice
Lovely sunny day and after tweaking my suspension settings yesterday am very happy with the changes.
Used to think it was my tyres not inspiring confidence but it was a combination or too stiff compression and too slow rebound. All sorted now whoop whoop.

Lucky mofo I was going to gice my brake a quick going over then text you to see if you wanted to head out.

The quick going over turned into a nightmare when I popped one of the pistons out of the caliper though lol... cant believe how simple brake systems are though now I have had the bike completely in bits.

Ha!! You are a douche. Yeah its amazing when you take the brakes apart it is just a hydraulic pump, simples.....still managed to **** it up though didn't you? Did you think the piston would be retained somehow?

Is it all sorted now?

Yeah, I didnt think the piston would pop out if I kept pump, thought it would be held in somehow, brake fluid every where and me ****ting it.

Piston slipped straight back in but then had to get fresh fluid, bleed them etc and clean the brake fluid from everywhere so it didnt contaminate the pads/calipers.

Its all back together and bled, the pads were not glazed but I gave them some 120grit wet and dry anyway.

The virbation is still there though

I am going to mess with the suspension tomorrow, reduce the the preload a bit and increase the compression damping and see if that has any effect as the forks probably dive to fast and dont use the full fork.

It annoying not being able to sus out what the problem is.

So, tomorrow. Me and Rob are heading to Midlands Superbikes should anyone wish to join in on the action, provisional route is:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...047&z=15&via=1

Chances are the route we take will look nothing like that because I am the king of getting lost. If anyone wants to come then say where you want to meet and it shall be done
