  • Security 2

    I looked into getting thacham approved alarm, but really pricey, so I got a xena XN14 disc lock which has an alarm. I done some differnces with insurance with and without alarm and there wasn't much difference so not needed I think.

  • Jobs done

    Well, done the indicator relay and fitted the new bulbs, also got Xena XN14 disk lock, but the bolt in the forks is going to be a pain i'm taking it to my mate next tuesday who has another mate who is going to look at it, so fingers crossed.
    Took her up to about a ton on Monday there was a little vibration, which wasn't there before, but I have been messing with the chain tension and it was a bit tight when I got back so maybe it was that.
    The torque setting on the back axle is 110 but I not convinced that this is enough.

  • Clothing

    The last time I had a bike was in 1994 and it was a zxr400 nice bike brand new, but that was when I was living at home and had money burning a hole in my pocket. So my old helmet (Arai GIGA), boots, and gloves still all fitted me great, but gone are the days when I used to burn around at 140mph just wearing a t-shirt, jeans and trainers(I must have been mad). So I brought myself some Joe Rocket trousers and jacket from Actionmotorcycles in Redditch with armor etc built in very cool. Cost me £99 for the trousers and £119 for the jacket.

  • Security

    While my bike is garaged, locked and datataged I still think I need some added protection. I have a Doberman I could chain to it but a bit unfair on the dog, so I have just ordered a Xena XN14
    http://www.xenasecurity.co.uk/product/motorbikes/XN14/eng/
    Cost me £47 off ebay normal price £60 I'm not sure whether I will put a fully fledged alarm on yet, but this my change.

  • First problems I found, work to be done.

    1)Chain loose
    2)Park light front
    3)indicator relay
    4)Forks

    1)First the chain was bloody loose, but I needed torque wrench. I brought one from www.buckandryan.co.uk (TENG 1292AG-EP TORQUE WRENCH 40-210NM 1/2 INCH DRIVE)and I needed a new split pin 80p from local shop Chasmans.
    2)Brought a set off ebay
    1 PAIR OF BOSCH COLBALT BLUE H4 & 501 BULBS
    PART NUMBER 9181510472
    Not arrived yet :(
    3)Ordered 1 from http://www.wemoto.com/ cost about £8 still waiting for delivery should get here on the 10th tommorrow with the bulbs hopfully:>
    4)The clamp on the bottom of the left fork bottom has one of the bolts broken off inside. This is going to be a pig. Brought colbolt drill 3mm £4 some titanium drills £15 but wounld'nt touch it. I think I need the fork off so I can get more pressure on the drill. First I'm asking around for quotes to service them as well as getting the bolt out and also keeping my eye on ebay for forks but none about at the moment
