Been out and spanked the 853. I took it out the other evening and it ran very hot but it appears to just have been the hot weather and nothing more.

Ran fine tonight.

Went out for the third evening run of the week, out at seven and back at about eleven thirty, I really must clean the bike at some point over the weekend, it's got one or two unfortunate flying things all over it. A good week for riding the bike for sure, not so good for working though.

Could have but i have been told by various people that these bikes run hot any way. I think the fact that in my opinion its not had a decent service except oil and filter changes. It has definitely done more miles than the clocks say i guessing 3-4 times. Its also been ridden in all weathers and not been protected or cleaned. I would not be spending the time or money if i did not like the bike. Looking back i should have just sold it on and got one in better condition. Looking forward to getting it back together though as it will hopefully go a bit better and handle better too.

Going though the cooling system at the moment. Some of it is ruff and getting replaced.
