What did you do to your bike today ??

Post by **Kwacky** » 22 May 2015, 11:06

Ordered some Bendix MF brake pads for the SX. I want a little more bite from the front brakes. The OEM are fine, I'm simply changing for personal reasons. That said the bike has over 6,000 miles on it now so they will need changing soon enough.

Just got it inspected, which is our "equivalent" of your MOT. I use quotation marks because I get the impression from a UK ex-pat friend over here in North Carolina that MOT is much more detailed than our inspection.

I don't know why Mac but I always had the impression you where an ex-pat... Obviously not!

Put my Akrapovic exhaust back on... to which my Power Commander is set up to... and the majority of my running issues have gone and the bike sounds sooooo good! Sorry neighbours... !

Currently doing some little jobs on the zx6r

Replacing the carbon chain guard for a metal one, swapping the rear hugger, putting on the carbon swingarm covers, giving the rear of the bike a bit of TLC with some ACF50 and a general clean.

The more I do the more I find to do.

Ordered a load of stainless steel screws and bolts for the zx6r. Also ordered a new side stand as the current one has seen better days.

Not today but yesterday gave the chain a good layer of chain wax after the high mileage Wales trip we did!

Nice work Rossgo. How long until you take a test?

Post by **Rossgo** » 24 May 2015, 17:38

Unsure yet Kwacky, we were disscusing carrying on training so I could aim for a First pass score. But I am at a test level now just need a cross check really!

Post by **Tricky** » 24 May 2015, 17:56

finally got one of the two zxr400 race bikes running, just need a big stick to beat the other one with now.

Great work Rossgo. Personally I would carry on and get additional training if its available and assume at no extra cost.

Post by **Rossgo** » 24 May 2015, 21:29

That's right Blade. My observer is great, think he likes the rides too so it's a win win!!

Nice one Rossgo, milk him (not literally

) for all the training and advice you can get. You can then teach me when we're next in Wales

Post by **Rossgo** » 25 May 2015, 14:36

Definitely taking as much knowledge and training as poss however the idea of teaching you it is near on impossible........

I can't keep up hahaha!!

Post by **Kwacky** » 25 May 2015, 14:44

You'll find once the new information and knowledge becomes second nature that your speed will increase as you're no longer actively thinking about what you've been taught.

Post by **Rossgo** » 25 May 2015, 14:51

Too true Kwacky have heard this a lot. I must admit I feel my road presence had dramatically improved since last year.

Good to hear Rossgo and glad the training is working out.
