Emptied the oil and water.
Need to remove the crankcase cover to check the water pump seal. It can wait until tomorrow.

Ragged it around some back roads
Note to self, don't go chasing an F type when it's raining and you're on tyres that don't like the rain. If you want to look like Marquez, get a tan and learn spanish

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I fitted a USB power socket near the ignition barrel as the factory 12V socket is a bit fussy, every plug or adapter that I have tried looses connection within a mile, and the Garmin does not switch to internal battery without tapping the screen so usually I miss the countdown and it turns off (useful).
Now it has a much better connection running from the same switched and fused power wiring.
Then it needed a test ride, a quick trip round the block took 4 hours

Washed it.
Lubed up the chain.
Realised that the white chain wax renders the gold chain redundant.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Pulled away from home, started off on the usual route through the local roads. Come up to a T junction to turn right.
There are a row of houses opposite me.
I clock movement in one of the windows, which I don't think much of until I realise it's a naked lady in her bathroom, stood facing towards the road behind the frosted glass
That cheered me up.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
left it in the gagage, after 300 miles yesterday on the ninja I'm walking a bit like John Wayne today.....She has got to go, my first long ride on it since my off, my hand really started to cramp up after an hour or so, back to naked bike for me
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

I can't ride the ninja for more than 10 miles on the motorway without beginning to feel the joys of chronic pain

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Got undertaken on an A road while I was doing about 75mph. He must have been doing over a ton.
It was a bloke on a 2016 z1000sx. Those guys are dicks
Nice bike though, it's the limited edition anniversary bike.

I've put static cameras up on the opposite ride of the road.
