Is it cheeky to ask how much ?duke63 wrote:Paid for a third years warranty on the Multi.
Is it needed surely a manufacturing fault would have come to light in 2 years ?

£250, Blade.
Its piece of mind for me. The Aprilia saga still gives me nightmares.
There is a lot of expensive stuff on that bike and the cover is a full manufacturers warranty as per a new bike. Just one fault and its paid for itself.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Sorry not been around much lately guys, silly busy, long story very short, my bike didn't sell but that's fine I just decided I'm Gunna do it up a bit so today I ordered new fairings, fairing bolts and started looking around for somewhere to have my wheels powder coated and calipers refreshed, this winter the bike is getting a full overhaul
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Went out for an early ride to miss the rain that was coming, desperate to scrub the tyre in.
Pushed my luck!
Got caught in a couple of downpours
roads not really dry, (damp mainly) so useless exercise trying to scrub tyres in.
Gave the bike a good wash and polish.

I wouldn't worry too much about scrubbing M7's in using the traditional rules, they don't seem to apply. The first rides I had with both the M5's and M7's where in the wet and they didn't seem to care.

Washed and polished the Multi today and then put it away. I doubt i will use it again this year with all the work and stuff i have to do.
The 748 is now on the Abba stand ready for a few changes to its geometry.

You put some fuel stabiliser in Duke ?
This is what I use and would recommend it.

Wasn't too cold for me but it's only a 15 minute commute at no faster than 40mph, it was bumper to bumper for 90% of the time I'd struggle to do it in an hour in the car
I get knocked down but i get up again.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
There was a problem on the Aston Expressway this morning, so that wouldn't have helped
I flew home tonight. Took about 45 mins instead of 60. My timing was spot on as there was a crash on the M6 and I got there shortly after it happened before the traffic backed up.
