What did you do to your bike today?

Just tried to start my bike and it's dead, it's only been left a week, what do I need to get it going again? It's a ktm duke 125.

So many times I had to push start that damn thing... ehh. Push start the quickest way, just don't fell over like one of my mates did. :D :p
 
I've got some amazing brake pressure on the rear brake now with the full replacement/brake flush bleed. Should get time to finish up front next Friday/Saturday so fingers crossed weathers okay to give that a quick go.

A bottle of ACF-50 is also due so I'll likely go OTT with it and remove all fairings and give them a wash and wax before spraying Lucy down and wrapping up for winter.
 
Had the Angel GTs on for a week and a little over 200 miles now, brilliant tyres they just grip and grip.
Massive improvement over the Battlax I had on there previously.

My nice clean bike managed to stay nice and clean for a grand total of less than 24 hours :(

Wrapping condoms around your wheels would be a massive improvement over Battlax, god awful tyres with zero feedback, & don't know how Bridgestone manage to get them fitted as oem tyres tbh.
 
^:D
So true, Hate is a strong word but I HATE the battleax tyres, most awful tyre I have ever ridden, they should be banned as OEM tyres.
 
I quite liked by battlea rear, it was really quite fun.. so much so I rode it to its bitter slippery end

im assuming they cost buttons, or have some crazy tax rebate to the oem "made from the recycled tyres of crashed motorcycles" or some crap :p


angels are brilliant
 
Most of the 20k miles that were on my bike when I got it were done by the last owner and the Battlaxs looked barely run in so I'm assuming they just threw some on as the cheap option if they knew they were getting rid of the bike soon.

They were pretty well worn down by the 6k I'd done on them, maybe would have gotten another 1.5k out of them which doesn't seem much considering my bike isn't exactly a high powered tyre eater.
