What did you do to your bike today?

Oops, well done for figuring it out though!

There was some horrendous driving on my commute this morning, people must have been popping retard pills this morning, not to mention another accident on the M3 and tialbacks for miles, mainly due to fracking rubber neckers!!

This was the worst though, turning right at the end of this road, watching the traffic left to see when I can go and see this car basically coming at me..! Pretty sure he knew I was there but he was still going to turn into a right hander in my left hand lane, with the polish population in this area its a bit like watching the mental eastern European youtube videos :D

Fitted my new Trail Tech Vector too my WR250F
Cleaned Carb out and adjusted Idle.

Started then stall out this morning and wouldnt start :( had to push it down a hill to get it to start then i ran like a bag of nails popping and spluttering etc. I think it was just dirt in the pilot jet circuit.
 
Couple of days ago she got cleaned, then passed the MOT with flying colors!
Then Sunday/Monday (today) went from Mirfield - Shevington and back ~120mile round trip, accept for weather today it was an enjoyable ride, especially the A58 between Rochdale and Bury. Now its filthy again! :D
 
Yesterday I gave it a good clean using a degreaser I got from someone who cleans bikes for a living and have to say the stuff worked brilliantly. My chain and sprockets were gleaming. I ran my finger down the chain with no residue coming off at all it was that clean.

Cyko Tar Remover if anyone is interested.

Hope it didnt remove the grease from the links and hope you re-lubed after. A dry chain isnt a happy one
 
I was thinking the same, personally would not use anything other than proper chain cleaner and then a good dose of chain lube after!

I had plans to do plenty on mine this weekend but fixing the girlfriends POS Megane meant all I actually got done was changing the front brake light switch... :( roll on next weekend!
 
Got round to fitting heated grips and tail tidy to my winter hack this week. Can't recommend the grips enough! No more stopping and wrapping my pinkies around the exhaust every 5 miles!

I'm toying with changing the std exhaust, but to be honest I think I'll leave it as it is, I'll only be changing it so it makes more noise and the neighbours will just think it's another chav on a stolen dirt bike (nice area) :rolleyes: :D
 
Went for a ride around my local area (northern Germany), good god it was cold. Good day though, did around 200Km, now I'm home just trying to increase my core body temperature!
 
Rode 200mile today on the zx6r and got soaked at either ends haha. Going 2mro to see if this grips will be swapped for another set cause my hands were froze off me. Oxford looks a good bit of kit! :D
