New tyres fitted, replaced the GP arrow exhaust decals with some cleaner arrow ones. Then a bit of a clean and polish as I've decided to sell it. Be sorry to see it go but i'm just not using the thing.
What did you do to your bike today?

Took the KTM to a motocross track, truly awesome day jumping further and higher than I ever thought possible... scary day too!
Nice, if you've your original shock might be worth putting that back on and selling the ohlins separately. That way you'll get more money.New tyres fitted, replaced the GP arrow exhaust decals with some cleaner arrow ones. Then a bit of a clean and polish as I've decided to sell it.

Going to cancel the mot. Just rode the bike to end of garden and realised it's not sensing speed but everything else is fine(revs, lights and horn). Ffs
Whoops. Panic over. Seems me riding it 3-5 meters wasn't enough to pick up the speedo. Ran it out on our road and it was working fine.
I was honestly close to rage tears just then ha

Been told you don't need the speedo to work for MOT anyway

I've not got any crash protection on mine, it's worth less obviously but still probably should.

Ever since I've bought my bike, always had a very light weep now and again from the front master cylinder reservoir. When the handle bars are turned in the steering lock position, the fluid in the reservoir gathers in one spot and leaks past the rubber diaphram. Under inspection, looks like the diaphram is slightly mishaped so not doing a full seal.
Triumph doesn't sell the diaphram separately, what are my options?

If the master cylinder res is a normal size, a universal one would fit not a problem.
Awesome.
Yeah I'm chuffed. Entire MOT bill came to £40 as I had to pay a tenner to get some new pegs put on. Pretty happy considering yesterday I thought it would be in the hundreds! Looking to treat myself to a Dainese leather jacket and some A* gloves

The bikes will be getting some love over the next few days:
New DID gold and black chain for the tuono
Some magifoam for both bikes, the cb400 will get a wheels off deep clean this weekend once I've changed the sprocket carrier bearing.
Also bought 4l of paraffin for chain cleaning, as I was going through WD-40 chain cleaner too quickly. £1.73 a litre for paraffin, much cheaper!!

Very nice. Been thinking about a gold chain for the XR for a while - you might just have persuaded me.

I was tempted by the gold/gold version but at another £30 I couldn't justify it £60 for a 106 link 525 chain, good price.
