What did you do to your bike today?

Nice. How much it cost?

Yesterday.... first service done

Still [supposed] to be careful with the revs, but I'll start to introduce the red line a little now - just up to it, not holding there. Let's hope these last ~500 miles are done sharpish, so I can focus on riding the thing

Done an oil and filter change on the Blackbird in preparation for the trip to the south of France in 3 weeks

£420, thought about the cheaper Healtech Quickshifter but decided against it.

Yeah about 10 kilos

Captain · 28 Jul 2018 at 23:12

Should have gone for the Full Yoshimura system like I did, saved 24kg.

That's an insane weight saving

New Bridgestone RS10's on today.... mmm.... new tires are nice. I can confirm that you don't need to scrub these from new, they just grip grip grip.

Yeah the stock full system is ridiculous!

They look very slick, almost like supercorsa rubber, I’m going to try the PR5, they’ve been getting good reviews.

The MT-10 full standard exhaust system is under 8kg so Suzuki must have been super lazy with their engineering to have a 30kg exhaust system (I'm assuming the new system is circa 6kg)!

The full Yoshi is around 5kg, think 24kg might be too much actually, I’ll weigh it tomorrow, it’s definitely 20kg+ though!

Please do, I'm genuinely curious about it.

I think you may have your scales on the wrong settings, or reading them wrong

More likely to be approx 10kgs for the complete stock system around 22lbs.

I preferred to save £500+ with just a link pipe

CGrieves · 31 Jul 2018 at 19:41

Cleaned and polished it! Didn't take a picture before locking it away, so imagine a shiny S1000RR

Lakeland · 31 Jul 2018 at 20:43

Same here, giving the crf250L a good clean so it can be put up for sale as I’ve just put a deposit down on a ktm 300 exc tpi 6days

Monster. Am well jel.

Need to decide what to do with my 200 EXC, currently rotting away in storage.

It’s very docile at low revs but wants to wheelie with very little effort and when it’s on the pipe it’s like a caged animal being released for the first time

.

I’d get the bike cleaned up, new piston if it needs it and stick it up on eBay with a classifieds advert. Still see them being sold a fair bit, ktm seem to hold their value well.
