Yay!
IIRC, it's a real ballache to de-baffle the Akro HP's?
Soldato
Yeah, I think so. The last one I had arrived with the baffle out so all good, but it is in this one. I think there's a spot weld that needs to be broken to get it out.

managed to get new fixings for the EXUP valve for the R1 from two different places delivered this week, ordered some moly grease on Prime last Sunday, they've just told me it's been lost and they're sending another out tomorrow, was hoping to get it back together this afternoon.

Not a snowball's hope in hell I'd let something as trivial as that prevent me from spannering!
Already ordered it. Only need a tea spoon full. I'll still have it in 40 years. Don't need two

Adjusted the clutch, fitted some new led side lights, cleaned the air filter, fitted some new plugs and gave it a very overdue wash and wax.
Soldato
KTM got a strip down, clean, and maintenance done.
R1 got a clean.

In the meantime to get yourself going you can use a soft (graphite) pencil to lube up the bearing surfaces in the valve.
No need it's a piece of wall art it'll hardly be ridden. It can wait. Maybe next year I'll ride it.
Installed the wiring looms for Gerbing gloves and Keis jacket. Been off work nearly two weeks and coming home in the mornings looks like they're going to be chilly ones.
Doubt they'll be used unto the frost drops mind. One less job to do!

That's a lot of light! Looks good.

Too much IMO, it's gone passed the "Looks silly" line. Reminiscent of Lambretta with 100 mirrors

Was on my way to Starbucks to pick everyone up a latte, that's you struck off my list
Reassembled the exup valve. Still sticking. Turns out it's warped with the heat. Forum advice is flat surface and a hammer 
spent all night fart arsing around with the fixings and greasing removing grease and regreasing. Bah

Took a long lunch from work and took advantage of some lovely autumn weather. Shame to go back indoors after that.
