South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Intrepidly managed to get bike, ass and head in gear and did a flat slow 10 mile out & back.

Tick over very high, gear selection difficult and a little bluers.

Bike felt secure, brakes worked as did suspension.

Gear selection improved a lot, tickover elektriks sorted themselves out and the bluers diminished. No change in oil level.

All in all a great relief.

Yayy result mate onwards and upwards

Good news!

Clutch adjustment can affect gear changing. As can position of the spline/ball-joint piece on the selector shaft ...

As can chain tension

Paying for that little ride today. Back on the pill !

Hoping to do a few more miles on Sunday.

Great to hear you're back on the horse and that horse is behaving.....

New jacket arriving tomorrow.

New hat Thurs / Fri. (with pinlock)

Hat, braces and jacket all excellent.

Bike seems to be perfik after a run today.

Well done top job good to have you back with us.

Will this be your first pinlock?
Mine is and I wouldn't be without it now.

Nah - have had several.

Happy to ride without in summer, but really appreciate them in winter.

Also have a couple of these silicon jobbies. Absolutely brilliant.

Me too Larry. Bought two of them years ago, use them still and wouldn't be without 'em. As you say - brilliant; the simplest ideas always are!

Yeah, Bob Heath Visor Wiper, brilliant little thing !
