Meet Up For A Brew

Getting cabin fever. Anybody fancy a brew at 1066, Oasis or fish farm. Probs be in car.

 

Sorry matey, gotta lot to do today.

 

Sorry i missed your post mate, spent the day in the cave cleaning up and resprayed my paddock stands.

Did you manage to get out a bit?

 

Not to a cafe mate. Visited my mate,s and helped him shift an old woodburner. Just nice seeing other human beings occasionally.

 

Lol, know what you mean mate.

 

Gimme a shout for meet up when it,s dry?

 

Sending her in on Tuesday for a couple of weeks to get her winter mods done and likely to paddock her for the winter once she comes back tbh.

 

What winter mods mate?

 

She is quite spongy on the brakes so having a full set of Hel racing lines fitted front and rear, also having shorty levers, black screen, renthal grips, flush fit led indicators front, led indicators rear, crash bungs front, r&g barends, billet round front footrests and a tube brake reservoir on the rear.

Gixer mid range is not very traffic or roundabout friendly at low speeds so renthal +2 sprocket going on the back and renthal -1 going on the front to improve this.

Suspension also needs dialing in so having front and rear set up, she is too hard on the front so feels hard front and wallows a bit on the rear if pushed so needs sorting. You know yourself mate, nothing worse than arse and nose being out of sinc.

 

Wow, that,s some list. Hope you got loadsa dosh?

 

Lol, must admit there is more...

 

See you mention a Gixer, have you seen Suzuki are doing a recall on the master cylinder on 04 on models ?

apparently the internals suffer from surface corroision, causing a gas to appear in the brake fluid and hence spongy brakes

Never had a problem on the 3 gixers i've owned, but then i change the fluid regulary

 

Yeah, saw the recall, mine is an 03 so not too fussed. I change all my fluids bi-annually and not seen any probs so far so no worries.
