When you say you got a pump, what kind of pump is it? Vacuum pump that you plug to the nipple and pulls the fluid out?

how's the level in the rear reservoir? Without pressure in the system if you open the rear bleeding nipple you should get a slow run of brake fluid.

No, the bleeding valve is connected to the bleeding nipple just prevents air to get back in when you release the lever/pedal

3 washes after and jetwash I'm quite pleased with the result. Now is waiting for it to dry. Which here in Scotland can take up to 2 weeks...

NP, I've made my own bleeding valve but you can get one for around £12 online. It helps in linked systems .

That is a valid point, although I'm a huge fan of waze and never had any sort of problem with it. Having the UK left the EU data charges will become expensive so you want offline maps if you're abroad. This will be the greatest advantage of dedicated Sat-nav. For Scottish remote areas (pretty much anywhere outside Glasgow and Edinburgh) you will want to use apps like Navigator which allows you to download the maps and work offline. Having a IP67 phone helps on water protection and I never had problems with vibration so I can't comment on it. Yes phone connection is a pain when isn't there but I never found a problem with GPS link.

You're not alone. I got lost with on screen map

It doesn't matter if the front works fine, because is a linked system air would have entered the linking line. The rear reservoir is quite small so you want to make sure it doesn't run out. I had a similar problem with my VFR800 and spent hours trying to bleed it. only when I left it alone for a couple days the system self-purge and all air disappeared. How I did it I don't have a clue

Main rule in the forum! No photo, it doesn't exist... Linked brakes (as seen on Honda CBS) is a real pain. You will need to bleed all callipers, front and rear, several times. Make sure you keep an eye on fluid levels, last thing you want is to have air getting into the lines. You will have 2 reservoirs that must be kept at level at all times.

As @Ian Frog says you will get as many answers as members in the forum Here's my personal opinion My circumstances: Intercoms connected to either phone or sat-nav (on screen map becomes secondary) Plenty of sockets to charge any device known to mankind 2 bikes. A long range ST1300 and a cruiser Shadow 700 for the shorter one day trips. My choice: Both the phone and Sat-nav. Phone with short trips on the Shadow, will get instructions on the intercom via waze no need for on screen map at all times Touring, the Sat-nav rules. Had a poor experience with the phone on last long tour where temperatures above 30c almost melted the phone. It kept overheating if the screen was on all the time. The battery life was very low because of the need of increased brightness to compensate for sun glare. (here in Scotland is called the weird shiny thing in the sky). Which Sat-nav? the best you can afford. I followed our guru's @Stu (may he be blessed ) and got myself a Garmin zumo XT.

I quite like the stuff from merlin motorsport https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/ Not the cheapest but top quality

I don't think my washing machine works miracles... You would have to see what condition they were. Later will finish it with a jetwash to remove all the soap and give a final clean. Next step is to care for the leather jacket and trousers.

During 3rd wash (current) both are still black and red. What is coming out is the reflective layer on the stripes. I'm not sure the guy wasn't swiping chimneys with them

One thing I didn't mention is that now I have to drop 2 sizes so I can fit in the trousers...

Why use brute force if you have a machine that will do the same?

You will have a page from your council where you can report a pothole or the UK/Wales gov page https://www.gov.uk/report-pothole Unfortunately the "statutory defence" is nothing else than a con created to enforce the "duty" of the citizens/residents to report the potholes instead of the council/highway agency to do the job our council tax pays for. Several times I've been tempted to get a spray can and paint "Thank u Fife C for the hole" or a similar sentence at each pothole. But it would cost me a fortune to do it.

Good morning boys and girls sunny, 10c mostly blue sky with a few clouds. moderate north wind. air pressure at 1015 hPa (whatever that means) min forecast at 4c max forecast at 12c

Not directly related to bikes... 1st wash on waterproofs I promise you, the water is a lot darker than it looks 2nd wash, and yes, I turn on the jacuzzi 2nd wash this morning, again photo looks better than really is.

Now this is embarrassing... Missus got some bargain trousers yesterday. As usual she buys stuff but why bother to try it? I had to make 35 miles each way just for her to realise that the damn things don't fit So if anybody wants a pair of ladies trousers, size 8, 25in waist 30in long (inside leg) I'm only asking what it was paid for + post Apparently has never been used, there are no signs of wear but I have no idea how long have been in the back of the wardrobe. Price: £25, parcelmonkey is showing £9 postage via DPD Make sure you measure your/missus waist as I won't accept returns. Item sold as seen

Well @Stu This is the type of deal we would like here in the forum Imagine a discount for anyone wearing a Tmbf snood

Ceramic coating will protect from swirls caused by washing and that kind of light scratches. I prefer to use this https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/carplan-no1-super-gloss-600ml-553996040 It is far cheaper at less than £8, you will apply every 3 months after washing. In my case this is once a year because I don't ride in winter. Similar to wax but with better water repellent effect and gives a nice shine. Keep in mind that those £150 are 90% labour the product itself is not that expensive but the "layers" of work is substantial. I would definitely consider a DIY process for a bike. This because the treated surfaces are far smaller so any defects less noticeable. But I stick with first post, in my opinion is too expensive for what you get to be worth the money.

I feel your pain. When I got my divorce back in 2000 my own clothes and the VFR800 were my only possessions Do I regret getting rid of that cheating bitch? Nah...

I've look into ceramic coating and all other detailing options when I got my car and decided against it. Ceramic coat won't protect against chips or deep scratched. Film detailing will have a stronger protection on chips but will scratch and turn yellow with time. Both will need redone if there is a rupture of the coating or film. I know a bike have far less treated surface but a set of fairings imported from China will be around £350 (price for a St1300) will be painted to spec and will be as expensive as 3 coatings with less hassle.

But the house have no wheels
