Rob Taylor Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Stripped the other fork. Stripped and cleaned the handle bar switches, removed handlebar for spraying and oiled my control cables. Quote
dynax Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 After yesterdays problems with Xena's battery it's been on charge and thankfully the battery seems to be fine, took it off charge and is resting at 13v, put some drain on using lights and flashers dropped to 12.4/5 but once at rest came back to settle at 13v, that's good enough for me but will check again in a couple of hours, then i might have to go for a ride just to make sure the electrical system is good Quote
dynax Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Just checked the battery again this morning and has settled at 12.7 Quote

husoi Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Does spraying the driveway with weedkiller counts? Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Does spraying the driveway with weedkiller counts? Only if you do it riding the bike up and down the driveway Quote

S-Westerly Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Had a wee spin: home near Stroud to Bridgnorth via Tewkesbury and Worcester then home via Ludlow, Ledbury, Malvern Gap, Pershore, Stow on the World, Chipping Norton, Cirencester and home. No idea as to the distance but far enough. Plenty of bikes out too. Quote
linuxrob Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Found slight roughness in the Bandits rear wheel bearings while the wheels out for their new tyres next week, so out they came, off to get some tomorrow. Meanwhile carried on plating my spare bolt stash. Also thought about this as a piston ring compressor, anyone else tried this idea with a bit of tin can and a reusable cable tie? Quote
