Fish Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I got what I thought was a sensible quote on a 2017 Tracer 700, look at a 2018 for the same value and the quote almost doubled! Same model, same engine, same power, same value.... work that out if you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Measured the shadow and made a template for new saddlebags. Then, because I am riding tomorrow, went to check the tyres pressure. Found that I have a puncture on the rear. No biggie, got the diy plugs and got to work. Made an arse of myself and managed to fully insert the plug into the tyre and remove the plunger without the plug. Then had to go to the garage to get the puncture repaired properly and spend 20 quid. Got home with the repaired tyre. cleaned the brake drum and the axle. all cleaned up and fitted together. Rear pressure to the point. Front tyre, was a little but on the low side so got it to the correct pressure to find out 2 big cracks on the wall of the tyre Means a new tyre to be ordered and hoping that tomorrow won't get into problems. That's the result of the bike being years without running and now with a good mileage on the tyres gave up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Wiped the dust off, fuelled up and set off to “The Pilots Mess” at Sywell airfield. Good food and a view over the airfield whilst it was consumed. Worth a run out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
