Stu Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 Put some air in the tyres and then took it for a "test ride" 3 hours later I seem to have lost a little air again Might need to check the tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Yeah I'm no hero by a long way. to get much further I'd want to be on a track. Todays achievement was to replace the front discs n pads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I didn't ride it, will find out how stupid that was at end of shift. Forecast says heavy rain after long dry spell for end of shift. A 30 minute ride turned into 45 minute drive, parking at work always challenging. If it's not raining at end of shift I won't be happy...

S-Westerly Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Rode it to two hospitals and gave myself a bit of a twitchy moment on a roundabout which I think had diesel on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRH Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Fitted new rear disc. Had an advisory last year disc was worn so EBC disc ordered. Fitting disc ‘bout 15 minutes. Un seizing the chain adjusters ‘bout hour and half . Refitting wheel was fun, why do Suzuki have so many loose bits to line up for the axel to go through. Got it all finished just before the rain arrived. My GPX was much easier. Edited September 5, 2022 by JRH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a juggling act to get it all in there and lined up and holding it all with 3 hands while you put the spindle through with the forth isn't it........
