What have you done on your bike today?

[Unhinged]

Did you go all smooth like?

"Babe, Babe, I think I'd like to buy a chain so I can wear it close to my heart and think of you
" if the chain starts with DiD then you can fuck right off ya smooth bastard"

Tell her it's a gold chain.

 

[ComfySofa]

Well, ironically you fucking belter - it is! (or will be!)

Got the front OEM indicators off today & fitted my more modern Triumph LED versions.

After removing the original bits this half of the adaptor mounts in from the inside of the fairing,

And the the other half slides over it,

And then the indicator is mounted & it's all held in place with a 6mm button head screw & nut.

All I've got to do now is modify the wiring with a couple of diodes to stop them all flashing whenever the indicators are selected !!

 

[ComfySofa]

Chain ordered.

Sheffield know you so why not ask them for their thought on a price and the current market on what's shifting and what isn't

Yeh, I was going to ask them, Google says £10-14K depending on mileage / history and condition.

Just sold for full asking price of £13k

Ooh...you must've priced it too cheap

First actual rideout on the hyper today for probably about 3 years or so....cant remember the last time i went out on it (out of Bristol)

Went to caffeine and machine...then onto Bibury Motor Hub. After all the little mods and fixes id say its probably running the best it ever has for as long as i can remember.
1. Fixed the oil leak.
2. Fixed/upgraded the starter (didnt miss a beat today) started instantly every time.
3. Cleaned and greased all the battery contacts.
4. Fresh oil.
5. Locktite'd a load of bolts (the thing literally shakes itself loose.)View attachment 167913View attachment 167914View attachment 167915View attachment 167916View attachment 167917View attachment 167918View attachment 167919View attachment 167920

I think I was at the Hub at the same time, or at least same day... lovely customers 1972(ish) 911 Targa parked up

Always nice to see youngsters coming through. Biking needs young people to secure its future and should give them all the help and encouragement we can. Good on you Skitzy.

 

[Gimlet]

Or Hell's Budgies.
Those lads don't look like they're going to become and organised crime gang any time soon.

Agreed... but that means they will never be budgies.

We know!

It’s another section of the community we need to worry about

Today I got round to removing the exhaust servo and fitting the Healtech eliminator.
The ‘transmission’ error doesn’t come on now (it was never a transmission fault…apparently it throws that one up for the exhaust servo.
But, the ‘check engine’ error came up. I don’t think there’s a problem with it, so cleared the code and restarted it, and no error messages.
I’ll go for a ride tomorrow afternoon to see if the CEL comes on again.
It only took me 4.5 hours

 

[Loz]

Checked the tyre pressures on the Baby GS. They were fine but I'm glad I checked all the same.

It's a tricky job, sometimes the valves are in the wrong place for easy measurement, and today was one of those days.

Problems, problems, problems.

Wouldnt you just map that out on the/a dyno?

It’s a common fault on that bike - @Swiss T recommended switching it out when I got it. If I was changing the exhaust too I’d get it mapped. Might still do that.
It sounds better already and the throttle response seems crisper.

I’m going ti ride it for a bit (so long as the CEL doesn’t come on) to see how it is. The eliminator is set up for the standard bike so should be ok.
The dominant sound when you’re riding it hard is induction - I don’t know if that’s picked up by anyone except the rider.
Be nice ti have a bit more exhaust…for safety reasons of course

Took the opportunity to take a 2 hour spin through the hills of monaghan and into Armagh in northern Ireland for some brexit tax dodging.. I have an oohpod account which holds a parcel for you north of the border so it incurred no tax ,the 2 small packages in my back box would have import charges of 244 euro in taxes and duty plus an English company wouldn't deliver to the south as its a bloody faff .. ah it warms the heart to give the fuckers in government as little as humanly possible
