What have you done on your bike today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
The first 2 pics above should be in the other order.
Guessing the MSG mid-match relates to the screen swing ‘transmission error’ but it’s nothing to do with that.
So I’m wondering - P16A4 is cooling fan - it worked ok though was on for longer than usual after I’d got it home. And there’s very little coolant in - way below min level.
Then P0475 - exhaust servo; could that explain it conking out (if exhaust valve closing?)
I’ve got a Healtech eliminator that I bought on @Swiss T recommendation but never fitted it as it looks super fiddly for my ability.
Any thoughts?

Fit the eliminator yourself. You will find it very rewarding beating the (Zen) gumption trap.
I guess you will have read Zen and the art of motorcycle maintainance.

No I haven’t - Wayne mentioned it to me a while ago.
Is there a chapter on the servo eliminator on a 2023 Speed Triple?
I’ve seen a video of a guy doing it and it looked a nightmare.
The book has very little to do with motorcycle maintenance it is a philosophy book using motorcycling analogically.
The fictional story contains a scene where he is riding with a very intelligent friend who has no interest in servicing his bike himself. The author of this "autobiography reefers to this condition as a "gumption trap"
You are quite capable of doing it yourself but would sooner spend your hard earned money getting someone else to do it.
Which is what happens to me when it comes to Desmo services.

Great book that, i had a copy and it went missing on one of my moving flat bollox.
Today i rode to Mcdonalds for a breakfast muffin and some Sprite, after that i rode down to Sammy Millers for 2 stroke day.
I had to put some air in the tyre this morning and it had lost 5psi, still not taken the whateverthefuckitis out yet going to do it tomorrow. Feeling knackered today for some reason and can't be arsed so it can wait. It was a massive turn out today at Sammy's so much so bikes had to park on his other field, in all the years i've been going i haven't ever seen it as packed.

Could that cause it conking out too?
Give it a go mate, i love getting stuck in, the first time i changed the belts on my 900ie i was a bit nervous!!
Before i bought the 900ie i watched loads of vids on youtube about belts etc so i just got on with it. To be honest you can't go wrong as long as all the timing marks on the pulleys and casting it's no big deal.
The 996 was the same and just got on with it, the thing you must do is turning the tension pulleys anti clockwise or your in a world of shit!!
Thanks Noobs - what the American guy said (about error codes and limp mode etc) are the same as mine, but mine conked out every mile and a half.
The Sergeant Sodom vid is the one I’d watched that put me off doing it
Might have to bite the bullet and get it done
Garage therapy day again....
1. Fitted one of those security bar things to the floor infront of the garage doors to stop people just wrenching the doors open....which they could easily....just slows them down....
2. Gear change issue on the hyper fixed (rearset bolt had backed out a little bit and was rubbing against the shift rod.....ordered one of these anyway as a future upgrade... MH900e, Factory Pro 800 869-0497, shift kit
3. Added a secondary tracker to the SXV (smart tag hidden somewhere else on there)
4. Swapped out main starter relay - another known failure point (mines the OG one on there for the sake of a few quid swapped it out anyway.)

Bin the stock flappy exhaust for flapless, catless aftermarket and a remap?
Another little run out this morning to get some spares
And a photo of my mpg to wind up @West Cork Paul

Is it starting to loosen up now it's run in?
