Thought i would clean the bike yesterday, one thing let do another, and this happened . . . . .
Then it started to rain! :Whistling:
She is all covered, but gonna (try . . ) put her back together tonight.
While she is naked, is there anything i should check, and does anyone wanna pop over for a cuppa and give me a hand?
Andy/Chris . . . . . . . . . . you always have an answer when i have a question!
Thanks all!
Chris
always worth checking electrical cables round the front of the frame make sure it hasnt been snagging or chaffing. If it has a bit of insulation tape will fix it 
Oh the amount of times i’ve done that and before i knew it it was a thousand pieces - still, nothing like the feeling of satisfaction you get afterwards.
Im in Mile End so as long as it doesnt P*SS it down i dont mind lending a hand if you need it. (as long as you’re not too far! :))
Got to get a new locking nut at lunchtime - turns out i have nakered the thread when attempting to remove the crash bungs. . . visit halfords at lunch time i think!
May aswell give every panel a good clean, scratch removal, and good wax before i put them back on the bike!
Might even polish the exhaust!
Bumblebee - Am in Sutton, but i can not guarantee the weather!
Will get the rest taken off and waxed before i do anything else - Want to have it done for Wednesday, Friday at latest (Have booked a night off work so i can come out and play!)
I suppose Sutton is do-able - weather not looking too good though so far.
Weather is looking crap. Not happy - Got to get the other two pannels off before i can do anyhting - am all cool with that, got to clean them . . . . . Dishwasher . . . . . . . . . . mmmmm!!
Will remeove the panels and wax them up tonight - to fit back on tomorrow if weather is good - Might put the gazibo up to work under if weather gets crap!
What… you didn’t take the tank off and clean your air filter out? Lazy ar$e 
Looked it up in the trusty Haynes Manual - does not look too hard - Gonna take the side Fairings off when i get home - will get some help from someone in the kno when it comes to taking the tank off!
I am brave and stupid, just not that brave or stupid!
While it’s naked you need to do just like the Doctor did, put it on the side stand,turn the front wheel to full lock, stick your finger in, just behind the engine, and say, COUGH, Please. Go around to the other side and repeat.
Just for you . . . . .
But . . . . Where does this pipe go - my mate thinks it is an overflow of some kind, but dont have any idea where it needs to overflow to - does it just dangle down?
Put most of it back together last night after having a fight trying to get a sheared bolt of the crash bung . . . . this is how i left it when i went to bed!
