(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

I hope you didn't leave that matching luggage rack behind.

 

New boots for the bike and ordered a tail tidy and oil cooler guard.

 

I'm guessing you do this work yourself? Looking at getting it done on my 959 as its making me anxious looking at this image and the other forum posts on it! Do you have to change the pump as well?

 

Wiped all the crap from yesterdays ride off the bike. Didn’t take long.

 

Sort of doing stuff like this as a part time job. I will be changing the pump as well.

 

Swapped out the bulbs so they match the led running lights. Also had to apply new tank pads as lost one last week. Also added the horrible reservoir socks until I upgrade them when I can hide it from the wife.

 

Tail tidy and Oil rad guard fitted


Now sit down and watch the highlights of the MotoGP, think I picked a pretty good week to have off work

 

Passed her MOT today. Only 615 miles, 200 odd less than last year. Must try harder this year

 

Bought a new (2006) bike to fiddle with.

 

Cleaned and retreated my leather jacket.

 

I took the top end off the Mito to discover that it doesn't need a set of rings.

It needs the cylinder replating, new piston and rings and while we're in there, it may get a cheeky tweak and new reeds as well. That's the wallet emptied...

 

Oooh you tease…whazzit?

 

Stick a bog bore kit on it.

 

Little Daytona that needs some love.

 

Drained about half a litre of oil out of the bike. The dealer I bought it from (not Ducati) said it has had a small service wether they did or not I don’t know but the level was way beyond the site window, don’t know how long it’s been like that, since they’ve done it or the Ducati service last year, anyhow now level at the top marker.
Hopefully no serious implications?

 

Possibly been pumping a bit of that oil out of the breather and into the airbox?

 

Received a nice box of goodies from Ducati Coventry.

 

What's inside?

 

Steel water pump gears and a new pump for the 1199
