(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

Ordered a lot of oil and filters.

opie oils has 15% off engine oil at the moment for anyone needing any.

 

The fronts take some levering on too. The last S21 front I fitted had me swearing quite a lot

 

Finally the coils arrived and the job of removing the tank has begun

 

Just tried to let my bike insurance broker about my car being written off and they said they were not interested ……… until renewal time which is a bit ominous. Andy

 

My car insurance is due renewal in a couple of weeks, steeling myself to have a discussion about my bike accident last year... Outcome is going to be a significant hike in cost I fear.

 

Installed new spark plugs and eldor coils to the hyper. Took about half an hour to get the tank off, made a lot easier if you remove the seatlock panel, as I read somewhere on the forum. Thank god for ducati tool bag, as i didnt have the right size deepwell socket
Both spark plugs exactly the same. Now I did open the air box up a bit with the star.ace kit, removed cat from exhaust as well as remove o2 sensors, install the pairs block off plates and ran the bike like that for a little while before getting it mapped.

So as I'm doing valves, belts yada yada in about 2k miles I'll re check the new spark plugs to see how they are

 

pleased to find two starter motors that i only vaguely thought I had, will be perfect to do the final test on the ugly. I hate how the memory deteriorates

 

New chain day.
