(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

When you’ve got a week off work and high pressure resides over our green and pleasant land, it would be rude not too……

 

Today I fitted an Evotech oil cooler guard to my XDiavel,I wasn’t expecting it to be delivered until tomorrow so I never had time to fit the rad cover that came with it so that will get out on tomorrow

 

Fitted an intercom to my new helmet

 

Schuberth?

 

Nope, I got the Ducati AGV Peak V5. I’ve got a few Shoei helmets, this is my first AGV. The fit seems to be good, I’m hoping it feels good out on the road. The trouble with helmets is the only way to find out if they’re any good is to just buy them.

 

I’ve always thought some kind of wind tunnel arrangement where you could stick your bonce in and blast up the wind to see how it feels at speed/ noise.

You could see this working well at bike shows, that sort of gig?

 

That would be a good idea. Maybe one day.

 

Removed the exhaust servo and the hideous cables from the SFV4

 

Wondered if I can rebuild the plastic water pump gear. Think I have found most of the bits

 

This is nightmare fuel! Why isn't these parts a recall?
hope it hasn't damaged anything else! How did you know it had gone did it go whilst riding, did temps rocket etc or just find bit in the oil?

 

Modified the airbox on my S2R, cut the top off to expose the new Pipercross filter, it looks the same as the Ducati Performance kit but cost naff all except a couple of hours time! Also changed most of the bolts now for stainless ones.

 

You will get no warning, if you are lucky you will see the water temperature shoot up as the pump stops. Caught this one before it failed, always a good idea to check the suction filter on a Panigale every oil change

 

Dropped a 3 piece Multistrada sump guard of at the local powder coaters and then went for a ride in the sunshine. Seems it's addled a number of car drivers' brains though. Picked up new front brake pads on my way round so need to fit them this afternoon. Andy

 

Think I may have had a tyre delivered?

 

Or a big licorice all sorts. Not sure what that would have to do with your bike though.

 

Yeah, that gear has definitely gone hasn’t it. Are you good a puzzles?

 

Surprisingly only the drive gear has gone so it should be easy to do

 

First ride out on the tuono this year. Backfires and wheelies, like being back 40 years. What's not to like.

 

Finally sorted the bike insurance after about 30 phone calls, and being dicked around by several insurance companies.
