Nigel, I never realised that your bike was in such poor mechanical condition and needed so much work doing to it, I'm surprised you managed to travel up North and get round Scotland that week.  :popcorn:

I think after the 24th of this month I should be available. Well, that all depends on how well this weekend goes

So.

1. Replace front bearings and seals
2. Replace rear bearings and seals
3. Fully grease driveshaft and rear wheel splines
4. Retorque header bolts (replace with locking ones)
5. Retorque engine mounts
6. Replace potato launcher
7. Do 24k service
8. Put on remaining accessories from the 08 model
9. Replace screen
10. Replace seized adjuster (under warranty)
11. Get suspension setup
12. Remap ECU - maybe stick on PC as well?


4 & 5 in the list are due to the slight vibes I get, although changing the front wheel bearings have helped immensly so I may do these only if I get bored.

Oh yeah, I'm also looking for a second hand cheap telly to stick in the garage so I can stream maintainence videos off the net. Anyone else done this?
