I've bought new oil and filter for mine and planning to get it done first thing tomorrow.
Then its a full body massage (polish) for her and a nice long ride.
Also planning to order some more decals to add my mark.

Ride it..... thats all.
Just prepped the wee strom for our European tour next week.....new tyres,x ring gold chain and sprockets,EBC HH front brake pads and will drop the oil next weekend.
Just had a new set of tyres, have recently removed engine covers and had them shotblasted and powder coated ( black ) Removed Air box baffle and soon will fit bellmouth air intake and high performance filter :cool:
I'm with Jon on this one. I'm planning to ride mine.
Get the feeling some folks might beat me up if I reminded them that their bikes are actually inanimate objects :-)
Some of the time I do believe that my triumph has a mind of it's own.... it seems to decide when it's going to run and when it won't!!!
Major service, new front tyre, Nitron rear shock.
New back tyre
Going to give mine a oil and filter change and fit a K&N air filter
I'm in 2 minds over weather or not to put rim tape on mine
Going up to MH suspension on Saturday to get the track bike set up properly, fitted a radiator guard and front crash bobbins
MOT then ride it/them :cool:
Oil/filter, HH pads, brake fluid, chain/sprox, mirrors off, alarm out, indicators off, plate off, undertray chopped, sag set (ish).
Ready for the track :-)
Rim tape adds an extra 5 bhp!
Oil and filter done, air filter checked, gone over the bike with a torque wrench, lubed everything that needs doing.
Fluids checked, tyre pressures amended
Now all I need is some nice weather tomorrow.
Try and stop swearing at a mystery electrical fault on the F4!
Trumpet is running sweet though.
Just put new (modern!) tyres on the X7, new handlebars, a good clean up and taken it for MOT. The motor so noisy it frightens me but starts and pulls ok but now MOT's and serviced will use it to potter about this summer and rebuild over winter.
Aim is to have all my bikes MOT, taxed and on the road for the first time this year, not sure I'm going to achieve it but getting closer than last year. No tyres, chains or servicing to sort at least although KDX needs a full going over and motor rebuild so may not make it. 1971 V50 booked in for MOT next week so that might be interesting!
2 x Gixers + MT03 all Motted, serviced, tyred and in use. Just bought a NC700X DCT as well so finding time to ride them is the main problem ; )
Sure I could help you ride all of those if you get stuck Trev. :rolleyes:
thats why i'm thinking of getting it. cheap and easy hp gain ;)Quote:
