What Did You Do to Your Bike Today ?

[VocalNeal]

Alas haven't used my one bike for years so sadly cannot be any help. 

 

I am still basically camping whilst looking for somewhere more permanent. The virus thing curtailed that for a while.

Like where are you looking to park your bikes.

Exactly. 

 

BTW. I bought some alligator clips and used my RC battery charger at 12v to get my Lambda bypass widget to show signs of life. Suspect now that the Gunson will work perfectly.

Today rode 250km to a vintage bike meeting, but currently working on my NSR150SP after it seized a couple of months ago.

Like the Duke. Pity about the choke.

With that amount of slap. Your barrels must be toast.

A local plumber .????

Went to ShowPow Onnut for new tyres for the Duc.

 

They have a nice setup now, they have built a nice air conditioned coffee shop next door where you can sit and drink a complimentary coffee with a view into the workshop so you can watch them work on your bike.

 

I went for the Diablo Rosso II this time, I previously had the SuperCorsas but I'm not doing track days at the moment so opted for the Rosso II at 9000 Baht a set.

I've replaced the piston and cylinder and it runs great now.

There's a Thai guy on Facebook (Dedorman) who sells all kinds of spares for the NSR.

That's a reasonable price. ????

[Rhys]

Wipe the tank down of bird droppings.

[Kwasaki]

When for test ride again after fitting new rad,  been waiting past weeks been soooo long and so hot, all good though. 

Didn't go over 105 mph it seemed just too fast too soon compared to truck and scoot. ????

[Kwasaki]

Maintaining my mia noi, rotten job having to make special tools.

[EVENKEEL]

Washed the bike, got caught in a rain storm, oh well.

[papa al]

3 things accomplished:

1.  Thursday noticed ceeber's rear Michelin nearly down to the wear-bar

so took bike to iMoto for fresh.

He needed to order, & called it was in today.

2.  Yesty, flat on front of Duke.  

Screwed.

W/ 'help' of two small neighbourhood boys

was able to get her plugged.  

They learned how.

3.  Soles on my enduro boots were delaminating

so after trying a few 'cannot' repair shops,

finally found a little stand in NaKlua.

He said 150baht, come back tomorrow afternoon.

papa said: how about 300baht I come back 5 o'clock today.

Deal. Left them.

2.1 Took KTM to iMoto and had

them replace the plug with a inside hot-patch.

They did an excellent job

dealing with the balance-beads,

setting pressure F & R, & chain.

B150.

1.1  4-oclock took ceeber to iMoto for tire

change.  Set pressures, chain.  B1400.

3.1 Picked up the boots.

Was expecting a re-glue job,

but the guy stitched them together.

Looks really good.

Your had a busy couple of days but accomplished a lot. Glad the boots worked out well. I found a good shoemaker here in CR as well has fixed quite a few pairs of my size 15  boots and such. So for 1850 baht  you sure got value.

[properperson]

Out and about on the old girl.....

[Neilly]

We've been getting a fair amount of rain recently and rear grip has been somewhat lacking...will see how she fairs tomorrow

 

 

[Kwasaki]

Emptied the bikes 28 year old fuel tank that I filled and left soaked in vinegar for 2 days, it had been left standing for 6 & 1/2 years before I took on the renovation.

Sooooo much debris came out, hope to cut down on blocked fuel filters now. ????

  

[Kwasaki]

Just ordered front brake calipers piston rubber kit to replace the old ones. 

Also ordered a clutch friction plate kit. 

$93 for the brake rubbers. 

$90 for the clutch plates.

Strange prices. ????????????

Yeah got fed up with searching got the runner around too much so just went for it but I thought the clutch friction plate kit was a good price.

Roundabouts and swings. ????

Well I started out thinking about making things worse and getting leaks and if I did it would be a full on cut out and TIG weld job but the tank cleaned up reasonably good and will see how things go.

Thanks for you interest papa. ????

This morning the weather looked fantastic. So I got my favorite bike outside. Should have tried it a few days before, the bike had not been used for 6 months. The Honda did not have an issue starting, same not been used for 6 months. 

Well, battery absolute flat. Nothing going. Even the battery charger did not recognize where + and - is. 

Off to town, lucky he had that size. Battery in, but now it looks like raining soon again.

At least next time I can enjoy myself with the bike.

Yeah a battery for a a bike unless new,  left for 6months will need trickle charge attention.

Enjoy your ride.
