A Bit of TLC
« on: January 08, 2024, 13:41:44 »
Recovering from a double break of the thumb (not bike related ) and with the crap weather

I thought it would be a good time to carry out a few jobs on the 650

Valve check / adjustment
Rear suspension link
Service , oil , coolant , filters etc
New Exhaust
New Screen
and a good clean

All with one hand...

2017 - 650- 19000k
Bike all stripped valve check done and all in spec. bang in the middle,
exhaust is off eventually, a right pain would have been easier if I could have taken the front header off, but the bolts were quite corroded and very tight  :angry-banghead:, didn't fancy shearing them...
next job is the suspension link as this was an advisory on last years MOT, hopefully that comes off without to much hassle
then I can start on the service and put her back together..
If it ain't broke it soon will be…
