the new - what have you done to your ped today thread.

I have always liked the wheels on SR's.

 

Sunday:

Re-hooked battery back up to solar to keep it charged while off the road till the summer.
Pumped up tyres.
Checked electrical system and noted the specs and capabilities, posted it up for others to reference .

 

fitted the motoforce evo clutch today, woah it makes a massive difference, take off is now MUCH better than before and revs a bit higher. Acceleration is nuts

 

fitted my new 'xenon' headlight bulbs, they're more white than blue but i think they look really smart along with my sidelights, also fixed my nearside rear indicator

 

i can't see! I am blinded! aarrgh.

 

Went hunting for a solution to the high speed cut out on my Gal's scoot. since the bowl level was ruled out, and I actually tried the scoot myself, i turned to the electrics. New coil. Problem solved. hurrah!

 

also got a white tyre marker pen in the post today, going to make the writing on my tyres white like on this;


also need to spray my front wheel soon

 

sanded down left hand side panel ready to get some paint friday, this will be quite special!

 

well yesterday i started doing the white text on my sidewalls, i done the 'Avon' logo on the front tyre, and today, my boss added a G infront of it, so it spelt 'Gavon' as in 'Gay-von', and coloured the rest of the letters multicoloured came off though thank god

Also put a fiver of fuel in and done my tyre pressures

 

Not what I've done to my ped, but my son's ped - put it on the bench... ....again - ready for fitting a new oil pump.

At least all our bikes started today (with some encouragement) after hibernation.

 

decided to go down the "sensible" route with the scooter now that i have the KTM which i rode for the first time today and im not too sure if i like the way it rides :/ so could be trading in against something else.
scooter isnt getting the airbrushing that i was going to do or anything else, just quite simply going to try and get it as clean as possible, fix the panels or replace, a full respray in red and cream as it was before. polish the wheels. get the paint of trans case. change kickstart lever - dont like it. glean engine case and give it a better service than i did before.
now looking at 125s ....

 

Very disappointed today. I tried my gf's scoot last night and it was fine. She tried it today and it did it's drastic power loss thing at 80 kph. So I've ruled out the float bowl level, the coil - so now we move onto the CDI - and do a pressure test (just to be sure - though I am certain that it's not that).
But I have also arranged a permanent solution to what I believe is an electric problem. It's called a Doppler internal rotor ignition. Mwuuuhaaaa. Mwuuuuuuuhaaaaaaaa.

 

nothing done to mine today. didn't even ride it to work. got driven to work in the van along with 4 sets of wheels - yup 16 wheels. along with 16 new tyres. changed them as part of a deal with a family friend, said if I did that hed give me £40 and a few push bikes to sell on keep on doing stuff like this an ill soon have enough to buy another 125
