Gloomy, rainy, dark, not great for riding :(
Gloomy, rainy, dark, not great for riding :(
It's gloomy, rainy and dark here in the UK. Just horrible. After a rubbish day at work a blast on the back roads would be just the tonic but it's more or less impossible. So take a little time to have a virtual drink in the bar, tell the friendly bar staff your troubles and plan the Winter upgrades. Maybe I'll have a seasonal mulled cider and formulate a plan to strip the bodywork off the X, tidy it all up a bit and check it over properly. And do the 17/39 sprocket change. Should be enough to keep me out of trouble! Cheers, HF.

Thanks mate , i will have one for the road too, oops maybe not, a couple of beers wouldn't go astray though ! We have round 35c today so its I just finished that sprocket combo except i went 38(TLS) i think 17/39 is better for overall chain / sprocket wear.I cant believe cagiva went with that terrible eom 16/40 combo When you do that sprocket change you don't need to remove anything except the sprocket cover , sprocket nut/locking nut and that little return spring. I read somewhere here a need to remove cables etc and the clutch actuator thingy,the one with all those little ball bearings that usually go everywhere , you can get away with wiggling the sprocket out without having to remove any of that other clutch stuff/cables etc.

Cheers, scotch & water for me. No real trouble but I reckon the reg/rec may be playing up again... see comment on battery thread. Still using him daily mind and yes it's not the best of weather but still possible to have a giggle as long as you're wrapped up warm & toastie.It's gloomy, rainy and dark here in the UK.

But on the bright side I've finally got my rs in gear and have begun looking into resurrecting the 'ol Duke. Well, I've bought a detailed restoration manual and am making a list.... but hey, you've gotta start somewhere.
The temperature forecast where I am for the next 7 days is: 6/5 (max/min c), 9/3 (scorchio!), 6/1, 5/0, 5/1 & 6/1 but it'll feel like -1/-2...
