First autotunes session done, Burger King for lunch. Living the dream.

Dull and overcast here but I plan to get a look over the tracer later today as it'll be taking me to the Isle of Wight again in the week.

yes its not great on an enduro style bike

That looks much cleaner there Bob...Nice work. ...Shame you guys have to run those barn-door sized plates...

The WR has a convoluted number plate holder, it's more like you'd get on a sports bike and is prone to damage when the inevitable tumble comes from trail riding. Having bent it back into shape more than once I decided to junk it and try to find a tail tidy . There are not many options for this bike and I certainly wasn't prepared to pay over £100 for one Ali Express came to the rescue and at a much more reasonable £20. As with anything Chinese it needed a bit of modification and the oem indicators wouldn't fit but I found some mini-indicators in my stash. I'm quite chuffed with the outcome and hopefully it will survive any tumbles ...... I also fitted a new mudflap as the original was well shagged .......

Well my bike will now lift the front wheel, only a little but it definitely leaves the ground, not something I'm going to be trying to do but something I would rather avoid, it ain't the right kind of bike for that. I was pulling to the front of a queue and the lights changed so I pinned it and the front came up and I eased it back down after about 30 yards or so, there is now a ridge along the centre of my seat where I gripped it with my arse.

Fitted a radiator gaurd today . The rad had taken a bit of a biff after on off last time I was out, it's very slightly crushed at one end but no coolant loss that I can see .

New tyres front and rear and new chain and sprockets , I have upped gearing to 14t front and 48t rear.
