Actually surprisingly not that bad...crusing at 65 mph...just under 1500 rpm... 11 gallons per 100km.... not very economical at all. And to think we're all trying to save the planet and you're the one killing it. Shame on you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahara weather is quite dry, though, although at 45 or 46 is it on the hot side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been around 32 here today and wont lie in am melting, I think it was around 33 or 34 yesterday in direct sun and it was way too bloody hot, for the humans and vehicles, it made the strip extremely grippy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Yesterday washing my bike felt like a porn scene. I tried a foam gun for the first time. It didn't impress me much, I think I should have used quite a lot more pressure to wash it off as I think there were residues on some of the plastics afterwards, but high pressure at close distances scares me. So I washed it a second time later, which meant I could enjoy one of life's pleasures which is to ride a bike in shorts and tshirt in warm weather at sunset or night. It's not clever but it's nice. I have hardly ridden it this month as well, quite a lot of heat and forest fires are putting me off, and tomorrow will go on a car trip with little brother so that'll be it for a week or two at least. There are plans for the GS though, a set of Mitas is ordered and will be fitted in September, by the time the shocks are going in for maintenance to get them ready for a little ride to the dust in October. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water wetter or something similar. It's nice and doesn't slide as much when spilled either, just make sure to go back to antifreeze for your winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not thought about the cooling side of things at all tbf, probably should renew the coolant in the bike, I'll be going out on the bike for a ride on Wednesday to see how the clutch is now after its properly cooled down as it didnt cool down at all between 6.45am and around around 8pm, it didnt drop in engine temps at all for the whole day even during lunch break and when we stopped at the pub so I think the poor thing was just getting way too hot, especially the clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn’t help with freezing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
