(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

Found this:



Have changed the view details to 'People you follow only', but the view flag isn't ticked.

 

Not sure you can, mine hasn't had a flag, unless it did last year whilst I was traveling.

 

Re-programmed the panigale blipper. Too much push from the engine while hard downshifting. Seems OK on the dyno now so let's see what it's like on the back straight at Almería

 

Other than look at it, I haven't done anything to the bike for weeks

 

Topped up the fuel tanks of both Scramblers, the 937 Monster and the V4 Pikes Peak yesterday. Going to venture in to the garage now to fire them all up and give the engines a heat cycle. The Pikes Peak is due an annual service in February and I definitely need to get out on it. Fortunately we had several hours of torrential rain last night so all the salt has been washed off the local roads. Andy

 

We definitely need a 'me too' emoji!

 

Can you try and waft that rain the short distance down to us please Andy.

We were frosted up again this morning here on the South Downs, and the roads are still White with Salt not Ice.

 

Just gone out to my garage and the pavements and dropped kerb outside my house are dotted with hard, frozen puddles so obviously gone from about 6° at around midnight to clearly subzero a few hours later. I’ll not be riding today. However, all the bikes have been started, run up to temperature, allowed to soak and (for the 2 water cooled bikes) run again until the fans kicked in. The air cooled engines got a double soak, just for good measure. Both the Pikes Peak and the 937 Monster have LiFePO batteries fitted, the Pikes Peak fired without an issue but the Monster struggled, even having gone through my Lipo cold weather “wake up” routine. Once the engine fired and ran for 10 minutes, there were no issues starting again. Might be time to look at a replacement Andy

 

Might mean the subs rise to cater for the extra traffic.

 

Carefully climbed over them to get to a power socket to turn it off

That's the most i have done for the last 7 weeks

 

Clearly wasn't careful enough

 

If you have power then I highly recommend a baby monitor. Dirt cheap (and you may well know someone with one sat in a cupboard you can get for free) and sensitive enough that no one is getting in without you knowing. The fox occasionally sets ours off as it goes over the roof but not a major problem. Obviously only useful if you are in, but so are the alert mines. Sad that we have to go these extremes to keep stuff safe from these scumbags.

 

Bit of tinkering with the Nsr for an hour.
