Preparation, I am anal about my bike and it being ready for a ride and looking bling. Yeah I ride better when my bike is clean and looks as bling as it can! OK I have said it in public it’s in the open, now leave it. I fitted my medium size fuel tank 17 litres.
As the photos show I have my bike ready, I changed the gearing front and rear, I fitted a new 140/80-18 Michelin desert rear tyre as they wear really well and I would hope for at least 1000 to 1200kms from it, bloody want to though as they are $230.00
Ouch!!
I fitted the GPS mount to the handle bars, with that fitted and the CRF trip meter for back up navigation I sat and looked at how busy the cockpit looks.
I took it for a ride with the new cold air intake fitted and it was fluffy and all over the shop, I came home and fiddled, and ended up changing the main jet and its cracking now. I cleaned two air cleaners and made up two filter skins, as 650’s have flat air filters so I make them to cover the filter like a skin and use Chux from the kitchen.
I packed the trailer with what we will need on the weekend as Crash will bring it out for us. I packed my tool bag / bum bag, in it is new spark plugs, couple of joining links, spanners, reversible screw driver, pliers, wheel spanners, spare levers (clutch/ brake, gear) fuel hose, cable ties, tape, quick metal, salastic, lock wire, hose clamps, sockets (8, 10 and 12mm) short extension and a tee bar. There is rubber gloves, radiator hose repair tape, valve tools and a large assortment of nuts, bolts and washers.NO TYRE LEVERS this ride, no pump and no tube because I am running mousses both ends NO FLATS !!!!
Helmet cam fitted and tested
Heres some ride prep that cracks me up, Chris tells me he is going the wear a scarf because he will get cold thats funny
