Newbie from the UK
« on: November 27, 2020, 06:48:29 PM »
Morning All from a cold frosty UK
Arrived here trying to fix my rear shock pre-load adjuster (ST1300 obvs) - got it loose last night, next job is to clean & refill it.
Got a few bikes: ST1300A 2007 - 3 years in & 20k (that's miles). Ashamed to say it failed its MOT test (annual UK road safety check). So new fork seals, rear caliper rebuild, new Delkivic down pipes, various bits painted, full service, new tyres (Gonna try Road 5 GT's) & of course overhaul of the pre-load adjuster.
ST1100A 2001 with 90k on the clock - poor old girl has sat in the garage for 3 years. Got a major problem with the ABS, I keep threatening to de-link it but don't know where to start.
CBR900RR 1995 - Basket case street fighter.  Chucked it down the road at Mallory Park a couple of years ago at about 115mph.  Currently being restored to road worthiness - on Hold while the ST13 gets fixed
MT10 2017 - Proper hooligan tool.  And the only one in the fleet currently on the road.
Looking forward to meeting you guys.
