Well after a 3 day ride covering around 770 miles I was looking forward to a restfull day, a sleep in this morning as I had taken the day off work with the intention of washing and cleaning the bike, as it seemed to have collected more splattered bugs and flies than I have ever seen before, must be the time of year.
Thinking this was my only major task today I answered a knock at the door at around 8:00am, courier delivery sign here please. I read the delivery docket Sydney Australia, must be the K&N's and front guard I purchased, looks like I may be doing a bit more than simply cleaning the bike now.
I had breakfast and watched the New Zealand All Blacks game against the British Lions Live from Twickenham a comprehensive win 41-20 to the All Blacks, look out for them next year in France the World Cup will be ours. Right out to the garage and removed the front guard, easy job first. I pencilled the cut edge of the replacement guard, and after a cut and polish it came up fantastic, no need to paint it just slip it straight on. done.
Time for the fun stuff, removed the seat, bearclaw, air filter top and element, removed radiator overflow bottle and return hose. Flip the gauges forward and prop the fuel tank up on the stay, removed the plastic ducting to the original air box, loosened the inner and outer plenum chamber and off they come. I made a bracket up to rebolt the MAP sensor to looks factory, and after twisting out the air temp sensor made my way to my local automotive suppliers.
I purchased 1.5 mtrs of return hose for the coolant system, I did not want to cut up the original as I may want to return it to stock one day, yea right. I also purchased a small K&N to protect the air sensor tip, all up $40. Back home and reassemble, fitted coolant bottle into old air filter space and run hose for return and overflow, I cable tied the air sensor filter to the frame.
I decided to leave the secondaries in at this stage, may be a job for another day. Slipped the filters on reassembled everything and gave the bike a good clean. Hooked up the laptop and dropped in 1fsthombre tune, all good, did an adaptive relearn with tuneboy and fired the bike up, sweet no check lights, done. Looked out to see rain falling so no way I gonna get the bike wet it may shrink hehehe. But I did get time for a photo to share with you all, front fender and K&N's.
I will report back once I have road tested, dam rain.
