How crap is the gold frame paint on the Factories.
Everytime I do anything on my T ie putting the R&G sliders on, whenever I take a bolt out a bit of paint comes with it.
Not good. As if the bike was put together when the paint was not fully hardened.
While I'm at it, when I did do the sliders I noticed thier was not a spit of coolent in the tank. Turns out this is a bit of a comon thing but again, not good to see on a nearly brand new bike.

Still love him tho.:yes

check your hose clamps, and if you haven't already, swap them out for some 8mm stainless jobbies...
DO NOT forget to loosen the water resevoir and check the clamps behind on the stat housing
 
Mine was really low when I got it also. I didn't do anything but add some coolant and it hasn't used a drop since.
 
Right chaps, I've topped the tank up to exactly 1/2 way up from min to max [because its easiest to see for me] and marked it. I'm doing Oulton tomorrow so I'll keep an eye on it and report back regarding leaks around the tank and hoses.


How you getting on with the paint tho ?
