I picked her up last night and enjoyed the trip home a lot more than the train journey there, standing in the middle of a carriage looking like 'Black Stig', lol! Anyway, what a machine! It's got the Ape racing can on and it sounds like it should be spitting flames, or bullets out of the back!

Anyway, I'm going to be busy this weekend (and probably next), here is my preliminary worklist:

Check Oil (should have been done)
Check tyre pressures
Check Air filter (should be new)
Check for aibox restriction
Check for MAP2 restriction
Check spark plugs colour / condition
Check fuel lines
Check vacuum lines
Check Eprom type
Flush / Change Clutch fluid
Flush / Change Brake fluid
Will Abba stand work?
New chain / sprocks
Clean / free disc bobbins.
Check / clean Calipers
Check Suspension linkage
Check wheel bearings
Check Head bearings

Check wiring
Check battery - old?
Check earths
Check solenoid - oem?
Check reg/rec - oem?
Check sidestand switch - mucky?
Check clutch slave - oem?

Then, the shopping and real work begins....

Change reg/rec if OEM and then
Eliminate brown connector
Eliminate white connector
Change soilenoid if OEM (150 A (wemoto £25 / Yam #4KD-81940-00-00)
Replace battery YTZ14 BS if old
Change stand for GSXr 1000 (K2-6)
Change clutch slave MPL / Oberon if OEM
Re pack race can?
De restrict oem can?

Check Valve clearances
Throttle bodies - Griff

I'm hoping the weather will be kind. Can't wait to get out for a proper ride...

I haven't had the chance to take any piccies yet but will post soon.

Thanks to this forum I know what needs to be done..cheers all!

Come on with them piccys. Nowt like the buzz of a new bike is there. Congrats on finding the best machine you'll ever own. Ain't that rumble summat eh?
 
glad you got one. i finally got to enjoy mine for the first proper time weekend just gone. The sound it makes is like a drug lol. Got a few extras on my list roll on payday next tuesday

EDIT i wanna see pics :thumbup
 
Will try to take some pics tomorrow morning, not that photographs do it justice! It's Italian automotove art!
 
Hi Dobber,

Did you have to buy special fittings for the mille? I was wondering whether the fittings for my Daytona would work, or whether I'd be able to use the paddock stand lugs on the swingarm?
 
Here's some pics I took quickly at lunchtime..I'll take some more when the sun's out. :biggrin

Thanks rig1!

Congrats

How many miles on her ?

About 20k miles..

The mods have started...

Just ordered some extra long mirrors from an RS125 from ebay and also an MPL clutch slave nearly new from PaulW on this forum..
 
Thats a nice tidy example for sure ...but some herbert's gone and bloody chained it to a fence !
 
Very nice mate.. what year mirrors did you buy? Dont like watching my elbows..
 
The mirrors arrived this morning. They feel very good quality and the arms are significantly longer, about the same length as a packet of Nurofen in fact. Sorry, I didn't have a ruler...
