Running fine so kept going. Getting some noises off the chain too, more bloody money. i’ll worry about getting home Monday. Expand Bike got me home yesterday with only one hick up 20 miles from home? Will have to wait from my patch lead to arrive before I have a clue to what's going on. Dropped the oil when I got home too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted June 25, 2024 Share Posted June 25, 2024 Just been out for a cheeky 75 miles bimble on the CBF with my Shadow. Partly to try out my new screen and partly just to be out there. Dropped into Dameralls for an oil filter and a few bits. Obviously Shadow had to have a Sausage sandwich then got all unnecessary because boys in Dameralls. Did crack a smile for once. Chuffed to bits with the new screen massive improvement over the stock one and with the deflector much quieter as well. Actually hear the bike keys rattling at times and stuff in my tank bag moving around. Much more road noise as well but that was obviously masked by wind blast before. We then set off for Bodmin Scooter Centre as my boy needs a new rear tyre for his Ped. Then home. Gonna wait for the sun move so I can service the CBF. To Scorchio out there at the moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted June 25, 2024 Share Posted June 25, 2024 If she's anything like my daughter that's a scheming smirk, she's planning something. Patch lead arrive and, Got one off eBay before I went as the rabbits have had fun with the original. Can't suppose the seller would have known it was dodgy. Original back on and awaiting chain and sprocket kit. Noise from the chain was down to worn links where O or X ring seals missing and worn. I'm guessing they didn't like one of the chain sprays I've been using. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
