It's been a busy few weeks.
A couple of weeks back the Super Sherpa was sold and replaced with a Yamaha TT250RS.
It's had a bit of surgery.
Tail tidy,
number plate light,
ignition barrel,
heated grips,
flexi number plate,
rimlock in the rear wheel,
Today I've taken the shock off to unseize the preload rings and set to max. (I'm fat)
stripped and greased the shock linkages and removed the lowering link and replaced with the stock ones.
It's bloody tall now. I stopped on a slope and nearly lost it. Off road it's going to be interesting.
And to top off my week (and spending) Saturday the Varadero wouldn't start.
After 7 years the original battery gave up.
18amp/h batteries are bloody expensive, even when you work in a bike shop.
With SWMBO out with the outlaws this afternoow, the only thing I could think to do was take the TTR for a test ride.
It's missing most of the decals, but I'm not fussed on most of the designs anyway. But I attacked it with a wad of Stickers.
