My exhaust gasket turned up today so another hour or so over the Mancave
I have to admit that she is now clearly firing on both cylinders and sounds so much better for it. I am quite new to the V-Strom and put the lumpiness down to old fuel and shite in the filter, which was going to be my next job before the bike let me know what was really going on.
Other than a slight crispy corner underneath on the seat covering (not visible when on the bike) nobody would ever know about the....erm...incident.
Well, except for the 6000 people on here and the hundreds of visitors every day
So, to recap. This 57 plate DL1000 with 53k on the clock (sorry)
