Today I have serviced the regal barge, seeing as it was last done 3000 miles ago. Changed the oil and filter: The old stuff was still oily, and the filter didn't have any bits of bearing / piston ring / other metallic items in it. Refilled with some luvverly semi synth stuff from Halfords. Cleaned and gapped the plugs: They were all only about finger tight (dunno why), but were all a nice tan colour. I guess this sort of indicates that my fuelling worries are all in the mind, so I feel a damn good thrapping coming on. Didn't do the air filter: Cos Onyerbike hadn't received it from Kawasaki. Finally fitted the Smartwater stuff. All in all a pretty good day despite the weather, and this evening SWMBO appears to have left me [1]. [1] She's going shopping in Swindon tomorrow so is staying overnight in Cirencester. She was not impressed when I said I wasn't coming as I have an appointment with the bike. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
