Thank gawd that's over

The TLR's 30K service, that is.

This is only the second modern-ish sprots bike I've done a major
service on, and boy are they bloody fiddly.

It's not technically all that challenging, it's just the sheer amount
of stuff you have to unbolt to actually get at anything. As for
getting at the nipples for throttle balancing... <shudder>. Much
better than the FZR though.

I know that sprots bikes are designed for performance first, but a nod
in the direction of serviceability would be nice.

Right, end of rant.

All done so I went for a gentle shakedown bimble this evening. The
bike was fine but I was *very* nervy... just couldn't relax.

All I have to do now is get some miles in to rebuild my confidence and
then I can start thinking about track days!
