sounds like you bet the better deal than your bro. Not only has he got a bike you can borrow but he does your wrench turning as well !!!!!!

Gotta look out for my 'little' (100kg) brother. Wink

I certainly get the better deal!

He's always been much more of a tinkerer than myself. I certainly do the easier things, oil, filter, plugs, brake/clutch bleeding and like, but with the more complicated stuff, or stuff I've not done before, I'm more than happy to watch, assist and learn from him. He's a good teacher! waytogo

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

It is handy to have a plug in there to keep the oil from coming out.

Oh and started to get inspired about the monster again after seeing an almost finished silver S2r 1000  Shocked

My bro and I reset the TPS. This required the removal of the airbox. Even though that was a pain, it allowed me to replace some old bolts with newies, tidy up some wires, clean the throttle bodies inside and out, clean the trelis frame and pretty much everything else under the airbox.

Next my bro synced the throttle bodies and finally set the air bleed mix.

So far so good, now for a few rides and plug chops. It's certainly starting and idling better than it has in the year I've owned it, plus the throttle response is very crisp. Much better than ever!

Looking forward to the next sunny day!

No idea, he was pretty secretive about it.
All that I know is, he was upset cos he lost his pencil in my motor     Grin
