Jagsding said:Kamanya has neglected to tell you about the full stripdown, major service and painstaking rebuild I did on the bike while it was in my garage for 2 weeks after the Amageza
I blueprinted the flux capacitor.
Adjusted the negative tension on the hyperdrive coupling.
Stripped and lubed the sliptoride pump on the accelerator valve
Installed the new double overhead battery terminals and high rise radiator cap.
Adjusted the internals on the New Matik tyres from RACE to ROAD
Drained, measured, filtered and refilled the snake oil cylinder
Changed the batteries and settings on the power bracelets

For New Year, I rode to Koesoeskloof and then had a bit of a jaunt on the way back, in all about 1000k's
All I did to the bike was undo 8 bolts and unplug the navigation tower. Then put the screen back on. It still had the set of tires I raced with.
Other that that, nothing else was done to it since it crossed the finish line.
Checked the tire pressure and strapped the bags on and the metamorphosis from Rally bike to Tourer was complete.
Jeez, what a bike!

Ditto! Except I did 2000kms and I didn't even have to replace the windscreen! :

Okay, okay, I changed the oil and cleaned the air filter...
Happy new year! Let's go night riding at Atlantis!![]()
They will do 2000km dual sporting without oil change no problems :thumleft:IDR said:MaxThePanda said:Kamanya said:Postscript....
