Gave the MT-03 a good wash ( first one since um.. july? ) Chains come up like new, but the cush drive rubbers have a lot of play in them!

Front tyres near the limit
Back tyres got a fair bit left but hate the tyres
Cush drive rubbers have a fair bit of play in them
Due for its 6000 mile service

I have a feeling this might end up being a bloody expensive month!!!

its more than that, sprockets got the wobbles, side to side, forward back, grinding when pushing the bike. One of many lovely 'features' of this bike Smile Still... the common problem of speedo and rev counter failure hasn't happened ( Yet )

Doesn't sound good cush drive and sprocket carrier bearing deffo need an inspection at least they are easily sorted. Whats the chain like?

Well, I got an early finish and my cush drive is OK, so I went up Derbyshire. Pretty quiet, but rode into a sleet storm around Longnor. Not quite so nice. Better than being at work mind. Have a great Xmas all Smile

Tidying up the shed, found this little fella.
Baby Blue Tongue Lizard.
Harmless and eats some of the bad critters.
