Started off by fitting a 12V power supply (cigarette lighter type) , then wired up and fitted a aux fuse box. Fixed my TUTORO oiler as it had a blockage and then just fitted a TT GPS mount.

Today i did the cush drive mod as mine had loads of play also swapped the chain rollers around as the bottom one was completley shot need to buy a new one for the top now :-(

I also installed the cush drive mod.

While the rear wheel was removed, I cleaned the chain also. A small canister filled with chain cleaner and then I dipped the chain right into it :) had to let it soak a little, gently brushed, pulled the chain and dipped another part etc. I don't know why i've never done that before, this is the best way!

Replaced coolant while installing new Kev O2 mod (i know it wasn't necessary I was already there, so what the hell :) )

After a LOOOOONG winter the snow and ice is finally disappering!! So its time to wake up the XTR...
I have modded with PCIII, DNA1 & 2, GPR slip-on, 14t sprocket, shorted dog bones to raise the bike 35mm, change foot pegs, mounted new Maxxis tire and have it dyno�d.

Now I�m wondering what bash plate to go for. I have one home made but I think it looks too weak so maybe I order one from OTR.....

I took it for a ride yesterday, the rain was pouring down but it was fun. The power is really linear and the torque is amazing!

This weekend I�ll be on a one-day gravel training.

Finally got around to installing a proper power socket on the dash.

(Much easier than the temporary connection I had rigged under the seat!)

Oil and filter change (thanks go to Opie by the way for their service) ready for the trip down to the Lakes.
A few bits of bling arrived so got round to fitting them.
OTR headlight protector - sits too close to the headlight for my liking - will be hard to get those squished insects off.
Front foot rests - ebay - had to modify slightly with a grinder.
OTR rear brake lever extension - comes in s/s finish but painted it black.
Brake snake - ebay

what is the red thing in front off the brakepedal for something?

Thats part of the brake snake - stops the brake lever bending outwards if the bike goes over on that side. The red part is the 'clamp' with grub screws to secure the wire.
Jmo and Stoic advised that it may be an idea if I was to alter the lever in anyway - specially if extending it out the way -which I have.
I'm certain that those guys ride with a LOT more passion than I will ever do so the chances of mine being bent badly out are low but I like to take advice from those who know.
I think you will find pictures of bent brake levers in the post 'any footpegs lying about'

Last Friday I had my new Wilbers Fork Springs installed with Castrol Fork Oil SAE15 (I ordered Wilbers Fork Oil SAE15, but OTR send Castrol...). The behavior of the bike truly changed! It felt like train on the highway and corners! It was fully loaded and it was a joy to ride for a trip of 320km!! I'm really happy with that change!
