blew a few cob webs from the old girl and took her for spin around the twisties in fife direction. bloody freezing but well worth it as there's hardly anyone out on the roads.

Thrashed it and then thrashed it again.:massage[1]:

Did the AIS fix and went up the driveway a couple of times, to short a test to confirm the improvement on popping and backfiring in the exhaust but I think it better.

It's a commuter for me so the ride tomorrow will be the proof.

So I got too work and believe it has made quite a difference, it has reduced the kakling and booming on over run by a significant amount in frequiency and volume.

There is still some going on but I am happy with that 'character'.

It must be said that the pipes are twin Two Brothers off a Yammy 1300 XJR so they are great big bloody tubes and will not do much to damp that kind of noise. What I am getting now must be latent to the tune of the bike (Standard apart from pipes and AIS, for the moment).

Fitted a new DID chain and JT sprockets. Also took out the chain adjusters, cleaned up inside the swingarm and cleaned and greased the adjuster blocks. I stripped and repainted the adjuster plates, which were flaking and rusty. All torqued back up - just the plates to fit when the paint has dried, then adjust the chain and off we go. A nice afternoon to work outside for once!

Rode over 100miles to get a boat back home for the weekend to find the main road to the boat was closed due to a 6 car pile up. Alternative route was closed due to snow. So turned round and rode back again...... did I mention this was all in gale force and snowy weather. Defrosted both bike and myself last night then up this morning to give her a good wash down and oil the chain due to Scotland's addiction to salt on the road

Finished (sort of*) the rebuild for my US trip, and took the bike for an MOT test in the snow:
