Erm Lee...
I know it's called a "jet wash" but that's what its task is mate. Not what you should do to it FFS!

Well, Today, as it was miserable weather here, I spent some time taking a spare Sprint rear hanger and removing the rear footpeg mount (using Duck's favourite tool) to leave it as simply an exhaust hanger.
The bottom right hand is where the hanger bracket used to live. Cut it off with a cutting disc, Ground it down with a grinding disc, sanded all the remaining anodising off the ally and then gave it a quick polish up with a stitched wheel and brown polishing compound.

Gross decontamination in the shower then soak in clean, soapy bath rather than fester in your own filth like some rugger bugger in the communal bath.Showers are for getting clean quickly.
Baths are for chilling out

Took the Sprint out for a gentle spin today around the local area. Bit damp with showers in places but good to get a bit of tarmac under the wheels.
She is a good looking and sweet handling machine. Just wish the tank didn't have leprosy.

Tank looks fine in the pics mate, I wouldn't sweat it.
I've the odd bubble on mine but I think of it as commensurate with wear and tear, 19 year old vehicles shouldn't look showroom.
Gave Bertha the elderly GSX 1100F her first oil and filter change in my stewardship. The oil wasn't in bad condition, but I swear she's had 2 or 3 oil changes without the filter being changed. Not that surprising when you have to remove the lower half of the plastics to get at it. Then it's conveniently hidden behind the downpipes in a recess so that you can only see about an inch of the f@cker.
Not being blessed with fingers like E.T. I think it's fair to say it made a straightforward job into a bit of a pig. Bless those little Japanese engineers, eh?
Anyway all done now, and she should be good for another 12 months.

And dead easy to access
A filter removal tool with a wobble bar extension bar slotted into it does the trick mate.Gave Bertha the elderly GSX 1100F her first oil and filter change in my stewardship.

Fit the filter removal tool from the side. Then slide the wobble bar in between the downpipes.
Next time Jez, next time.
