What have you done to your bike today....

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

Nice ride out on the Daytona - first since the track day the week before.

Got a little mystery to solve that also happened last time I did a trackday on it:
part way through track day engine management light comes on, stays on, but everything runs fine.
running it through the usual 955i routine of 3 heat cycles makes light go off
so if there isn't an issue, why does light come on?
if there is, why does it disappear?

Not going to worry too much as everything appears OK but I'll throw it out there on the 955i forum to see if anyone else has had the same experience.

Expecting pissing down today but it is looking dry so might get teh GS out

I used to get it a lot and do the same thing to rectify it...usually happened if I had taken the air filter off although sometimes it would just happen anyway..I would put tune ECU on it and all would seem well..I think it's just another of a long line of personality quirks with the 955i..

Google what that drug was used for. Its full title is Sodium Pentothal.

I think I've solved the lumpy throttle problem I was having on the Street Triple, I did a TPS reset (thought I had done it before, obviously not properly) and then went for a test ride in the rain. The bike ran great, and I really enjoyed the ride even though it was on and off showers all the way. Bike was filthy when I got home, and I didn't want to put it away wet and covered in crap so I was washing it in the rain, my neighbors must think I'm mad (if they didn't already)



All clean and put to bed...

Nice Sunday morning ride out - went with my neighbour again, him on his R100GS, me on my R1200 GS - happy sticking to a pace that suited him.

Cuppa and a cake too, and only light brief rain showers so all good

Will post pic if I manage to download it form the cloud properly - damn technology!

I had new pads fitted last month, they're bedded in but I went for a quick blast yesterday and they felt spongy. So I tied a cble tie around the brake level and left it since, hope it works.

IF not, any tips, besides bleeding the bloody thing

 

[MartytheMartian]

Why do folks worry about spongy brakes? If it wasn't for spongy brakes I would be long dead from taking too much of a handful and going arse over tit.

It messes with the ABS and also I ride hard so I need to know the brakes are there, not somewhere there.

Tying the brake lever overnight worked for me on my Street Triple, but mine isn't ABS.

 

[MartytheMartian]

Ah well ABS isn't something I have so the only thing saving me from locking up is luck and spongy brakes.
