A good excuse to do some work on the motorbike this afternoon in the garage, with the crazy changeable weather of sudden sunshine and heavy showers we have been having locally.
After being told by the MOT tester about a month ago, that the motorbike brakes were just about adequate to pass the test, I decided to adjust them when I got an opportunity. The rain bouncing off the garage roof and dark grey skies, provided a good opportunity for indoor work!
Being a typical Honda, they require very little maintenance! (a good excuse for neglect!!) And it's surprising how you can get used to riding a motorbike with wear in both front and rear brakes. It's been ages since I have adjusted motorbike brakes; and after a quick check of the settings in the manual, the brake and cable adjusters were set up in about half an hour.
Now the brakes feel a lot sharper, and I have to remember to adjust them a bit more often!
An oil change and chain adjust and lubrication are next on the agenda, in about 200 miles time.
Honda motorbike engines seem to have the ability to survive few oil changes as well.
So watch this motorbike maintenance space - If you're still awake by then!............
