Me and the misses decided to have a little ride yesterday. Her bike was fine but the TDM wasn't happy by the time we got to Norwich. Rode home with it on one cylinder most of the way. Bit of a handful with the second cylinder popping back in while cornering.

77K miles is starting to take its toll a little on the old niner.
A month or so back, I noticed I was missing a few up changes and started to fear the worst that the gearbox may need some attention. In reality, nothing to worry about. On further inspection, the left footrest was a bit wobbly and droopy.
I've never worn out a footrest hanger before!
And the end of the footrest to go with it.
All good now. Initially I made a plate up to go between the foot rest and hanger, which also compensated for the now oval (due to wear) clevis pin holes in the hanger. That was one;y intended as a temporary fix while I sourced a decent used hanger. No such luck there as most were quite heavily corroded. Got a brand new one from Fowlers eBay arm for a bargain £75, so all back to normal again now.
I would have sold you a pair of as new hangers including footrests for less that, ah well too late now

Cheers Trev.
I've just been playing and popped in a plug as I only had the one and all seems well.
See what the weather's doing next weekend for a proper test.
Was a denso plug and looked absolutely fine.
