Bike runs good - measured 4.35L/100km (65mpg) mainly on back roads at low speed. A slight leak from fork seals stopped throughout the trip, but fork oil needs change. Pushing bars violently down causes a full 3 down/up waves😐
Also, a small oil leak from lower left side of engine, hopefully just alternator cover

En route to Harley shop in Uppingham - had a meet up with SR for sausage n egg bun washed down with coffees at the Green Hut nr Ollerton. Nice ole chat and a table away cops were the worst at social distancing today (yeah yeah they sit next to each other all day - just not in foursomes). :punishment:

I forgot to look at your new chain oiler today Ian - next time. :good:

 

Bill's HD not PXd and another fancy Electraglide remained in the shop. Nice day for a ride tho

 

Fuel 214 miles to last bar flashing - averaged 56mpg.

 

Had a 360 not 400 mile ride out. Airhawk had my butt complaining at 320miles.old age creeping up - I feel that 500 miles may be my maximum (long) day limit now.

 

Still had a grin on my face...........

Nice to meet up with you and Bill, pity he didn't get the newer Harley as I know he was looking forward to moving up in engine size.  Next time maybe ?  Yeah, cops all over the place, glad we weren't doing the flour meetup. :lol:

Changed fork oil, as suspension had gone very sloppy. And, yes, oil was green/violet/grey, but still had the consistence of oil, not the vinegar like liquid I have seen before. Put in new oil, and thought "hmmm..." an went to bed.

Next moring, right before a work trip on the bike, it struck me: "Bloody hell, the dampening rods were not attached!" - and spent 20 mins undoing bars, fork caps - connected the rods, and I was good to go.

 

How did that happen ? I don't know, but it might be that when I last disassembled them, I forgot to tighten the rod nuts. I believe they were screwed all the way down on threads (but I'm not 100% sure, I was in a hurry). If so, they must have unwinded themselves.

 

I feel like an idiot  :istupid:

 

Anyone experienced "self-detached" damper rods ?

 

But - the bike runs beautifully !!! Also tightened head bearings. Now it's a proper dream. The fork (with Gold Valves)  is just so much better than the now gone 9er (with emulators). Took it 200kms yesterday with a big grin on my face. 

 

Asked the wife last night; "You know I have an MC savings account after selling the 9er? I just wonder what to do with it - I certainly don't need a new bike"  :P
