18,400km additions

After our last run to the local track, I needed new tires and a chain so I decided to add some other stuff while it was in the shop.

I've been on Battlax BT-39's for the last 8,000km and decided to try radials this time so I put Battlax Hypersport S20 EVO's on it. The reviews look pretty good and I'm hoping to get a bit more wear out of them.


Added braided brake lines and new rear brake pads with an oil change.

I noticed on the trip home that air drag on the front brake line was causing it to be pulled down and "loop" out between the brake caliper and the "ring guide" on the fork. The stock rubber grommet holding it up higher wasn't enough to keep the line tight. What is everyone doing about that?
