My ER6F
Monday, May 28, 2012
Longer than I would have liked, but circumstance prevented and it was still well within the 7k stated in the handbook.
One the plus side, I ordered the oil from M&P, they got it wrong and sent mineral oil, rather than semi-synth and to compensate got 4 litres of full synth a couple of days later.
Also intended to put the standard can back on to let me quieten down the MTC one as it may fail the Knockhill trackday noise check... could not separate it from the down pipes, then Jim Allan had run out of exhaust padding, so that will need to get done another day.
Anyway, more later, inbcluding mocked up naked pics...

Oxygen sensor woes
After a great wee run last weekend, commuting this week was cut short by the red FI light coming on; this was because the oxygen sensor heater had 'failed'.

Service day
Better slightly late than never...
Also checked brake pads, coolant level and chain; all ok, though think I may clean up the breaker pistons, probably will be ok, but nightmares about the 6 pots I had on the zx6.
looking forward to many more happy, if slightly 'cooler' miles till the next service, which will be on schedule.

Planned activity
Not been up to much, other than commuting back and forward to work and the occasional rideout.
One slight faux pas, was missing the oil and filter change interval after mis-reading the manual, so am about 500 miles over :-( This will be rectified this week as note have the filter and oil successfully delivered on the second attempt - some how the courier company were informed that I was in hospital...most peculiar.
Oh, also put the taller screen back on as its heading to winter now.
Hand guards might her an idea as, compared to the zx7, the fairing does not deflect much passed the hands.
Have also been noticing how basic/rough the standard suspension is, especially compared to the zx7.
