Another great video Steve, awesome looking bike and that sound nice .

Just gonna say tyre pressures....you beat me to it !.....i do actually go around my tyres while on paddock stands looking for cracks ir slits or general road damage myself .
You do sometimes find little nicks from running over chippings or small stones whilst riding..... something i do quite often really .

👍Not much point checking front tyre wear...probably never on the road😂...Looks fun that!

[@angusb1434]

Is this one of your bikes again Steve? You should do a tour of all your bikes 😄

[@neildawson4933]

Nice video! Shame you have to put out a statement before checking the bike to stop the key board warriors jumping on you 🤦‍♂ I did all of the above with my Hornet 600 and it passed it’s Mot the other week. Other than a slight notch in the head stock bearing it passed ok 😀 I’ve also been rebuilding a Bandit 600 from a bare frame, fingers crossed that passes ok as it should be ready next month for it’s Mot.

I've only done about 100 miles since you serviced mine last year lol

Your bike or a customer's? If there is such a thing as a slow day for you and you want to nerd out on the VFR 36/2 SF, don't be shy about it. Don't see so many of these around and certainly not like this one.
And yes - was about to mention tyre pressures... ;o)

Thank you!

Like before watching, I have that swingarm on my CBR919.
You should buy better cam.

Question. My light that illuminates the thing in my speedo is led and on the mainboard, if that dies will it pass the MOT?

[@themobilemotorbikemechanic]

Rule of thumb… if it is fitted it needs to work

[@tindalowos]

[@markterence3689]
