Finally fitted an OEM exhaust to my tenere that has had the cat removed .

And wow it sounds great now...loud but not obtrusive in any way...lots of crackling on the overrun and the engine can now breath like it should do.

I recently purchased an Aero trim and fitted it bit IT still wasn't man enough to stop the
air flow into my head Im 6'5" so i have made a replacement Part for my Aero trim and it seems to have done the trick

I made it so i could also adjust the height with a couple of extra holes as well

Thought I would tackle this issue where turning the key off didn't stop the engine. I found a replaced wire that wasn't buzzing out but I couldn't get the barrel out so gave up and put it back together thinking I would buy a new barrel and send it to the garage to replace. However when I put it back together I worked B)

I also replaced the cracked headlamp with the one from my DR125, same part and only took about 1 minute. Result!

Dropped and scraped my bike for the 1st time :)

Wouldn't mind, but I did manage to ride quite a lot of technical trails and dropped the damn thing practicing trail skills on a tuft of grass!

Rode it, broke it and fixed it.

Snapped L mirror off in a tumble on a lane. £48 for a replacement mirror from BMW. Replaced them both with Twalcom folding ones instead thanks to the guys at Adventure Bike Warehouse.

On my Yamaha XT660R I've given it a full deep clean, beefed up front fork springs and fitted heavy duty sump guard, rides sweet and looks all brand new again ;-)
