I took the day off yesterday and once the UKMOC related hangover had started to lift, I rebuilt the forks and clutch, along with bolting on plate, lights, indicators, mirrors and hugger.
After an brief test up and down my road this morning, I booked an MOT and headed to Rosso Corse, only to discover the bike was running on the front cylinder only. A little help from Ray and Max revealed a damaged injector, which was duly replaced and the MOT passed. 5 short journeys have put 32 miles on the clock and everything is oil-tight. Running in has begun and tax disc purchased.

Shorty front guard and no belt covers! Brave man. Get that front tyre hot and its going to throw allsorts at them.

Now for the running in snoooooooooooze.

Well done Rob. Oddly enough I've also had to replace a duff fuel injector on my 900ie recently

Be interested to see how the engine performs once run in

Thanks to Pompone and Jonzi for a grand day out yesterday.
Around 300 miles covered, in short hops with lots of espresso in between, the only fault was a slightly loose temperature sender.
The bike runs around 10c hotter than stock but is running 20w60 rather than 15w50
She pulls like a train (up to 5K rpm for now) so didn't seem to hold the other two up too much.
Running in wasn't as dull as expected since the national speed limit comes up at 3750RPM in top.
The bike is running quite rich at the moment but was still giving around 50mpg
