hah! you should send this pic to r&g racing so they can update their website. i was looking for a clear tank pad but never found a pic online so bought the black pad. clear pad looks much better.

deliberately. the longer pad base is needed when braking hard at the track. and the r&g logo looks better upside down. to meCould be looking weird, because you put it on rotated, even the logo.

Wanted to go for a ride this morning, walked into the garage to unlock the bike, flat rear tyre:
The culprit:
Plugged the hole:
Had lunch, checked the pressure, all good, went for a ride:

Well, the stop & go plug I used to plug the tyre did not last very long. About 400km and then it let go.
So I replaced it with one of those sticky string type plugs on the side of the road.

Last bath of the season today. They have started putting salt on the roads, so that's my season over.
It needed the bath:
Much better now:
Done 9016km on the Vit this year. Odo now reads: 45.421km.

Would be the same here - Hochsauerlandkreis. Unfortunatley I wasn‘t able to ride a lot due to my new friend Tossy 3… anyway, next season will start soon!

Well, not a great start to the season here.
Last ride saw very high temperatures on the dash, temp guage blinking and the fan not switching on. Coolant was low.
Fan works when directly fed by 12V, tested the temp switch in a pan of boiling water and it did not open, so I ordered a new one.
Also ordered a waterpump rebuild kit just in case.
Clutch needed bleeding again, getting very tired of having to bleed the clutch so often. The slave was replaced with an Oberon after having been replaced under warranty and not long after that failing again.
I've rebuild the master a few times, but trying to bleed it this morning I couldn't get a firm lever. Took the master apart, cleaned it and put it back together. Still nothing. So I'm absolutely done with the piece of sh*t Magura master cylinder.
I'm not going to order another rebuild kit, I've looked online and the only other 13mm radial clutch master I could find was this unit from braking:
So I've ordered that. And I really hope that's the end of those annoying clutch issues.
