What's the hive view on moving bikes in parking bays?
Every where was rammo this morning (bit surprised how bad tbh). I spotted a small bay near my office with a couple of scooters at the end, so budged each one up to give me enough room to perch on the line.
Also just because no one else irl will appreciate my excitement, I finally got my stupid coin screwhead side cover bolt undone! Basically lots of daily plusgas squirts, followed by a bit of heat from a windproof lighter, then using my grandads old bike axel tyre lever spanner with the tip filed to the size of a coin. It's a nice thing to have as it has our surname stamped on the other side.
Even better, I discovered that the snorkel has already been removed and replaced with a bellmouth, which is apparently meant to help performances. This is great, 1) b/c it's off my tdl, and 2) explains why there's a decent roar on a full open throttle, but it's a bit sewing machine otherwise. Going to try relocating the temp sensor closer to the hole.
