Ah ok, I get it

I'll have a dig in an old tool bag I have kicking around.......I may have something that would be a wee bit smarter than a 'laccy band for you.......a bit like this (this pic is a computer networking cable tidy clip, about 50p from any decent PC shop) but the ones I have were for tidying cables inside machines.....any electrical shop (maplins etc) will have them for pennies if I can't find a couple

You could easily stick one of those onto the top of the brake fluid pot, or anywhere flat......

Completely missed this thread, did you get bored with the 650GS?

This "X" looks the business, all the best with it fella

72.5mpg

Doesn't matter how you go, this bike never drops below 70mpg

Re-fitted the original pegs and added the rubber inserts

How smooth it is now

No matter how hard you go it fails to get below 70mpg

Looking forward to exploring the bike's performance envelope in 10 days with you

Transit = 34 MPG as it's a mega rare 5 speed electronic auto gearbox......

Happiness is . . . . .

Pottering around Pen Llyn, exploring the trails and lanes, and getting 77mpg out of the thing (xChallenge) (the Sertao was getting 78, but he had a bigger thing at the front (sprocket!))

Playing about in some water yesterday :

a xCountry and a Sertao, following me on my xChallenge

The xCountry found a bit of a hole

 

[GFJ]

and a bit of cleaner water . . .

XCountry . . . . success


Sertao . . . . . success



Yamaha . . . . . FAIL (or would that be a Yamahaha)
