What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[Matt51F1]

The new GraveSport Cam Chain Tensioner against the original (2F) from my 2010 model.

Got it in place. This is before setting the tension.
It looks like, when it comes new, that it’s almost at the right place to put in - but I did slacken it off a few turns.
Turned the motor over by hand a few times to make sure the chain didn’t slip.
All good!

Now, this looks like a new spark plug that doesn’t have the electrode on top. They’re actually made like this to help make the burn inside the combustion chamber be more even without the cold spot caused by the electrode.
Bike started & ran with no problem.

I might add that I read on this forum about spark plug holes getting corrosion in them. Only number 4 had corrosion in it so I’ll be keeping an eye on it. Put some WD40 down the holes as well in the hopes it’ll help keep the corrosion at bay.

Went to do an oil change as well but looks like I didn’t have my usual store of extra filters in the shed

Wow. The last time I installed a plug like that was in an '87 Rx-7. The Mazda's plug tip was a little more recessed and arced to plug body. Haven't seen one since.

These are only quite recent from what I can determine. Made by a mob called Brisk & they have quite an extensive range while being relatively affordable.

They have a supposed life of about 60,000km so, if they do, they’ll be good value.

That’s at 4pm??? What’s it getting up to at the peak of the day?

That blast of hot air through the jacket & visor, even when moving, is rarely fun

We hit 112° today. 20% humidity. 104° is the coolest temp predicted for us for the next ten days. 'Hatter is maybe going to get some rain and drop below 100° on Tuesday. We've been rainless since June 15th when we got that monster hail.

That’s something you can live without… stupidly hot weather & then getting smashed by hail

If I were flippant (& I usually am), I could say that things could always be worse. I hear that housing is opening up in California with all the people moving to Texas & Florida….

I kid… I wouldn’t wish California on anyone

I'm just hoping that they all decide it's too hot and go home. You know, since their global warming stopped, and their drought is over.

Cleaned my headlights with Colgate today. Guess that will work a bit longer. Way cheaper than the 600 plus dollars it would take for a new unit

I used one of those do-it-yourself kits from auto parts store. Can't remember which specific brand. Comes with the pads and final treatment. Pads attach to a supplied adapter that goes in a drill. Worked great and only cost about $35usd

New front. Heading out for 4 days on Sunday. Back was new 1000 miles ago. 40 min tire change with spoons and a bucket for a stand. I'm getting better at this.

Yes indeed. Cyclegear and I’ll have them put it on before I head to CO to complete the BDR started last year.

Nice! I'll be doing some of the MABDR Sunday and Monday, then the CrossPA Adv Trail to Erie on Tuesday.

I repurposed my rear foot pegs. Mounted to skid plate as highway pegs.
