Been trying to make the thursday rides! dam clutch master cylinder! No one knows how to bleed one properly do they?

Have you tried pulling the clutch in just a little to allow air to come to the surface ?

Bleed as per usual ?

Drew will know - he's clever like that.

Well the Tuono has developed an oil leak and has been renamed the Aprilia Celica as "celica's all over the floor".

It's booked in at TSS for a look see on Thursday so I doubt it will be fixed in time. Plus the forecast is rain all week, so I doubt even the Met service can cock this forecast up.

Sure do mate, and the ZX7 can be a bitch, just ask Sugilite. A seal kit might be required, but I'm happy to have a look if wanna bring it over during the week.

Feck it. Another wet Thursday.

What are the chances of it clearing up (and roads drying out) by tonight ?

**Weaver** · 24th October 2008, 13:26

At the moment it looks like the weather might be clearing in Upper Hutt. Would anyone be keen for a ride tonight if it can remain fine?

I was there, where were you? There was no one at the duck pond so I shot up the hill and back. Pretty quiet except for the SEVEN cops I saw! Including one bike cop and a guy with a radar gun.

No one replied on here so I assumed no one was interested. I went up the hill at around quarter to six. It was a great ride, but there where alot of trailers.

I had my bike in the shop on the dyno. And my computer got smashed the weekend before so I had no way of making it. Not liking the sound of the 7cops though.Do I sense us being targeted....

Well the Tuono is Tuofo aagin this week. What was thought to be a Clutch cover gasket leak has turned out to be a dodgy water pump oil seal. Can't blame the mechanic as the weep hole is in a sod of a place.

Anyway, hopefully parts will be here Monday and we might be mobile by sometime next week.

Southerly forecast for Thursday and rain for Saturday so I'm not crying in my wheaties just yet.
