Losper made this clip of our ride this weekend, I am adding it here as an explanation as tonwhy I will be asking how to repair a lot of stuff soon...
Actually my bike performed well. The issues Ibhad was caused by me. I again lost the bolts on my bash plate (my slip up not using thread loc even though I had them real tight) also lost a bash plate bracket that will be toigh to source.
Ibalso had an engine error code intermittently. 4 long and 5 short which is the lambda sensor which is also me...I was very rough with that wire when installing the starter.
I also broke one panel and added a lot more character in the ahape of scratches. Really going to need that sticker kit soon.
Other than my own poor riding skills and poorer DIY skills I am very happy with how my bike performed.
I havent washed it yet so there may still be some surprises lurking.
And yes a smaller bike would be better, but then the trip would not have happened as I rode the 700km there and back, mostly at night.
