Squires 2016
Got back OK, had a good time, just wish I stayed longer and did bit more riding round with you lot, leaving early was a bad idea cause hardly got talking to the Saturday lads at all. I'll know better next time. Anyway was great to catch up with you all again, wasn't to many faces left out from the very first year.

Servicing
Havent a clue on pricing,, find a good bike garage rather than main dealer,,,,,,, or better again learn as you do it yourself,,,, so ya know what's what for the next time and for when things go wrong with the bike That's just my thought on it all

Adjustable clutch lever for wrist pain?
I try to just not use the clutch as much. Neutral at lights,,,move to 2nd as soon as possible,,,, watch tragic movements carefully means no changing gear,,,, lights go red you click to neutral and roll to a stop,,,, correct revs when rolling means select gear without clutch. Just a few thoughts for you to consider before doing any work. You'll be surprised how much less ya can use the clutch when ya train yourself. Wouldnt be a fan of putting in lighter clutch springs

Front Master Cylinder
Ok, had a wee look again 2day. Looks like the caliper pistons are at fault. The bottom 2 small ones on each side are hard to push back. The master cylinder and splooge hole seem to be working well, I can see fluid return through the hole when supposed to. All the pipes look in good condition and are not soft anywhere when trying to squeeze them. The disks seem straight enough when I put a straight edge iron ruler across them,,,didn't take them off. This only started happening straight-away after I replaced the old pads,,tyre,,,bearings,,,speed sensor. (I done them all at same time.) So am guessing I need piston and seals for the caliper ?

dtr 2003
Nice looking bike The reed switch stunt won't stop the bike reving past 7k. Don't be reving the bike to 10k in neutral,,,,you will kill the poor think. Take care going fast as the brakes can't stop the bike good enough. There's a post on here somewhere about doing all this.
