In preparation for the Yorkshire Rally Of Discovery next month, fitted new chain and sprockets and new chain guides and roller to the CRF 230F.

No it still up on the stand with back wheel off the floor, it will be checked and adjusted with it on the ground and me sat on it. The little CRF will have way less rear suspension travel than your Yam

Today I carried out an oil change on my K8 Suzuki DL1000, I try do it every 2,500/3,000 miles. And after ten years of my ScottOiler being fitted I removed it as it's too messy, I'd rather oil my chain manually to be honest.

I do love a moist chain!

I reckon I’ve got about two hours to replace the chopping board in the kitchen.

Met up with a few guys and gals for breakfast at Fradley Junction before riding up through the Peaks/Woodhead Pass/Holme Moss etc for a couple of days walking with her indoors in the Yorkshire Dales.
Ideal trip for the GS but decided to pack light and take the Morini :P .

Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.
