I think Scotland will be on their own soon.

Then Cornwall will want to be a democratic republic, Norfolk will want to bring back mandatory in-breeding and close the borders to anyone with only 10 fingers and toes.

I've put my name down for the civil war but I'm not saying which side I'll be on...yet  ::)

New cluch at 76000 km. Cost of all parts and labour 800€.
The issue arose back in October when I did a 13 hour on the bike tour around the mountains of central Greece.
It started as a cluch lever issue , upon arriving to tolls the lever did not operate propertly. Days later I discovered some drops of fluid on top of lever. Well let's change it for peace of mind (350€), not sure about the problem as it was an issue only after riding for more than an hour, with hot engine only. Well new lever installed and the issue came right back after a couple of days , costas my ,same name close friend above all, mechanic was reluctant to change the cluch pump and want it to investigate deeper bad I insisted on the issue and a new OBERON was installed (100€). The old OEM one now seats in a self at the parts cabinet on the house basement. Problem return after a few days.
Damn it the mechanic was right again . He now opened the clutch assemply only to discover as he predicted, the discs wore in terrible condition; no1 practically non existing, no2 the same , no3 destroyed, the rest in relatively good condition, for the first 3 no friction materials were found at all, down to the metal. Note there was  no slippage noticed starting hard on 1st or 2nd or any other gear. It seems the new oil prevents slippage and mascarretes the issue. When noticed then its too late and time for new disc set. Bike was at Serres track day just a few days before all this happened . Apparently 300 maybe more track days are not loved by a 1300S clutch.
Very happy with engine and clutch performance with new parts. Smile is back present. Wife was not informed.........

Just to get back on thread for a moment , I am insured and I have had a refund to sort the premium payment out. Went to the shed this afternoon to see the object of all this expense and hassle sitting there while I can't use it. Have also decided to go shopping at R&G with some christmas money and buy some crash bungs

I hope you have a steady hand with an electric drill and a hole cutter Martin. Quite terrifying the first time you do it...

So yesterday I put the sparkly new pannier carrier on the K13. No issue with rubber inserts or wobbly bolts, just had to clean out the unplugged holes in the rear sub frame



Today I had a bit of a play around putting the large soft bag on as well. It'll fit but I think a test ride will be necessary before I trust it. If it works there's plenty of room for the duty free





Tried it sideways as well but it would need a restraining bungee to stop it sliding forward



The bike is starting fine although the battery isn't as good as the new one on the K12 . The rear tyre has gone flat and the fag lighter powered Michelin pump has been dropped once too often and won't work so off to spend some more money on t'internet

I guess you'll need a new plate or sticker when you head off for your duty free?

Caused much amusement in our house hold, my darling wife assumed your packing for a 2 month trip  ;D,

We manage a two week trip with the 50l rear soft bag on both the K or the X/R and a tank bag on either, but in fairness she does the packing not me :D

I have never carried more than the soft bag and tank bag either, remember discussing luggage quantities with you, was just bored and wanted to see if it would fit.
