Poo! Self maintenance fail!

Title says it all really,

Traveleed up to see Steve D on Sunday to sort out my tyres and learn how to change them myself again as quite simply since doing it last year at the lakes I have forgotton. haha so 30 mins later job done and chris was one happy chappy!

Got to the bike today to plonk the wheel on and it is a flat as a pancake! Poo No# 1! Must have nicked the tube when putting the wheel back on.

Oh well cracked on thinking ill just whip it off again and replace tube when my levers get here.

So next decided to change over the oil filter and oil. Emptied the sump no problems with no mess, popped out the old filter, spilt a little bit of oil that was inside the filter..no biggie.

Started filling the ten back up with oil and put 2L in and spilt it everywhere DOH! So I now think the bike is slightly overfilled....What if anything is this going to do to the bike?

Next up is to order up a new tube, new front pads. What size do I need and where is best to get them from?

Also the horn is being pathetic noise wise and just kind of wheezing. Is this an electrical issue or is the horn dead?

Cheers Chris
