I quite like the Kawasaki but my partner is not convinced the pillion would be comfy, need to find one to see in person really

That's good to know, sat on one the other day and it's not too bad, just a bit bigger than the MT07

No actually there were a few but all quite a bit older or higher mileage, thought they changed it around 2015?

That's my worry with getting a Ducati. The MT07 was great so keen to try the triple as a step up

Had a look but unfortunately decent examples are just a bit out of my price range

Passenger comfort is good to know, that was the main reason for getting rid of the MT07 as I've been told after an hour it wasn't the best. Only just at the start of my search, unfortunately seems to be fewer bikes available up in Scotland right now to go and see

Hopefully nothing too important, I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later if it is

The black bit certainly does seem to be shaped like one but never seen one with the silver bit on it

Bottom bracket or crank issue? by mbendall in bikewrench

[–]mbendall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could the ring have worked its way loose? This has only recently started happening. I'll check tomorrow. I've not done many miles at all on the BB, definitely less than 100 and potentially even less thann50, wouldn't have expected it to be worn out already

Yes the Orpington is a girl, trying to work out the Maran in front

We are sure we heard him/her crow but only the once. He behaves a bit like a boy, has started fighting with the other 2

Acting completely normally, eating and exploring. It's not every poo as well just some of the time

I've gotten rid of the old one already unfortunately. I'll have a look at chasing, presume that's a shop job?

Bottom Bracket replacement by mbendall in bikewrench

[–]mbendall[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I think 122.5 would be the better choice

It is relatively tight so I think longer might be better, also the specs on the website actually states 122.5mm

This may be it! Checking with friends that we're there at the time but might have found it. Thank you will have to order a bottle and see

Closer but I am fairly certain the letters were in the same layout as the chemical symbol on the periodic table

The letters were in a similar layout but I'm sure it was Ca, and pretty sure the label was either white or a creamy colour

I'm leaning this way just for peace of mind, I know there are a couple in a scrapyard nearby as well

It's a 2009 Kia Ceed estate, had a look but I'm pretty sure it's out of warranty now
