Ethel has been treated to a new Odyssey maintenance
free battery. So far this does what it says on the tin. It has sat there untrickled through all that minus degree weather and really does spin up the motor much quicker than before. I also fitted Goodridge braided hoses,new pads and fluid.As a disc brake novice I was inundated with horror stories of bleeding out air bubbles. I bought a Mnotrax Little Bleeder one way valve kit - it took 15 minutes each side, job done !
Ethel went straight through her MOT with an advisory that the exhaust clamp has deteriorated. Bit of a mystery this as it appeared to be all there but the end can did wobble - it always has ! Solved by the Flying Brick Forum. There is a mica sleeve insert that slips over the manifold and the can goes over that. Got one next day delivery from the very efficient Motorwerks and now have a very quiet Ethel with less whistling sound and no pops on the over run.
Ethel seems as ready to go as I am and is running sweeter than ever. I'll do an oil change before we go to Europe and hopefully that will be it.
