Just before the winter, this bike was in serious need of some TLC, and as I'm riding in this freezing cold weather, I think I need some sort of heated handlebars or gloves.
I read a few bits and pieces Motorcycle Gloves reviews Heated Grips reviews Chain and Sprocket replacement Front Brake lever Rear brake pads
But encouraged by my son, I'm gonna try to do the caring myself, but first I got to buy the parts.
Wemoto UK Motorcycle Parts - GS500 Brilliant - bought all the parts I wanted for £100 by Paypal and their customer care is very friendly and helpful.
I'll wait for the parts to arrive (hopefully before the weekend) then the preparation begins.
Sunday 29th January
.. well the weekend has come and gone, I suppose I was too expectant, believing that the parts would arrive before the weekend, they were been delivered to my work so, hopefully they will be there, when I arrive tomorrow!
Monday 30th January
..no sign of the parts, so I called Wemoto, they said "the order hadn't been dispatched and that the delivery will be received tomorrow!
Tuesday 31st January
hoorar!, The parts were on my desk when I arrived for work this morning, because of the timing, I've decided to drop the bike and the parts to The Motorcycle Store, they fitted the chain and sprockets and the heated grips. I've got reservations regarding the installation of the grips, as anyone would be able to press the switch whilst the bike is parked, and wear down the charge in the battery.
I've gonna ask them to change it so it operates on the ignition key.
Friday 3rd February
The heated grips now only work when the ignition key is in the on position, that should save the battery!
Twisted: You forgot to mention the Oil Changes...
