Preparations for the Simmer Dim #2

I have done page 62, Air Cleaner (though I really ought to buy a new one); page 63, Crankcase Breather; page 73, Throttle Operation; and page 100, Cleaning.  I have also had a go at re-gluing the heated grip back onto the throttle (it twists round until it acts as a rev limiter) and trimmed some of the end of the rubber in an attempt to stop it sticking open.

I haven't done page 64, Engine Oil, because I'll check levels before we set out next week. I haven't done page 69, Spark Plugs, because it seems to involve taking half the bike apart; or page 75, Drive Chain, because despite working out I still can't lift 2Moos onto the centre stand. We'll get there.

I also haven't done page 84, Wheel Removal, because I'm not sure how this will help. But I'm reassured that should I need to do this, my Owners Manual has helpful pictures, unlike the BMW one which just said "this should be done by your Authorised BMW Dealer. "
