I'm not sure I have a problem at that end .. I probably do ... but I don't get it on the tyre.
I noticed a lot of gunk underneath on a cooling hose which is coming off at the front sprocket

Grumpy - do yourself a favour and check out the Pro-Oiler. One of the best investments I ever made.

2008 1250s Bandit.. Silver.

Not much at all compared to some - I'm almost embarrassed to say..

Oxford Hot Grips (Working perfectly again)
Acumen Digital Gear selector readout.
Silver/white rim tape.
Air Hawk seat cushions
Custom made Ventura rack bracket.
DanMoto GP style Carbon Can.

Would like a 'clip on' thermometer. Saw a Bandit up at Glen Innes a few months ago parked in a shopping centre - had one of these thermometers (ambient temp only) all nice and shiny chrome that just clamped around the centre of the handle bars... about the size of a large wrist watch. Haven't seen one before or since - anyone know anything about them?

Might have been from these guys - they do clocks and thermometers, not just for Harleys.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MOTORCYCLE-THERMOMETER-HARLEY-2006-2011-BLACK-/370501798890

The missue has a clock from them on her VL 250. And it is quite stylish. May get a thermometer myself when I save a few readies.
