I am going to change Brahma's tires and exhaust finally.
The last tire change, they told me that the TORS are too rusted to go back on after this time. Sure enough, the left pipe at the bend came completely off when I removed it. Luckily I have the full system from Paul to go back on.
This is as far as I got before the rain hit.

Adjusted my headstock bearings (about 1/2 turn). I had heard a bit of a clunk last time out. Bike feels tighter now.

How many miles / kms do you have for the pipe to be rotted out ?I am going to change Brahma's tires and exhaust finally.

Brahma has 83K miles now, TORS went on around 800 miles. Keep in mind, I ride year round in all kinds of bad weather adding to the early demise of metal...

For the love of Pete; does no one carry a 19mm hex? I went to 6 places looking for one to no avail I can't remove the front tire without it.
I ordered one from Amazon in the end, it arrives Wednesday.
I have decided that I will go without a bike for a tad longer as I am now going to do a lot of cleaning as stuff comes off.
My first chores today was putting the lift together that Pretty Pillion got me for a birthday present awhile back.
Then I discovered that it is about a half inch to high in its lowest position to fit under the engine.
I managed in the end and once the rear tire came off, I thought I'd go ahead and make it aluminum colored again before I take it to the shop to R&R the tire.
I will remove the rotor to clean the rim.

Finally cured my front brake squealing when coming to a full stop. I had two options, don’t stop or clean the dusk bobbins. After cleaning the dusk bobbins the front disks now can move laterally inside the caliper and that cured the low frequency squeal when coming to a stop.
