Tried to track down an annoying front suspension creak which occurred mainly going over speed humps. Took my Poly bushes out of the wishbones and re-copper greased them which seems to have cured it.  :y

Yes, they do seem to occasionally need regreasing.

I think my MV6 needs doing again, but I think there may be a clonk there as well, just hard to tell over the creak.

Fitted new Bosch Lambda Sensors into the bosses that Loo Knee welded in a few weeks back.

Cleared the DLC's (only 0430 current, 0420 intermittent), lets hope I don't see the EML back on again.  :)

Two thirds of the way through removing a 3.2 engine.Everything done under the bonnet. Now need to get underneath and remove the necessary bits under there,then lift it out.
Got the bike all put back together - ebay in the morning.
