I had to go for petrol for the lawnmower today, felt guilty until I got to the garage, only one pump in use selling premium unleaded. I'll probably be on Faceache with some smart remark.

I went to Tesco the other day. No signs about max allowed, and pay at pump said £99 limit. So I filled until the pump stopped at the 99 quid limit. Couldn't be arsed to start a new transaction but could probably got another £20-30 in there. Turns out I was super empty.
Probably ended up on Facespace because I put in too much.

Since i replaced the front radius arm bushes the other week, the suspension has gone to pot

Maybe if one of the arms had been out of position and effected a sensor

no, i mean wobbling and bouncing like driving on cobbles at 100mph.. hit a bump in the road and its off on one.. not quite what i'd call 'death wobble' from what i've seen on youtube

you tend to know its death wobble by the colour of your pants when you get out - they dont call it inconvenient wobble

I think if I'd been going faster at the time i think you might be on to something

its possible. new panhard bushes could mean something else now bares the brunt? Usual cure is to change bushes mainly panhard as thats the ones people tend to leave out. Bit of a minefield.

RB tv have a few videos on changing bushes and track rods to cure it

I've not replaced them yet, but it was fine until i did the radius arms.. maybe just coincidence

I think I'll have to start at the top, so to speak.

Didn't you have to remove the track control arm to get the radius arms off? If the steering damper has been disturbed it may need priming, keep it vertical and push and pull it through its full travel at least three times.

Just fired up the ride to work bike this morning for the first office ride prep for almost a year, although it has been out a few times to keep it sweet. Joys of a Jap single for reliability, although not as reliable as the stroker I had years ago. 100ish mpg useful in these times, it might have only half a tank but at only a day a week in the office at the moment that should see me around a month before I have to fuel. With a ridiculous 8-10 litres to brim it. Despite the lay over it still all works, including the heated grips. Not looking forward to 6.30am hit the road instead of stroll from one bedroom to another though.

I took one end of the track rod off as i did each side, didn't go anywhere near the steering damper though. It felt as though it was doing it's job though as the steering wasn't all over the place

What does the missus say about the girlfriend living in the same house.

Unless they have been incorrectly installed they shouldn't make a difference Jack.I changed mine three years ago,just the hockey stick to the axle bushes, and I never felt any difference.
