Good Wash

[Albie]

Today was wash day. I uncovered the s4 and didnt realise she was so dirty. Well not as bad as some but not too what it should be. Got her pretty clean but it was the cracking sound of paint flaking on and around the front cylinder head near the starter motor. Oh dear.:on: :on:
Very disappointed with the newer ducatis and their paint. The 748 even though 9 years old is pretty mint. It has different colour casings. Kind of greeny brown. Much like Eunons I think. I just need to do some detail work like casings. I tried to adjust the rear shock today but dont seem to have a clue what size c-spanner. The 748 one doesn't fit. Any ideas where to get one as the s4 bottoms out at times with a 9 stone pillion.:on:

Albie, from my past experience in adjusting the rear shock pre-load. The way the owners manual tells it is Bo Locks, I've tried all sizies of C spanner, still no joy, can't get them in. :cens: :cry: :banghead: .

Now that you have washed the bikes - don't you think the grass needs a trim. :-)

I was waiting for that and yes your right. Less priority.:mand:

I used to adjust the Sachs shock on my 620 regularly for long pillion rides, found it far easier to take the seat and r/h sidepanel off. High level pipes may cause dificulty with the side panel plus the S4 has the remote resevoir which the 620 doesn't. I also marked the adjuster with three colours of magic marker to help count 3 turns(pillion) or 1 turn(trackdays) accurately.
