Termignoni stickers removed and replaced by laser engraved versions courtesy of PMP Laser Technology in Havant https://www.pmplasertechnology.co.uk/ (More details here http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...d=1#post566914 )

Also, while the exhaust was off, I was cleaning the rear caliper and noticed that the pads were getting low, so a quick call to Simon at WSC Performance https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/wscperformance and a set of Brembo 7BB2035 pads were on their way for £20 including postage.

I thought I'd bleed the brake while I was at it, (although it seemed fine), and I read recently that, to fully bleed the system, you should activate the Anti-lock system prior to bleeding. So I got the ABS pulsing before removing the caliper and flipping it and, sure enough, a couple of bubbles came out. So perhaps there's something in the ABS advice after all. Of course, a problem arises if you don't initially have enough pressure to trigger the ABS; you'd have to bleed it, reassemble everything, go for a ride to activate the ABS, then disassemble it all again to do the final bleed.
