Good to know! I was aware of the 1st of May, but I did know about the carnival risks. Better to stay home today

Hey Everyone! May's Bike of the Month challenge is now open for entries!
What Did You Do On Your Multistrada Today?
I'll Start:
I installed T-Rex front & rear axles and frame sliders I got off Ebay all for $122. Overall I am very happy with the quality, hopefully I'll never report how well they actually work.

It really depends where you’re based… I live in the old town of a village that really goes hard on the Carnival, and my house is right at the end of the parade.
The weather was amazing this weekend, I was pissed I did not have the bikes at home to go for a ride.

Went for a decent ride on my new, (to me), 2013 1200S.
From Adelaide down to Murray Bridge on the Freeway and then up to the river lands, Loxton, across to Waikerie and then looping back down to Swan Reach to get the ferry back to the West side of the river and home via Sedan, Birdwood, the Onkaparinga Valley Road and finally the Freeway back into town. All up it was 525kms door to door.
The Duc performed perfectly and didn't miss a beat. First Multi I've owned after a lot of GS and GSA's and on bitumen equally as much fun to ride and just as capable at gobbling up the miles. This was a stop on the 'silo art trail' as it's known, a small settlement called Karoonda that probably wouldn't exist except for being on the rail line.

Fitted a Evotech screen level satnav mount so I could move my Zumo XT from it bar clamp mount up nearer to eye level. I got it 2nd hand with a quadlock mount , the latter I fitted to the bar clamp mount. I also fitted a stock V4 front mudguard in place of the original carbon! Why ? IMO the painted stocker looks better than the very plain looking matt carbon , though I may have been less inclined to swap if they had made the carbon weave more visible & used a gloss finish (tart?). Next is getting my spare set of wheels powder coated, just need to decide on a colour.
Been working on my "low oil pressure light at idle when warm" issue. (2006 MS 620). New pressure switch didn't help. Tried 15W-50 synthetic. Helped quite a bit, but still have the light at idle. Light now extinguishes at 1700 rpm instead of 2500. Engine is fairly quiet, but still wish that light would stay out.
