I had known that after adjusting the chain the brakes need to be adjusted. The two systems are interconnected in a way that I am simply not aware of unless I do a complete teardown of a motorcycle (which actually sounds like a good idea).
So I went outside and adjusted my rear brake and rewarded with a working motorcycle!
Yay me!
The chain still needs to be adjusted, but it is a working motorcycle, and the chain is not as loose as it once was.
So I have once again been riding everywhere on it, but with the weather getting colder, I have to be careful.
I had already added the inner liner to my jacket a few weeks ago, and just last week dug out the really good gloves for the really cold weather.
Despite my precautions, I was surprised to discover that I was freezing on the way home from Media Team practice one evening last week.
Several days later I was surprised to find that the vent liners in my arms were open.
Ok.
That would explain why I was sooo cold.
I have a tendency to unzip the vents in my arms when I first put in the liner in my jacket. This is because the warmth of the liner is not needed all the time, but when it is needed, I can't stop and put in the liner. So the vents in the arms unzipped and the cold and warmth balance out, except that I had forgotten they were unzipped.
Ok. Got to work that.
Still looking for the camera cable, so no pictures yet.
Ta!
