Now commencing Operation Clean Intruder

Here is a few photos of my bike when it used to be clean, soon to be looking this good again: watch this space

That's not the Intruder you came to the ace cafe on Joe? 

No Sim, here is the bike I came on...

 Hmm, pretty dirty

 

oh the neglect your a bad man Joe

Is the yellow colour permanent or can it be polished up?
I'm going to wrap the pipes anyway so it doesn't really matter.

Good for you jo , real shame to see an intruuder looking so unloved. You have a beauty there jo lets see her at her best again

It'll be permanent Joe, you might get some of it off using chrome cleaner? it'll come back though due to the heat.

Nearly done now, my F.I tuner pro arrived today 

Good on you for cleaning her and adding the (Healtech) FI tuner Pro at the same time.
Cleaner bikes always run better.

Playtime!!!  Looking forward to seeing your bike in it's original glory 

Tin of Blue job(not cheap) on amazon.I used it on a distressed 03 model, worked for me.Use it sparingly,it requires lots of rubbing

Just installed the f.i. tuner but I haven't plugged it in and run the software as I don't have a laptop. Piece of cake to install. First test ride was the ride to work this morning, though im not sure if it kicks in until you've run the software, but it felt noticeably smoother when changing gear. Bike should come like this out of the factory, feels so much easier to ride.

Does anybody know what I should use to attach the exhaust wrap? Ive been round the hardware shops but I cant find a hose clamp with a large enough diameter, and haven't seen any metal zip ties either.

Ensure you change the RPM Calibration to what it needs to be on the Healtech FI tuner screen that comes up when you attach you laptop.

Joe I have just checked back through my notes and find that the RPM calibration needs to be set at 22, hope this helps.

Joe stop changing the subject and show us how clean your bike is now!  

Yeah I expect the Fi Pro is really clean.

I think Joe's give up on the cleaning, And he's going to wrap the full bike with Exhaust wrap? That's why he needs such a big hose clamp  
ps. B&Q do large hose clamps 50-70mm and 90-110mm £5 for two from memory

I get you Sim... the "Egyptian Mummy" project 

  Give the guy a break, and I don't mean his shoulder 

Mate the front half of my bike is sparkling now...   I'm sure I'll get round to the rest

Thanks for the Rpm calibration Dave I'll get on to that tomorow

Ok so now the bike is clean again


And also I've wrapped the exhaust with the gold magmawrap

Wow... looks brand new again. Good job

Looks like you got your hose clamps.

If other members are looking for some - eg for screen lowers - here's an alternative type of hose clamp .... stainless and quite chunky...

Love the reincarnation of your bike, looks bloody brilliant again. A real credit to you for sure, a great advertisement for theses beautiful bikes. 

like the wrapping joe looks cool

thanks guys, I knew it would be a job worth doing :)

Looks well, cleaned up a treat! :)

That's better Joe  Those pipes really suit the exhaust wrap
