    20200708_113312.jpg Replace pulse generator , test ride , burn off a tank of petrol, enjoy the balmy summer evening with very little traffic on the roads. A bit surreal, but very happy the bike is fixed.

What awesome customer service. Big shout out to those guys. While I was waiting for my suspension I installed a high fender and Rottweiler intake. I also did the Rottweiler quick release glove box. I love this bike. After coming from Honda’s, and BMWs I think I finally found my brand.

    Dug it out after four months of being buried in the back of the garage. Poured gas in it, lubed the chain, pumped up the tires, restarted reg/insurance, and went for a ride!
    Longest I've been off a bike in 10 years. Ended that one today.

    Installed the side stand relocator kit from charlienut, sorry didn't take a picture :)
    Easy to do and gives some peace of mind.

    That wrap looks great. Buy a rattle can of color that’s a close match and tape off/ spray small uncovered sections to cover old graphics. Just end at a seam with long straight lines.

    It’s supposed to look ridden and not a garage queen.

    That bike is a tribute to Meoni who won Dakar on a race version of that bike.

    KTM would have loved to come out with that scheme but legally could not. You have the best of all worlds.

    Got given the wrong rear pads by the shop and only figured it out half way through a swap, ~10.xmm thick instead of ~7.6mm thick. Hmm

    Managed to bend the retaining plate and that popped out. I guess now I need to take the whole caliper off to get that plate back in? Any tips?

    #3? If so, no need to take caliper out. Get a good led flash light so you can see and it should clip into place.

    Fitted a fresh skidplate. The only clean part on the bike at the moment.

    @Looks good, where did you get it? Still running the stock plate and looking around whats available.

    O and these bikes shouldn't be to clean :)

    Nice one Genesis!

    Thanks for posting. Hadn't heard of Adva before. Just bought a sump guard and storage box quick release from David. Looking forward to getting it.
