@Bendeigid In that case just stick with one of the 3 you have mentioned Does YSS and Hagon spring to your weight? Although saying that you are riding within the limits on the road and probably no need to go that for

Do you have span adjusters already? as this will alter the amount of pull you need on the lever

As has been said it depends on the type of riding you are doing I put progressive springs in the FJR and springs to me weight in the TL1000s that I had! both different bikes and both ridden differently but what I did notice is that for me the progressive springs where better for the road Rear shocks! For the TL I had a Bitubo shock which worked well but was expensive I then used a modified R6 damper with the stock spring and that was a huge improvement. On the FJR I replaced the rear spring using the stock shock again for a progressive one and that worked well too As for components I would use as much OE stuff as possible especially seals and bushes if you get Hyperpro springs they will come with their own oil and recommendations. When it comes to oil weight tread carefully as its not about the weight of the oil but on how it flows through the valves there is some good reading on viscosity and centistokes but its a minefield! usually its best to get a package from a specialist who has done all the leg work already You adjust springs to your weight and not the oil! the oil is there to control the speed that it moves! let the springs to the springing and the holding of weight and the oil do the controlling of the damping For rear shocks I would be looking at either nitron or hyperpro and hagon and YSS if budget can't stretch. All good shocks the first to are a bit better though Oh and weight is measured in all your riding gear

Check the play there should be about 5mm at the end of the lever Apart from that if it's not slipping on hard acceleration I wouldn't worry about it

I do miss my weekday rides! Certainly less crap being spouted at the cafes

It's pissed itself

Happy birthday

Get it plugged in and get the error codes read first

I was out on the bike on Sunday and while sat at a local biker cafe tucking in to my full english I was listen to a couple of youngish lads yapping away about bikes When one of them came out with a classic! Have you seen the new ZX6? I'm thinking of getting one it's got 1bhp more than yours so I will be faster All while he was twice the size of his mate anyone got any other similar stories to make us chuckle? I have heard too many to remember

I would come and watch! Pretty pointless sending mine down the strip to be fair

I think if it was a selector fork it would affect it all the time!

Check the side stand switch it could be sticking a bit and the messing about then putting it in second could have just allowed it enough time to come out Next make sure the clutch adjuster is set as per the manual and if the worm drive is worn then replace it! these have to be spot on otherwise they cause issues

Is she a feeder Or is she going to run you over on the walk to work

Yeah eating the food you are cooking won't help! Start leaving the car at home too!

I thought you had put the weight on to protect yourself from all the falls! I thought cholesterol was more to do with what you eat and not directly related to weight?

Hi and welcome Yes it means you have provisional for all those categories AM: Moped A: Motorcycle B: Cars FKP: tractors, road rollers etc

I used a set of oxford ones a fair few times and they was solid! The trick is to get them nice and tight and lifted up so they aren't sagging and flapping about I went to Germany on my TL1000s and I didn't even know they was there even at 150mph

Hi and welcome to the forum

Hi and welcome to the forum

Washing the bike does not remove acf50 easily it would take a lot of washes! It's designed not to be washed off It sounds to me like you have applied too much which is what I do all the time! Just leave it and wash the bike after each ride and eventually it won't be as bad

Like so

@Simon Davey When I had mine fitted it wasn't that high! I put the arms pointing down and tilted the spoiler to be up a bit more than the stick screen The idea is to create a disturbance in the airflow

Leathers in the cold! thats a no from me! leathers have too many perforations in to keep you cool in summer than in the winter you are just asking for it! Textiles all the way in the cold with plenty of layers and the heated seat and grips on I went out this morning and it was showing 1.5°c Well wrapped up and heated seat and grips on and it was fine and a really good 160 mile ride

Yes! Happy birthday to the forum! That's a lot of years! I remember the days leading up to setting it up and spending loads of time researching how to get it all going and off the ground! It was then a case of taking the plunge and just winging it! And here we are still winging it today Massive thanks to everyone over the years past and present who has made it what it is today
