I can't say I have ever heard of them to be honest! I am a fan of DID, Tsubaki and Renthal and it would be one of those that I would always go with

Which has always been the advice anyway I don't think 6 months laid up will pose problems to be honest

I have only ever had 1 item fail from the halfords range I have and that was a torx key But I did have a 24 inch breaker bar on it with a scaff pole attached making it about 6 foot long!! Took it in and they replaced it with no issues And the bolt had to be drilled out!

This has always being a long debated subject when it crops up that ethanol in fuel is bad and destroys "all" rubbers which it can do in prolonged use but only on certain motorbikes or cars. So as from September 2010 E10 will become the standard 97-RON unleaded in the UK which I believe is replacing the E5 95-RON which means rather than having a max of 5% ethanol it will have a minimum of 5.5% and maximum of 10% Although E5 will still be available in the form of super unleaded Why ethanol? well its burns like petrol and will reduce CO2 emissions by 750,000 tonnes per year. While ethanol burns like petrol its higher octane that's probably why its upping 95 RON to 97 its actually less energy dense Pure petrol's energy density is 34.2 megajoules per litre while ethanol is 24 megajoules per litre E10 comes in at 33.18 MJ/L Not a great difference but that means less MPG by about 1-2% While ethanol mixes with petrol and does not separate which is good it also attracts water which is bad! if bikes or cars are laid up for a length of time the ethanol the ethanol can absorb water even from the air and the fuel can undergo a phase separation where the ethanol and water mixture separates from the petrol and sinks to the bottom of the tank which can cause rust and ethanol over time can become acidic corroding aluminium, zinc and galvanised metals. It can also react with plastics and rubbers if left for a length of time too which some bikes have plastic fuel tanks like the 2003 - 2011 Ducati Monster, Multistrada, Sportclassic, Streetfighter, Superbiker and hypermotard which Ducati had replaced on affected bikes. This was more of an issue in the USA as they have been using 10% ethanol since 1978 and has been standard for a decade. There is a E10 compatibility list available on the gov website

For anyone wondering what's been going on Some of xtremes cronies think its great to come on here and be twats one of them is @Manwithadog Claims he lives in Devon and rides a Royal Enfield Bullet but in reality he is from Scotland and rides a Harley and goes by the name of buckster on xtremes forum! So @Manwithadog accusing us of being childish on here is really just a load of bollocks when he is the one playing silly games just like the rest of them! There is some silly old fools about

Would you have changed @Manwithadog's name to buckster too?

Looks great

A standing bike sometimes does lose a bit of pressure over time Also the rear tyre may well not be sealed on the rim correctly. Have you thought about having it taken off and the rim cleaned and tyre re fitted? and get a new valve at the same time

You don't know the first thing about me and are making things up so you crack on like the rest of the loonies Carry on playing the victim like they all do!

D- for trolling You must try harder Go report back to him like the rest do. off you trot PS why are you stating you're from Devon when your clearly posting from Scotland and have done since you joined? Amateur

Must have been to put up with the previous bull shit for so long Thanks for getting pissed

Is it a summer house

Happy birthday have a good one

I don't reckon I know Must think we are f**king stupid

yeah 3 forums I think and they all went to shit and closed Yeah a real good guy that tried to destroy this place Also I don't know how he helped you out as he was gone before you joined! maybe you are thinking of someone else

If only people knew the truth instead of believing lies eh

Who told you that?

What a twat @Six30 is

No one this time! maybe he never drank enough

Surely if your son has hit a bike I presume the bikers was blaming him? if so why did they not exchange details? I suspect the bike could have been dodgy in which case I think you may struggle

Are they bikers or dicks on bikes! I'm going with the latter Hope you get it sorted

May as well not have a screen

A 1000cc has the same power as the 900 if you use the throttle right with a bit extra to spare Pics when you pick up the 1000 please

No but this has been handed in to lost and found

I thought it was just you that went to those types of places where you throw all your keys in a bowl
