  4. A good shake can cause the piston's to go back in the caliper so you have to pump the brakes back up that's why he lifted the rear too through pumping the brake back up fast I've had it happen to me only the brake would come back for the corner and had to hope for the best!
  5. Hmmm I jigmj after a year the op would have figured it out!

    triumph tyre query

    that will not speed up your turn in you need a taller profile tyre and the profile is the 80 part of the tyre this is an aspect ratio of the 160 and 150 part of the tyre the taller the tyre the quicker it will turn so it works like this the side wall is 80% of the 160 or the 150 depending on the tyre you pick the 160 will stand taller then the 150 i would stick to the 160 personally
  17. dont quote me but im sure pod filters are a right twat to set up im sure others will know more
  18. im working its my one of 2 sundays on in 12 oh well
  19. nice write up voodoo nice to see you on here too as for the rear brake god knows what was up with it but it certainly wasn't right!! i wouldn't have been able to trust it to stop me not as good as my rear brake i can lock the rear brake on the TL two up this just didn't do a lot at all it could have been that it was a demo bike and abused or not used i dunno
  20. Screw bar ends in a little then give then a shove That way you don't loose the red things Also you can buy bar ends that don't actually screw in to anything some have rubbers that expand
  21. well this bike had 200 miles on the clock so suspension was still spot on but i recon it will go saggy as all suspension does but i probably would have to wind the front preload up a bit too as it did dive a bit when hard on the brakes i didnt really get chance to open it up with the missus on the back and when i did get chance to wind it on a tad i ran out of road really fast and yes i know what you mean about the weight it feels really light its unreal i expected it to be a bit of a barge i was really shocked and yes it does tick all the right boxes and can easily be used for every type of riding with ease when am i buying one well we will just have to wait and see for now but im hoping early next year depending on if things go to plan
  22. as above if you can support the front to get the weight off the steering and suspension you can easily check by pushing and pulling on the bottom of the forks
  23. vicki that was hog on the humber this is near bristol
  24. so i have just got back from a test ride on one of these and was only a 60 min ride so its first impressions really after riding a TL1000s for 5 years and sports bikes for 2 years before that i have not had experience of a sports tourer before so didnt know what to expect first of all its big!! the wheel base is huge compared to the TL and its a lot wider too so that im mind im thinking this is going to be a right pig to ride plus i had a pillion too so we sets off and instantly i felt at home on it!! it was really comfy i couldnt even tell i had a pillion it felt so light even lighter then the TL the engine is so powerfull low down its unreal any gear turn the throttle and it goes over takes no problem i didnt really rev it past about 5 -6k but i didnt have to! and the power delivery is really nice and smooth too suspension is really good too nice comfortable ride soaks up all the bumps but not too soft i comes to my first round about i could take at some speed and the bike just dropped in like it knew what it was doing and where to go as i came on to the roundabout there was a van coming on from another entrance and i thought he was going to just pull out i was too busy watching him i started to drift out when i realised it was so easy to correct my line it did it with no effort at all in the twisties it was just the same pick a line it will take it! the front brake was stunning just a little touch and it was shedding speed quicker then i could keep up with it the only bad thing i could find on the bike was the rear brake it was piss poor!! and the best part of all the missus loved it too would i get one....hell yes
