Stu

do a rough work out gin and get all the info up im sure some would be interested

So after fitting this shock to my bike I sent the the bitubo back to the factory and they rebuilt it and sent it back for free! I have now test rode the bike with the r6 shock and I'm torn between the two! I don't know whether to fit the bitubo back to the bike or not as effectively its a new shock! These things are over 400 quid to buy now too I paid 360 for mine

for what reason? its just oil

well done Sue love the way the guy in the first pic is looking as if to say "WTF you doing you mad crazy woman"

You got any old engine oil? Use that works a treat and easy way to dispose of it There's loads of lube's or wax out there all as good as each other I prefer an oil as with wax or lube the road grit can stick to it and make a nice grinding paste to eat your chain away!

Never known them to be on the air box No it won't always keep running if the carbs are dry they need to fill up with fuel first with the choke on it will choke the air supply and it will run on very little fuel Is there any pipes on the bottom of the tank? Sometimes they are on the bottom and run inside the tank to the top

it does sound to me like a blocked breather it wont fire straight away as there is no fuel in the carbs so you have to drag that through first

Sounds like your better off without her! Good to see you back

If it happens on the way home open the tank then close it it will take a few turns to start as the carbs will be dry but if you have to wait for 20 mins or so like last time I don't think that the breather is the problem

Possibly has it started since you got the bag or have you always used it?

That could just be the overflow you will be able to blow through it as it doesn't actually go in the tank Some breathers are in the centre through the key hole lift the cap and there might be a hole in the centre

Push it in backwards?

Yeah it causes a vacuum and stops fuel coming out

Ride till it stops then open the fuel cap and see if it starts listen for a whoosh of air too as you open it Sounds like a blocked tank breather

Your going to have to remove bits and it will all become clear they will line up somewhere

Only 15 mins your doing something wrong

A photo would be good?

suppose it saves getting lighter wheels

I've got it in the car came free with the tyres My brother is a tyre fitter and says it does hold pressures better and doesn't leak out as easy as air. He runs it in his bike and over the past year has only topped the pressures up twice!

So you got the link then? If you haven't seen already if you scroll to the bottom you can see a link to go to the full site then you can see the chat link

You can but doesn't work on all mobiles and I dare say it won't work on your BB but worth a try you never know

There's only one way the air will come out that's why you have bleed nipples the air will always get stuck somewhere trust me I have done hundreds of brake systems from cars to bikes

Thanks Gin Thought it was time to keep up with all the technology

I think the 520 would be too big actually I'm sure they use a 520 on some 600cc bikes! If your unsure buy the correct size for your bike
