  1. let it warm up which has already been said when was the oil last changed? it might need new oil personally i would check the action of the clutch lever cable and the clutch actuator followed by stripping the clutch and check the basket for signs of wear...the basket could be notched from lots of hard starts common on 400's which wont let the clutch plates move freely once all this is done then i would change the oil as you may need to drop the oil again if it doesnt cure it so check what you can first it could save you buying new new oil
  2. As its off 12 oclock I would indicate
  3. Stu

    I wet myself

    thats ace
  4. its in east park in hull google it
  5. really!!! its hard enough trying to stop some of our buses when a car pulls out in front of you at 30 so can you imagine what its like at 40!! then you have HGV's too! the speed limits are set for ALL vehicles not just cars and bikes Which is why these vehicles have different speed limits yes in the national speed limit areas a large vehicle can do 30 in a 30 and 40 in a 40 etc etc so if a built up area was changed to a 40 a HGV could go down their at 40 not something i would advise

  7. ...and get pulled for not displaying you would be suprised at how many people put it in their wallet even a copper i know and have you tried checking to see if a bike is displaying a tax disc whilst it is moving??? there is that many places people put them its too hard to check so you wont get "pulled" for not displaying
  8. if you want me to have a go for you post it to me i will happily strip it and rebuild it for ya
  9. i use the same caliper on my bike and not had no problems at all post it my way if you want
  10. if the calipers are looked after they are fine if you can get a good one strip it down clean everything up and use copper slip where its supposed to be i did my mates caliper over 7 years ago now and is still fine nothing seized you need to look after them though atleast once a year pull the pins clean them up and copper slip them
  11. almost all suzuki's have that same rear caliper
  12. and the pins will come out in other ways rather then drilling i did a rear brake on a bandit for a mate i ended up stripping the caliper and splitting it leaving the pins in at one side soaking in a pag of WD40 for a while followed by a little heat and pair of mole grips you can grip the pins when the other half of the caliper is out the way
  13. Why don't you all look them up properly as they have been designing and testing these for years and are as good a a tent with poles also they aren't easy to puncture and they are a honeycomb design so if they do puncture they won't go down
  14. It defo sounds like its restricted Otherwise it wouldn't rev out in some gears and not others As already stated you off to remove tank and airbox and carbs to rremove the washers it it really easy to do
  15. Stu

    outer forks

    if you can afford to have the bike off the road for about 2 weeks why not get a tin of silver paint and some laquer and strip the paint off and repaint them they will be as good as new then
  16. its probably some sort of breather and that filter type thing is a charcoal filter never need to touch it
  17. even if it is restricted it should rev all the way to the redline eventually does it rev freely when in nuatral? take it for a ride to warm it up fully stop somewhere and give it a nice handfull of revs and see if it goes past/to the red line it should do in nuatral also as someone else has said what is your location???? it could be that a member is just round the corner and can pop round to take a look
  18. i have fitted a gear indicator to a bike before but not a bandit you will need a haynes manual with a wiring diagram for your bike and just follow the instructions
  19. a bit of googling brings up the gsxr1000 k7 shock will fit the 600 and the 07> hayabusa can fit too
  20. the hayabusa shock fits some model not sure which though
  21. yup a jack up kit is what you want a lot of people jack them up because of this problem also adjust your pre load too so the shock doesnt bottom out
  22. now download this http://www.janboersma.nl/gett/index.php
