Stu

cheers for that DTM

im going to get the proper mount as mine never came with one and use the proper cable hard wired to the battery and see how it goes

techno if i get chance i will pop across and take a look between now and feb save you going to the garage

thats me i just buy the best cheapest one i can find ~(halfords clearance) route 66 mini/maxi never paid more than 60 for one ok so i killed 2 so far

so you have had to buy 3 ? at say £60 each so thats £180 at this rate you may aswell have bought a tomtom rider at £250

Stu have a look here supposed to be a good site for tom tom updates

TC thanks for the link but its already in my favs

they do a great bit of software so you can plan routes using google maps works ace

Speaking as an owner of one... be warned, they tend not to charge successfully on bike.

I use a cigarette lighter socket (i use universal 12v plugs same as the bikes optmate plug) so I can plug it in and charge it on the run if I have to.

Great bit of kit though m8. especially fun when you use it to get lost!!!! Pin in the map sort of thing...

yeah i have heard some bad things about the charging system before im sure i can fettle with it

i like the pin in the map game

If you type 'Motocomm' into Youtube there's a load of videos from people using these cameras. Albeit older models, the sound quality doesn't sound too good though....

sound quality never is great from even the best of these

also dont forget they have to be edited and done at a low quality for youtube

dont bother with the WD40

it will chase what oil is in there out and dry out quicker

just drop some old engine oil in it will be fine

well if thats the case im sure i could pop down between now and feb and take a look for you

no promises though im not a sparky

topbox. looks great

hmmmm

those two should never be used in the same sentance

glad your sorted

adjust valve clearances is that a hard job stu...........hint hint

depends on the bike

Come and do my bloody electrics

i will have a look if your not in no rush for the bike ?

not sure when i have time off

it needs some stuff doing

like

adjust valve clearances but when you do that you have to balance throttle bodies and before you do that you have to set throttle position sensor then it needs seting up on a dyno, also needs new oil in steering damper (or new one)

i want a new rear shock and new fork springs and all new wheel bearings

not done any track days on it YET

as phatdad said

cos i can

also i like to know my bikes are in tip top form

phatdad its a lock up me and my dad and a few others rent

Suzuki

well i went and bought it

just need to buy a bike mount as he has lost that but there cheap

the only bit thats missing is the bike mount

they are cheap enough to buy

comes with a car mount though which i would have to buy if i got any other

bigsis

dont you ever go to seaways at fridaythorpe ?

his tea and coffe is better the squires and better roads round there too

really it should be in clothing and accesories

will let a mod move it

me get lost? never

i just get temporarily missplaced

might give it some thought!!

i cant skate though

 

Hmmm im sure i heard that before!!

Before u skated off like Christopher Dean!! If you're going, im hanging onto you... you make me look good!

one of these vicki

sat nav for bike

waterproof bike mount use with gloves on etc etc

used to use my mobile but its a bit slow and can easily miss turns

might give it some thought!!

i cant skate though

anyone think £100 is cheap for a second hand tomtom rider version 1 ?

going to look at it tomorrow

the cheapest i can see the version 2 at is £250

well time to get the bike ready for the summer

first job swap my EU headlight for the UK one i won on ebay 5 min job

next on the list

adjust valve clearances, set throttle position sensor, balance throttle bodies, get it set up on a dyno, check steering head bearings, new oil in steering damper (or new one) save for new rear shock and fit that, then save for new for springs and fit them and hopefully re valve forks but that could run into the summer, all new wheel bearings plus a few extra little things along the way

started off like this

currently like this for now

will post more pics as time goes on

a good old can of pop is what i have when i go

they cant tamper with it then

check tyre pressure if it feels heavy

glad your sorted

alarm could have gone into sleep mode to save battery

battery could be too flat to power the bike

yes it might spark but doesnt mean you have enough power

have you got a set of jump leads ? connect it to your car and try it but DO NOT START THE CAR this will rule out the battery
