Stu

like i said any brake cleaner will do they are all the same they clean brakes

dont get bike specific cleaner as its the same as any other just costs more

spray it all over the brakes you can do it with the caliper still attached but its best to strip it down so you can get right in there

its designed to remove any grease and residue off pads and disks and remove brake dust too

it evaporates so leaves nothing behind

muck off is good for cleaning your bike but just go to halfords or somewhere and get a brake cleaner

its a very strong solvent and obviously is for cleaning brakes

try not to get it on plastic as it can melt it

moved to pitstop

get some brake cleaner remove caliper remove pads give the caliper and pads a good clean check bolts on the brake disk check to see if you have anti squeel shims on back of pads these are very thin bits of metal apply a thin smear of copper slip to back of pads replace pads and take for a test ride

also make sure theres enough meat on the pads if no joy buy some new pads

Me 2 lol, I'm use to walking in the cold so riding will be an upgrade anyway Specially with a nice helmet on

its actually colder on a bike as you get the wind chill

at 0°c the wind chill at 30 can make it feel like -24°c

shouldnt this be in pitstop ?

might be up for that stu if you don't mind - seeing as we've not met!

might have long weekend that w/end so will be home. might be able to find out for def tomorrow

oh - can you get tickets on the door or do you have to pre book?

not been before.

yeah bigsis will arrange something if your going

think tickets are a couple of quid more on the door

seen as though its a 2008 model i would go straight back tou your delear and get it done under warrantte

no point poking at it if you can get it done for free as if you mess it up they will charge you to put it right

anyone going on sat 6th then ?

sorry i have left my crystall ball at work today

can you tell us what bike it is please

was there not a registration list on this before ???

if not lazy ar*e admin/mods pretty please with list of dates etc

sadly AndyW

not possible on mine!!!!

it just lifts the full bike up people have been having the problem for years well since 1997 actually

i WILL make something to work

yup i made one

the only problem with my bike now i have no way of lifting the front so i can remove the forks and yolkes

i will make something over winter to do that

it "might" be the overflow on the carb which "could" mean the float hight needs setting

i dont really know much about the bike to be honest

yam for me fz6

i think rennies bike is a 96? fireblade i dont think they had the HISS then

size 13 boot shop ?

most places should order them in for you

they have got one thing right on there

theres no humberside

if it was in the afternoon then i would say yes as wife is at work from about 3

oh and i would have been in car too

remember you only loose 2 years NCB not all of it

so if your old like rennie who probs has 20 million years i dont think it would make much difference

just means you have a claim against you and the cost of excess which could probably pay for it

can you not get the insurance to sort that aswell ?

or would it have to be under the bikes insurance

anyway i would get a whole new lock set ( ebay )
