Stu

while i was out looking at boots today i was looking at leathers too seen some nice arlen ness ones at just under £500 but also whilst i was out i got a quote to have all the blue in my leathers took out and replaced with gun metal leather and some leather took out and replaced with kevlar in the back of the legs where they dig in all that is going to cost is £80 - £90 quid now just need to decide what to do what would you do

yup same here they where made really narrow for them little italians these ones dont feel too bad i will report back if they are shyte

sidi's have always crippled me but these ones are made a little wider and are a bit better

you sure its not the rev limiter

Hi and welcome to the site stick a post up in newbies and tell us a bit about yourself im from Hull and there is loads in and around hull Stu

do the revs stop going any higher when it does it ?

no not waterproof but im a puff and stay in when its wet they feel pretty comfy dont know what they are like on bike yet

thought i would treat myself seen as though mine are 4 year old and kill my feet http://www.ericpuryear.com/pics/sidi1.jpg

just for you phil

if you dont want her to know about it then you cant get her a helmet as you have to make sure they fit properly a nice kawasaki jacket would be good or how about some advanced training for her ? or a track day ? every one benifits from these and has a good enjoyable day what model kawasaki is her bike ? Stu ps welcome to the site

is it a bit hard to get into neutral from first sometimes ? that is a sure sign of worn star drive they dont last very long on the TL and the SV uses the same part

quote off their site thought it was illegal for them to supply the certificate

yes we know

if its at certain revs it could be carbs out of balance but the vibrations wont be that bad but carbs out of balance effect the slow running of the bike more then anything else i dont think it will be the fairing but could be a wheel bearing thats on its way out or even valve clearances i wouldnt go to the machanic who gave you a quote of £150 for a carb balance sounds like he is trying to screw you out of money ps pop in newbies and intruduce yourself too

£150 for a carb balance £30 from all the local dealers round here i do mine myself they are easy how bad is this vibration ? does it only do it at 80mph or at a certain amount of revs ? try 80mph in different gears

they do that so they have to come across and turn the alarm off so you can have a sit on it and they stand and talk to you while doing so and try and get a sale crafty buggers they are

i have a datatool S4 and its a very good alarm never used any others but heard horror stories about some

my lid http://www.extremebikeqatar.com/osbeimages/file_21.jpg very good lids IMO had it two years and its been excellent once they passed all the usual tests they decided to shoot this lid with a shot gun from a distance of 1 metre it only marked the outer shell so if someone shoots me i will be fine but as i say OSBE in my opinion are very good i have been looking for a new lid and was just thinking of getting another one of these

the most common one is a baglux tank cover made by errr baglux they are for tank bags so you can just clip the tank bag to them really quickly

it could also be a worn star drive which the SV is prone to just like the TL and SV1000

another excellent day and full weekend Gallery set up for pics so do your worst

when is MOT due craig ?

it will be fine come MOT time trust me if mine is ok as it is im certain yours will be

just take the front wheel in it will pass
