Welcome aboard ZZR brother.. That may sound a bit creepy I have a ZZR, but it doesnt look that good

Good morning y'all

I hear Bianco is making a return to Eastenders..... Not Ricky though

As @Bender suggests, that's surely going to be a battery lead come loose.

Isn't 5W "better" than 10W? I thought it was to do with keeping viscosity under temperatures. A 5W 30 will keep it's viscosity at lower temperatures longer than 10W. I would be heading back to J&S

Welcome Duggie, a lot has changed indeed. When you open the garage door, that smell of a bike is the same though.

Welcome aboard, it's a friendly place.

Happy Birthday @Bianco2564

Good morning

Fast

Yes, that's the plan. Oddly enough, the more I do to this bike, and the more I ride it, even with issues, the more I think it's the dogs nadgers. That acceleration is addictive...

Had 2 hours in the seat today, and just on 2 occasions I hit 70Mph (ehem). Very surprised to find the airflow far more acceptable at higher speeds than at 50-60Mph. Depending on how much I have to spend on sorting out the running issues, I'm definitely going to buy a touring screen in the future.

TPS, Is that tyre pressure, temperature maybe? It's 19 years old and has carb's, not sure it's that sensitive. Thanks for your interest dear chap.

Nope, wasn't me guv The bar risers were already on there, to be honest, removing them has given me slightly more room and a little more comfort. Surprising for just 32mm difference. I'm now positioned how the designers, intended of course. It was only my 5th ride on it, so I'm still settling in to it.

Sooooo.. There am I, convinced the tension in the choke cable is causing my problem. I'm fiddling about and stroking the tank (as you do) and I realise that the handle bar risers for my clip-ons are causing the tension by pulling all the cables and wiring up another 32mm they weren't supposed to. Went to my brilliant local hardware shop and got 4off 8x30mm stainless Allen bolts. Only took 20 minutes to remove both risers and get the bars secured back down. What a difference! When I started her up to go out for a ride, I had to adjust the idle because when I let the choke off, it was fully off. Took her out for a couple of hours and hey presto, complete shite, in fact a little worse I'm going to leave it in the garage until the appointment it has with a proper mechanic. At least I've ruled out the choke, but as it's now slightly worse, the issue is looking like carburation.

Did you have a good anniversary, did you take yer missus with you?

Good morning Brrrrrr

If I leave the key lying around, it's so the thieves know which bike to take...

As per suggestions from @Gerontious and @geofferz Ignition on it's own, locks on one, and luggage on the other.

Interesting how the subtle changes are still very real, and exactly what would be found on a bike.

At least It'll only take an hour or so when you get the correct link.

Well, my extra key rings, carabiners and my ZZR 1200 key fob arrived today. I might even take a picture later.

Sod that! You do have my sympathy for sure. Don't forget to mask that serial number plate.

Whoop whoop, that flash was Joe85 going past
