  1. Can of chain lube £8, large bottle of cheapo gear oil £3, oil lasts forever, doesn't fling off anymore than spray on lube. Last two chains on mine have lasted 25000 miles. No contest.
  2. Here you are. Post some pics when you get them.
  3. The people who buy/lust after these probably close the curtains and entertain themselves over pictures of Susan Boyle, the fact that North Yorks police have a unmarked one is quite telling, as they also seem a bunch of wa**ers.
  4. Not to mention the state of the nanny.
  5. Coldest spring for 50 years? Will there be any allowances for shrinkage? (males only).
  6. Would need to see the frozen bits before advising which vest the most suitable.
  7. Ditto in Leeds. Just need to finish putting bike together, too cold to be fiddling in garage right now. But just needs tank and swinging arm fitting then hopefully good to go.
  8. Had a GS750 back in the day, mate had a identical one. Rode like loons everywhere (ok was younger then and roads empty). Great bikes, great engines. Mate sold his, then bought it back as he couldn't bear to see it being ridden so slowly. Think he's still got it somewhere.
  9. Got some touch up for my RSV here. Perfect match. http://www.bikecolours.com/
  10. Depends what the end can is made of. Autosol can make a real mess of some finishes.
  11. Autosol is abrasive and puts scratches in..There are non abrasive polishes on the market. Sure someone know's which.
  12. When I saw the title, I thought it was a rally for failed porn stars.
  13. Gericke still had some blue tooth helmets in stock this last weekend at reasonable price. Or http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/4603/bluetooths.jpg Good luck for your imminent arrival, the next 20 yrs will evaporate.
  14. Oh, I read it wrong, I thought he rode commando with just his boots on.
  15. Nightmare, surprised Suzuki are still using those bolts. Had exactly same problem years ago (GSXR1100) and ended up loosening the engine bolts, to twist the engne so as to gain access to them, then heated them up with a blow torch to get them all out except 1 why is there always 1 f**king, s***** bolt that won't move. Had to drill that out.
  16. I'm considering some shorty type footwear, as the standard long boots are uncomfortable when you get to where you're going. Had a ride to Beamish last year, and because that place so big, I was crippled after walking about all day in the bike boots.
  17. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-SV650-1999-02-CHAIN-ADJUSTER-61410-33D00-GENUINE-/320961508119?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4abacbf317
  18. It's a 'motorbike'. Sorry, I dunno, try chain adjuster bracket.
  19. I fancied a flip front helmet until knocked off recently. This was the result at 20 mph. My helmet (Schuberth) had its visor torn clean off, you can see what happened to pillions. Put me off getting a flip front, and would never consider an open face (which is what you'd have).
  20. Typical Chinese pap. That kit is the one that was being given away free by a magazine last year. Got one in my garage. Sorry.
  21. These are mostly around the Blackpool area. *links to other forum removed - see forum rules*
  22. Saw one near the east coast last year. Sounded really nice as it passed.
  23. 2 strokes, despite being simple, are very finicky. Could be lots of things, even the crank oil seals which have failed which causes the symptons you described.
  24. As above, but dn't be tempted with unknown makes from ebay etc, as they're lethal.
