Hi guys,

Been on a ride out with a mate today who has a hawk exhaust fitted to his KTM, sounds like a beast.

Been wanting to get a new exhaust for a few months anyway as my downpipe is rusted up Looking for some suggestions or any guidance from anyone thats changed one.

At the moment as it says in the title I'm swaying towards a Tyga performance(probably in the carbon design) Heres a link

good service when i ordered my handlebar from them, although, when i binned my bike on sunday, there were cheaper places to buy replacement indicators(read:ebay)

Good service but not always the cheapest would be my summary

New Trivium album 'Vengeance Falls'

Bought tickets to go see them at the start of February too

new handlebar fitted Had a bit of trouble removing old one until we realized there was a spring clip

Feels a lot better despite being only a small difference angle-wise. Would anyone be interested in seeing the ever-so-slightly bent old bar?

don't worry, been on youtube

ordered some gold fren ones from ebay today, £12.75 so not bad

certainly looks like lack of brake pads to me lol

my main concern at first was i wasn't sure they were the same shape or for the same bikes. I didnt realise they were just a different brand

Am i right in guessing that it is brake pads that I need though? Certain metal on metal rubbing sound coming from my back wheel.

Any other possibilities other than that?

and thanks for all the replies guys

Hi guys, think my rear brake pads are totally worn out now. There's a certain metal-on-metal rubbing sound coming from rear wheel, unless there are any other suggestions from anyone?

But yeah, gone to look at getting some replacements, and am faced with a Kyoto standard or an EBC standard. Whats the difference and is there any way of checking which i need without removing my old pads to compare?

thanks all, busy with work tomorrow instead lol Will report back

No....don't remove the Huge hexagonal bolt.......unless you want a fork spring to hit you in the face......

thank you loosen then or will the handlebar just slide on and off then be kept in place as said earlier by that single bolt on the underside

Will the huge hexagonal bolt need to be removed? Going to be changing them tomorrow evening after work

any advice for removing the throttle control? guessing its going to be rather tight?

or is it just a case of brute force and ignorance?

as promised

will do first thing tomorrow morning

Hi guys. Having followed advice given in another thread, I bought me a new single handlebar. Looking at it it seems quite simple, a couple of screws on the controls to loosen then slide off, re-tighten on new handlebar but would like to have a read through or watch a video of someone doing this. I've searched the only place i know to look for this kind of stuff which is youtube and found nothing.

Hoping someone on the off chance has done it in here

cheers

ok thanks adam

thanks for all the replies guys

what are these clip-on's though? Whats the difference between the conventional ones? Please don't reply, 'they clip on '

Hi guys,

Had my CBR125 MOT'd today but they noticed that my right handlebar is slightly bent; possibly from it being dropped by a previous owner.

I'm looking for advice on where to get them from if anyone has any go-to places for parts. I've tried eBay but struggling to find any from the right year(2008) and any more advice on how to actually do it would also appreciated. It appears to be just a couple of bolts to undo.

combination of woman driver who let a truck out and said truck driver.

I was on far side of the road, I was too close to let the truck out but she stopped and flashed him out and he decided to assume I'd stopped aswell, which i hadn't. Opened throttle a bit to get past -.-

Anyone near? I'm just down the road in Irlam although I haven't done my CBT yet and only have a 125 lol. Maybe in the future

ok tango will do, won't be until thursday evening at the earliest though after my CBT

atm the biting point is close to where the lever is when theres no pressure on it. with a whole lot that doesn't do much close to the handlebar

No Stu, I've not ridden on the road yet, and @Tango the lever is very loose, a lot of play; I thought that to myself this morning but didn't think about any problems that could cause. Could the clutch not being correctly adjusted also cause the problem where the bike will not change from 1st to 2nd? as if something is blocking the lever from moving up far enough to change?
