  1. Should really do it every year. Its no different to the engine and the valves/shims will gunk up making the bike handle like shit.
  2. The only place its ever helped is devils elbow at mallory park.
  3. And it feels way more natural to change in 1up 5down I was doing some work on my RVF 400 years ago and me and my friend accidentally put it back in race shift, once I'd worked out what we'd done I kept it like that for a week then changed it back, if I'd have gotten used to it I think it would be ok, can see why people who race or do a lot of track days prefer it. I thought the switch would be hard and take some getting used to. I can only remember one time where i clicked the wrong way.
  4. but how often do you use 1st on a race bike ? pulling away and that's about it Hairpins, if you leave it in second when you should be in first you will drop down the grid rapidly.

  6. Stick the peanut butter ontop of a bucket or a pile of bricks. The rat will still get it but the headgehog wont.
  7. In which case you remove or otherwise deal with any access to a food supply so the rats are forced to eat poisoned bait. And tell your warehouse people that doors must be kept secure when not in use or unattended. if rats can get in so easily then so can thieves and Im sure you wouldn't hesitate to take steps if you were robbed. if equipment walked out the door. Poisions are only any good if the rats eat it and its changed for a diffrent poison regular, if anyone farms maize local then poisons don't work. A old bloke asked if i could shoot a few rats in his barn because the poison wasn't working and he was feeding them it in the kilos. In 3 nights two of us shot over 200 rats, well we killed quite a few with shovels because they would run up our legs
  8. The way we used to shoot them as kids was to mash some tinned catfood up so there was no lumps. Smear it on a brick and then shoot them at dusk/dark using a lamp. If the farm had a light that could be left on we would leave it on for a few nights and throw food down so they wasn't bothered with the lights and we didn't have to take a lamp. Flat head pellets are the best for rats, keep it to about 20m.
  9. Just had a look and it looks like there is no new ones.
  10. My dad hates me riding. The amount of times ive crashed you would think he would be used to it by now. Il watch the videos, its happend so me watching it isn't going to change anything. I might even learn something.
  11. Donny has loads of run off and gravel in the right places. Just book on and enjoy yourself. Let 5/10 psi out of the tyres, drink water and dont have a massive lunch.
  12. No need to do loads of trackdays. I know lads who have only ever done 1 trackday and they run with the front pack. That's what I was unsure of, I didn't know if you needed track experience before doing the race licence . That must have just been how he went for it. Nah just jump in and have fun.
  13. Yer me riding around at 50mph and dodging potholes isn't my idea of fun.
  14. No need to do loads of trackdays. I know lads who have only ever done 1 trackday and they run with the front pack.
  15. 50% of the advice is bull shit. Its up to you to figure it out. Most trackdayers talk crap.
  16. Forget insurance, its a waste of paper. The ron haslem thing is more of a taster. Book a day and hire a bike if you don't want to risk your road bike. As for the racing, road miles count for nothing, fast lads on the road are at best fast novices on the track. Get on a TD and see if you enjoy it first. Then book onto an acu course, get an eye test and join a club. Then go racing. Im at brands 27th/28th/29th if you want a chat.
  17. I was toying with the idea of doing the elite one in the summer, on fireblades, but I really need to get more practice in. Perhaps I'll do one of the cheaper ones first on 600's before progressing to a true monster bike. Hire a trackbike (£240ish) it includes all fuel and tyres etc and book a day in novice group. 100% you will learn more doing it that way.
  18. They couldn’t punish him anymore because of the poor decision with cannet in Moto 3 practice.
  19. Rossi has done the same over the years and taken people down. Its racing, rossi left the door open and marc took the oppertunity, like you do in a race. Ive hit other bikes and been hit myself. The worse move was the 1st rider he hit. Zarco caused pedrosa to break bones, binder crashed into navvaro. It was a drying track, it makes the passing closer. The start was a complete **** up, cleverly bending the rules, feel sorry for jack because he should of won by a country mile. Then #93 stalling on the grid, if he started from pit lane like you should for stalling on the start then he would of only had a 7/8 second disadvantage and would most likely of won been 2 seconds a lap faster then the others. It made good viewing though.
  20. Pretty sure brembo M/c bleed nipples are 11mm
  21. Im also type 1. 3 year licence, yearly eyetest and medical for my race licence. No biggy, just stick some needles in my arse a few times a day. Im fitter and stronger then i ever have been. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/vtrdonk/IMG_20171014_195558_443_zpsilfsnoyc.jpg
  22. Align the "T" mark on the ignition pulse generator rotor with the index mark on the right crankcase cover. - Make sure that the timing marks on the cam sprockets are facing outward and flush with the cylinder head upper surface. If its half a tooth then its probaly just because the chains streched. I never removed the cams, theres just enough room to lift the buckets if you push the cams out of the way.
  23. Iirc from doing mine ones intake and ones exhaust. A manual should tell you.
  24. The chains skipped a tooth. How did you lift the buckets? Did you remove the cams or just push them out of the way?
