Your a star pal thanks for that, none of the pdf's ever work when I click on them but this one does brill! Will come in very handy thanks again Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I warmed it and left it draining while tilting the bike every now and then. I never even found that the other day all the manuals won't let me download them. Think I'm gonna finally buy a Haynes manual Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

If you ask my mate he will prob say that's how it's supposed to be like his r6 I have told him it's shagged but he refused to believe, lol Stock unit someone has removed should be just fine as a replacement or there's plenty of upgraded parts out there Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Rant warning********** Decided to service the bike the other day. Couldn't remember oil quantity from last service, looked on engine casing and it says 2200ml well that's handy Bike is gsxr k6 750 I had 600ml left in a bottle from last oil change so I go sportsbikeshop and buy 2l of oil and a filter. Get back drain oil remove filter go to install filter........ wrong! In store comps listed it wrong. Not a prob popped back swapped went and fitted. Poured in 2200ml of oil left for 5 mins and checked level, wasn't in sight glass so I keep topping up until I run out of oil, still not in sight glass. Shops now closed so I go online, its all American an they are talking quarts and random litreage (as us litre is less) best I could find was 2.9 litres not 2.2 Ring halfrauds but they don't stock the oil so go home in the car instead. Done the responsible thing when home and checked owners manual, which says 2.5l......... no! As I have 2.6 in there and it's barely at minimum. So bought another litre following dat topped off and got it to 2.9l in the end. Normally I just buy 4l and keep pouring until full but thought I would save some dosh and buy just enough. Well at least now I know but spoilt my plan of a ride out that night. How can the owners manual be wrong? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Spot on. Licencing wouldn't help. Are the overstretched police going to stop dog walkers asking to see their licence? Of course not. And even if they did, and found the owner to not have a licence, what would they do? Impound the dog in the already overcrowded rescue centre? Or simply crush it like they do cars... My cat draws more blood from people than my dogs ever have or would. My cat should be on the dangerous dogs list. Mine too, my cats evil when she's playing, nothing malitous, but cats don't have a dangerous list. Trouble is this dangerous dog problem has been allowed to escalate so far that its past a remedy. I don't believe in dangerous breeds only irresponsible owners not socialising their dogs, miss treating or bad training/ training to be viscous. It's not the dogs fault yet thousands are destroyed every year and owners walk with a slap on the wrist. We have a staff and yorkie at my family home, me and my brother bought the staff when we lived there partly as a therapy dog for my step dad and it worked a treat, well behaved and a soppy family pet, and welcomed the hyper active, licky, happy yappy yorkie with open paws. He lays with my niece (5months) and lets her 'pet him' and I won't think twice about letting him near my lil one that should arrive next week because he has been raised right (now 8) I say euthanise the scummy tw**s that get the dogs for status symbols or that think a dog is actually for xmas Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Perception of hazards and avoiding them comes with the territory of being on the road. I have closer calls daily yet it's not worth pulling up along side people. Do it to the wrong person in a 2 ton ramming tool and it won't matter who's in the wrong. Just enjoy the freedom learn what you can and when real close call comes thank the Lord above when you get in safe and sound. Bikers don't need any more camera warriors out there getting on cagers tits. Wear one by all means for documentation Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I have pr3's on my gixer can't rate them enough they are a 2ct last ages, good grip and predictable Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I ride all year round. You just have to adjust riding style for the conditions, think about your gear on the cold rides, can you be seen since its getting dark earlier? There's no harm in putting your foot down to test the surface while riding along to get an idea of grip ect. Key is keep it smooth! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Having alot of fun. Its as difficult as I thought it would be but i'm getting there. Going to try this for a few hours every week to get myself more relyant on foresight and observation than relying on a brake system that wont be the same whatever bike I have from here till the last day. Il make sure to gopro it next time so we can all have a laugh Good lad, it all gets easier the further you look ahead and pre empt what the other road users are going to do, mind reading is a valuable skill out there lol

I want to add..... Fairplay unseen your taking this on the chin, many have come in asked for brutal honesty lost the plot and poppa smurf has had to hit the ban button. Look into something like bikesafe or a das course and you will be taught all the finer points. Trouble is on a cbt you may hve prior road usage but thats it a car ect and there is many differences. Try this...... Do a journey (maybe not a commute through central london) and try not to touch your brakes, this will teach you approach speed, judgment and forward planning

Trouble is london is s**t for riding or driving. Everyone is as bad as everyone else and its just blind luck more than anything that people dont get killed or injured more than they do. You will learn either the hard or easy way but imo you need some hazard avoidance and defensive riding training. Piling along a road because you can doesnt mean you should, theres a time and place and better 5 mins late in this life than early in the next. Im not a squeaky clean rider, yes i speed and yes i have great fun out there but on country roads not through towns and cities

I think their shape is they get narrower at the back IIRC. That's why the HJC is slack on you......it's for roundheads. Yh i dont have a round head lol, i use it for to and from work and the agv for the weekends now

Agv head for me, my hjc is a bit slack on my head and next size down dont fit. I bought a ls2 for my first lid, £45 and not a bad helmet with all the stickers for safety. But wished i didnt order online as i could have done with a different size. Buy try and send back if wrong

I was in the library computer room at school when the librarian came running in turning the tv on crying that the twin towers had been blown up, i remember thinking whats a twin tower.....

My thoughts exactly, i feel ashamed i moved up t' north ish

I dug out my waterproofs earlier too. Can we re arrange for a Sunday? As I work sat morns and was gona have to rush about. I have a baby arriving soon so hopefully it won't conflict or the other half will kill me for going to the meet and not being at the birth Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Might be getting a ticket sorted so a maybe from me

I replaced two on my last gixer, they are common enough to be faulty

One of the members last year rode from liverpool on his 125 for the meet then rode back

Ill be there

A means to an end

I work sleep or eat when not riding and usually think about riding

Mirror, signal, lifesaver, manouver

I was taught some filtering and was told i was expected to make progress where i could 'if' the examiner was on a bike. He wasnt so i didnt filter he asked me not to atthe start of the test because he knew that my instructor taught it.

Im currently attempting to quit with patches. I am down from around 20 a day and yesterday i had 3 in the evening when i took the patch off. My problem is i dont want to quit i enjoy smoking but the money ill save is too good to pass up.
