  1. Malachi Mitchell-Thomas was killed in the supertwins race today crashing near Black Hill. This follows the 2 rider incident between Dan Cooper and Ryan Farquhar which has left Farquhar critical in hospital with chest and pelvis injuries. I'd heard about Malachi before and new he was up and coming and one to watch. Shame he didn't reach full potential. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    I did think would playing with tyre pressures help. Don't know why I didn't just ask it... £35 will probably go on Gin instead.

    As I can't replace the tyres till I burn through them I'll read through your posts and see if I can work out what I can try suspension wise. Suspect I also need to get my head out of a rut too and stop thinking so much. Cheers stu, always worth having chaps like you about. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    I do have Bridgestone on atm.... and I haven't trusted them since about 2009 as a brand. Sadly I can't afford to just replace them as my daughter is a week old and I think my death by OH would be fairly swift. I use Michelin on the car and love them. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  5. I tried those angled valves. Wasn't convinced by them so went back to the awkward hand fiddling between the brake discs. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Suspension setup.

    I don't have the feel for what the road is doing underneath me is how it seems. When I had my 125cc learning on the Devon lanes I could judge grip very easily as I got on with the response the bike gave me. It almost feels like I am going to wash out the front, even at low speeds. The bike is the first in 13 years to make me feel like that. I can't rule out the thing scares the shit out of me though and it's all in my mind. I will check your links, I do appear to have a slight chicken feel on messing too much myself with the bike. Give me a computer any day. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Anyone used JHS Racing near Bristol? Seems they do suspension setup from £35. Is that cheap, do they do a good job and I think the question I know the answer too, is it worth doing even just for road riding on the gsxr 750? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  8. And this is why you don't drop them! Though I have noticed a stone chip on the gsxr... could of cried Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  9. Ah I had been doing that so on right track I guess. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  10. It's more getting the pump on and off. I have a traditional tyre gauge I can use fine, it's more getting pump on and off quick enough I don't end up losing all the air I pumped in as I can't get my hands in properly. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  11. I try to keep my tyre pressures in line with the manual so 36 front, 42 rear, and that needs doing regularly. The problem is I have big hands, so how do people cope with doing the front wheel? 2 massive discs make access awkward but I was wondering how people deal with their access to the tyre valve?

  13. The clean should be at least an hour. Show it some love [emoji14] I'm picking up a Halford sprocket set so I can get my wheel nut done as my chain needs a tension. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    I honestly don't have a come back for this apart from: What the hell? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  15. I bought my sisters boyfriend a chain monkey last xmas and he says they work. I went with that for him as they state they have worked with BSB teams (moto rapido ducati in particular I suspect). He rates it so might be worth getting one to reduce some hassle. I will be getting one myself to see how it fairs on the gsxr. Check the chain tension and lube along with tyre pressures regularly. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    She has been a right fuss pot tonight. I've also lost my debit card yesterday and today I have sliced open both big toes on glass after smashing my measuring jug in the kitchen. Right foot had a lump of glass in the top of my toe! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Yes my first. Hope we can take her home today as she hasn't been feeding but finally got lazy butt to take 3 decent feeds. Thanks Gin. I spent yesterday teaching her the wrist action for a bike throttle and which limb does what on the bike. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  21. Dovi put himself in the shit this time. I think the idea of petrux going alongside lorenzo is a good one. Top duck with a hand that he says needs a mechanic not a doctor. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
