Painting unless by a specialist is not a good idea as the paint solvents could damage the EPS (expanded polystyrene) internal liner. unless it is a water Based paint.

If it s a fibreglass helmet should be no problem, but if it is a "plastic " helmet there is a chance that the adhesive may affect the shell. This is what ARAI say. though it is from 2009 http://www.motorcyclenews.com/new-rider/2009/october/oct0209-faq-new-rider-advice-can-i-put-stickers-on-my-helmet/ It also depends on the stickers as the helmet has lots of curves so the stickers may crease.

Good choice

What fuses and why do you think they are wrong. Need more information.

goats on the lamb -one day in norfolk
JRH replied to a topic in Cambs & East Anglia Rideouts and Meets
Not sure I can peddle fast enough to keep with goat on his Stelvio. you'd probably overtake me. I pootle about like an old granny, grinning like a fool and pointing at the birdies. In these days of Political Correctness, are you actually allowed to do this. -
Calipers were fixed back on bike so couldn't try this. Assuming I have understood correctly. Yep, calipers off twist and rotate a bit. Had to do that to the GPX after new seals fitted to get all the air out.
-
Also try rotating the calipers so any air trapped in them will migrate up to the bleed nipple. A few gentle taps helps.
-
I always try on either at a shop or at one of the bike shows.

Had these in the past. worked fine and reduced the wind noise when not being used for music etc. https://www.autocom-shop.co.uk/product/autocom-in-ear-speakers/ Now use a SCALA Q1which can bluetooth music / SatNav and has an audio cable to connect via a 3.5mm connector.

The roads are good. Did the Castles in the Monmouth / Brecon area for 2016. The Honey Cafe in Bronlly is worth a visit. -

Borrowing pen and paper is that in the rules , I think not ... whipping or a warning Stu ? 10 extra points for initiative. -
One of my cards refuses to work at the pay at pump terminals so I send the wife in I tried that, but she refused to get in her car and drive the 120 miles to the petrol station where I was, to pay.

Kawasaki model names often bear little resemblance to the factory code. My 1987 GPX750R F1 was factory code ZX750F. this was the engine and frame code prefix. Your ZZR600 is VIN ------------- ----- model ----- code ---- year ZX600E -------------- ZZ-R600 ------- 6 ---1998 See here for full list https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/kawasaki-parts/kawasaki-model-identification.aspx

Module 1 - members test experiences
JRH replied to a topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
Just don't use the back brake. Think we have had this discussion about the use of the rear brake before. -
Sounds like it. But check the level of the electrolyte. If it has been running down and then put on charge may have boiled off some of the water.
-
Do the voltage check as shown in above post.
-
The system should handle this. The rating for the genny is about 370W (30A) But the battery voltage should be about 14V when charging @ 5000rpm. Edit Found another spec for the genny at 200W (16A) This might be getting close to not being able to charge the battery with everything running. Do a voltage check at the battery with everything on and running @5000rpm.

Well done

On a brighter note

Yeah but it does, and involves you going to work again, coming home knackered and spending the evening looking for a cheaper energy supplier, putting a wash on, doing a weekly shop, then posting on a forum about nothing for nobody to look at whilst the earth moves closer to total oblivion with no meaning to anybody's existence ever. Your a bundle of fun today [mention]goat[/mention] . Had a bad day.

Hope that every one has a very merry Christmas.

Suzuki Gp100 1993 project Cafe Racer
JRH replied to Classickid21's topic in Old Motorbikes, Projects and Restorations
Bought it new in 1983. Used it to pass test and commute to work. Never used it for "high" speeds. . Changed it later after getting knocked off and then passing my test. Swopped it for this. Paint job by Dream Machine.
