sounds more like a clutch issue. My fuelling issue the bike bogs at 6k rpm and picks back up again, no extra revs or anything. Stick it in top gear at about 30-35mph and open the throttle, if it's the clutch it'll rev a lot more than it should as the clutch slips.

Happy 50th Forum dad!

Stock headers/exhaust system? Different bike, but mine does exactly this after changing them.

Megawatt is asking where you’re based as he wants to help.

I design the robots (mechanically at least ) I think I’m safe for a bit. *My job doesn’t actually involve designing robots, but it is within my field.

Got the idea for my costume sorted . Just gotta buy it and a tent

Did you use Robbo for the next service too [mention]Beans[/mention] ? He’s really spot on isn’t he . Congrats [mention]Susieque[/mention] you bringing it to the rally ?

I’ve got a million pictures and videos from this year. Absolutely loved it, properly got the bug. Have a pic of the Norton I took.

RIP great rider and a real shame.

You do them in, because registering for the forum was a tough passage and I earned this membership.

Aldi?! This is Harrogate! We only agreed to a Sainsbury's on the outskirts because we thought it would help to keep poor people out of the town centre. If you want Aldi I suggest you venture into one of the deprived surrounding areas, like Wetherby or Leeds. Aldi is posh for Leeds, they’re still on Netto I heard .

Ignore them calculators if they give you a quadratic answer and you’re not expecting it, they go mental sometimes.

The two best riders in the world* currently on the same team? What's not to like . *Assuming WSBK isn't miles behind MotoGP in skill level.

Well this is exciting https://www.bikeandrace.com/motogp/motogp-jonathan-rea-the-verge-of-hrc-honda-seat/

Thanks for that Can you explain this bit for me? Is that not an issue regardless of the voltage the battery is being charged from? I'm not questioning you, I just don't understand . When you hit the starter button the energy needed to fire the engine comes from the battery. Once the engine is running the electrical supply for the bike comes from the alternator. The battery acts to smooth the current flow - so for example if you've ever ridden with a nearly dead battery you can sometimes see the lights brighten and dim slightly with engine speed. That's because the power is coming from the alternator without the battery being able to smooth it out. (Which is pretty irrelevant to be honest but hey ho.) As well as providing the electrical energy needed to run the bike, lights, heated grips etc the alternator also has to recharge the battery to replace the starting charge. The alternator puts out around 14v (usually 14.4v) which is why the voltage across the battery with the engine running is 14v. That 14volts remains a constant. What varies is that the alternator will repond to load rather than actually charge. eg on a car the alternator will do more work as you switch on more electrical gadgets. If you switch on the heated screens at idle you'll often hear the engine rpm drop slightly as the alternator responds to the new load. It's the load that varies, not the voltage. So within the first 10 minutes or so the alternator will replace the starting charge drawn from the battery - it will then read the battery voltage as having risen to what's sometimes referred to as the floating voltage, just under 14v. At that stage it will stop charging the battery. So it can keep a healthy battery topped up, but it won't fully charge a flat battery. In fact alternator manufacturers often put a warning on the box telling people to trickle charge the battery before they fit a new alternator. Fitting a new alternator to a vehicle where the battery has been allowed to go flat can kill the new alternator pretty quickly. (eg https://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/experience/2012/08/fact-alternators-are-not-designed-charge-dead-batteries) So the rule of thumb is that the onboard charging system can keep a healthy battery topped up, but it won't recharge a discharged battery. Hence a regular routine of trickle charging protects both the battery and the charging system.

Glorian isn't on the list yet if the world can see he's coming everyone will come!

5 days and I'll be on my way here

I LIIIIIIIIIIVE also anyone who doesn't FB me I have a bike again You coming?? Please come.... please

I got the impression he's rolling with the 1%ers ready to blow anyone's head off who even wears a leather cut.

I thought this would be useful for some .

Of course .

I don’t but it’s force of habit because of the way I was taught. I only cover the brake when it’s a precarious situation, like filtering and some wally is going to run between the stopped cars. Basically most of the time I’m riding in the city centre or on motoways for the last minute lane changers.

Top stuff mate! The CBR would keep you entertained longer than an ER6 imo
