5 notices of impending prosecution in the post
fastbob replied to James in Brum's topic in General Chat
You'd be surprised how many people use them as daily commuters without even cleaning them . It's not all about customizing and chrome . Plenty of sub £4000 bikes out there but prices are rising now that production has ceased . -
Phoned an MOT station that I haven't used before , asked whether they MOT Harleys with really loud pipes , the guy said " I bet it's not as loud as mine " Right you are then , see you Friday morning ! Sorted .

Now that does look like a good piece of kit . I bought something vaguely similar which was utterly useless . That thing , on the other hand , with it's spring and serrations looks like it means business . Having said all that , have you considered a K&N with a nut on the end ?

You definitely need to start saving for a Harley Davidson Sportster now . A guy of your stature on a ZZR 600 is asking for trouble . You've only got to sneeze and your speeding . -

Just spotted this . Whatever gave you that idea ? -
The Kawasaki ER5 would be an ideal upgrade from a 125 . Scruffy ones start at £400 and good ones go for £800 - £1200 . They are not particularly exciting but they can do anything a motorcycle is meant to do . I'm on my second one .
-
To my method of thinking that's in the middle . There's a long rod and a short rod with a ball in-between the two .
-
The rod is two piece and yes , it does have a ball in the middle .
-
Because someone put aftermarket springs in of a different length , that's all . I've never known such wild speculation about one motorcycle .
-
Try riding a GSX 1100 from Coventry to Scotland . You'll find out where your Carpel Tunnel is situated just as you pass Manchester .
-
So when you put standard springs in it will be easier for her to operate . Unless you have ordered an EBC kit that has HD springs .
-
Heavy duty springs are no more likely to cause sticking than normal ones . I had heavy duty in the GSXR to compliment the racing clutch kit and I've even got 15% stronger spring and an Energy One Extra Plate Clutch Kit in the Harley . Mind you , I do have a Muller Power Clutch actuator as well .
-
Well yes , but there will be less slippage when you give it death .
-
As far as that ? Haaaay !
-
Heavier duty springs .
-
They don't stretch , they compress .
-
Looks like it's aimed squarely at the beard oil and brown boots brigade .
-
First things first .
-
Not the worst case but the first thing I would do . If it's stuck you could rip off the friction plates and they would end up in the sump .
-
An electric clutch ? What are you guys on ? Based on past events , wouldn't be a good idea to just read the manual and figure it all out for yourself ? Otherwise you will repeat the same process of pointless conjecture and wishful thinking when all you need to do is open up the clutch and have a look . Oh and all those decades of chainlube under the cover . The best cleaner you could use is petrol , trust me , nothing else comes close .
-
£20 for a strap ? And why is it waxed cotton ! Surely that's just going attract dirt which will rub off on your shoulder ? At the end of the day it's just a strap .
-
Probably an idea to sell it before the next oil filter change .
-
Disconnected from my £ 17.99 Automatic Trickle Charger , Drained the carb and filled it with fresh fuel , hit the button and she erupted into thunderous life for another summer .
-
Go back and have a look . It might be that the road is rutted due to heavy use .
-
Dosen't make sense to me . How high do you think a motorcycle seat is ? The Honda Rebel is so low you could trip over it .
