Nothing wrong with Camp Coffee . It lasts longer than anyother coffee ( no bugger drinks it ) It's brilliant for reattaching items with its sticky consistency. It's the only coffee my Father will drink

Motorcycle Helmet Intercoms - help
TimR replied to stefcialina's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
They are genuine .. they are just discontinued https://www.cardosystems.com/support/freecom-1/ For you and you partner to communicate you would both need to buy new headsets . So to keep it within your desired budget then you will either need to find a second hand set , buy a cheap generic set Or Sell the headset partner already has and add to budget and find a suitable set -
Motorcycle Helmet Intercoms - help
TimR replied to stefcialina's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
If its freecom 1 i don't think they are suitable for intercom ( Freecom1+ wouldbe required ) https://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/news-and-events/bluetooth-motorcycle-intercoms-everything-you-need-to-know May be useful -
Lube the chain etc and see from there . Dry chains make a racket ... At this time of year Road salt etc means chain maintenance is high priority and using a decent chain lube is a must
-
Has it always made the noise or has it started recently ? Has it been worked on recently? Have you checked things over for loose screws on fairings etc ? Have you lubricated and adjusted your drive chain correctly ?

Agree especially when it involves melting nylon/polyester ( lookat their head ) and obviously overcome by fumes . Childhood friend was subject to a fire in which their shell suit caught fire and the material melted into their skin . Their legs took on the Seam pattern .

Triumph Trophy Engine Strip
TimR replied to Mickly's topic in Old Motorbikes, Projects and Restorations
You have to remember how crude diesel is and its viscosity can alter with varying temperature so can effectively seal any minor leak . In minor leaka It only tends to visibly leak under pressure and seeps otherwise but very slowly Petrol or paraffin is a good leak down -
Bergen 'used'to be ok but in my opinion about 10yearsago ( maybe more) they changed and became very poorly made and now are a budget range trading on a Previous good name

https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/warrior-wheel-chock-fits-12-19-inch-wheels-ubrpdschk15/ Consider getting one of these.. Wheel it into it ..Bike remains relatively upright without any input from yourself.( You can always strap forks/ bars to the chock if you wish for extra reassuring ( i use these in Vans when transporting and strap down to them ) See image for my additions (ignore object in my hand) This allows you to use paddock stand easily . And again to remove paddock stand you can confidently remove stand as chock keeps bike upright and then you just reverse bike out of the chock I happily place and trust my 350kg bike in these

Is your rear axle hollow ? As i use this for the old cbr600 Its a length of threaded rod that goes through and i just attach bobbins and use that for quick lift ( Remove after use though)

If you want to go down the fix it yourself... I find it amazing that so many people will happily watch a random video on YouTube to maintain critical components ... Yes there is some knowledgeable content but there is lots that is dangerously infactual but if you don't know the difference as you just base your research solely on that then your life and others are at risk. Get a haynes manual and back it up by external reference material .. Myself generally i do all my own work and equipped to deal with basic servicing to full engine rebuild , welding . change tyres on cars or bikes , electrical work however i also for the past 3 years send my GTR to Kawasaki for servicing to maintain the 4 year Warranty ( 2 years standard and extended by 2 more)... Yes i could get it cheaper at an Independent but My Dealer has brilliant customer service , the workshop team know these bikes inside out and know what they are doing so that reduces time and any complications as the Gtr is a labour intensive bike if you are not familiar with it. In those years i have spent potentially £2000 on servicing and still have a year left and they are the big ones and will add another £1500 however this has been offset by the ability to not spend rest days not being able to ride , over £1900 worth of warrantied parts and labour covered by the extended warranty .. Does this mean I'm not a Biker ... I personally could not give a f**k ...

To me lockdown was a form of curbing /minimising the impact of a infectious/contagious disease so would that not qualify in their view as : Clause C AND A
-
Part c is the major part you have to worry about If there is a National Lockdown as we had March onwards And your journey was not necessary and you have a moment they could cite this because of lockdown restrictions to curb/minimise the impact .

Double check that it is meant to be a 15A? ( Owners manual) Most bikes i know even 125s have a 30A as a main fuse on the solenoid

Good place to start i would suggest checking out the engine used in Kawasaki gpz900 Kawasaki Gpz1000 Kawasaki GTR1000 It is literally the same engine BUT for a few small internal changes that have an effect on the outputs.

Yep they are brilliant ... Apart from when the victim soils itself and this causes the circuit to reenergise constantly ... I swear one day the victim will be resuscitated ...

Its that time of year to deep clean and acf it So its been levitating . Bit of a faff as gtr is not 'technically ' suitable for the skylift but it just takes removing one plate and there we go ...

Plus you need to match similar engines Benneli is a twin cylinder Triumph is a triple

To all those chastising the OP for their lack of mechanical aptitude/ability WTF ? Not everyone wishes to undertake such a job or has the ability to either through lack of knowledge or workspace or tools or even all three. With regards to the cost look at the Labour charge ... That is basically an hours charge by a Main Dealer . Parts may be expensive but they will be genuine Yamaha parts and come with a labour and parts guarantee . Yes an independent may be cheaper per hour but i doubt there will be any independent that will give a time frame of 1 hr . And if this is all the bike needs after x amount of years on storage then it is a bargain . So to the OP i would go with what you know and face it buying something else you could be in the same boat . Look at invoice it is the cam chain tensioner not cam chain ...
