Good to see a good old fashioned sportsbike in a world of adventure, naked ,retro bikes or Harleys.

Watch some Monty Python & Life of Brian on youtube. Biggus Dickus, Latin lesson,.

Either that or a paint code for Toyota biege

Proper bike like this? Race inspired 600cc screaming parallel twin. Sleek, stylish aerodynamic bodywork designed by the same team who did the Fireblade. Seat comfort to rival a Goldwing The touring ability of a BMW GS Your user name reminds me of a Two Ronnies sketch. 4Q2, over there next to fork queue one.

Where's that tumbleweed gif?

SORNed the R1, that's parked up until March 22

If your neighbour bought the BM, (E36 325 era?) specifically because it had an aluminium cyl block and change to the iron block wasn't explained then yes I can see why he would be miffed. But the fact he drove it afterwards without noticing any difference and someone had to point it out would suggest he didn't. Sure there would be a minor weight penalty, but no more than 1/4 tank of fuel.

Early Jag v8s also suffered. I've run my M3 on 95 for 10000 miles without a related problems and about 500 so far on e10. Thankfully I get better than 12mpg.

The BMW nicasil liner issue is over 20 years old which they fixed for your neighbour at the time so i see that as a positive on BMs response ,just fixing a design fault, same reason why some old Porsche cayenne v8s are so cheap. Have to say BMW are pretty good with their recalls, my 2003 car had airbags done in 2018 and my mrs 2005 120d just had a recall on a bit of wiring.

OP, did you get anywhere with this?

Yes totally agree, my point was of all the sensors on the engine, the only ones that could be affected by a change in fuel would be the lambdas, e.g., if the mechanic diagnosed a TPS or cam sensor you know he is talking BS about the e10. It's highly unlikely but shouldn't be dismissed without some investigation and facts, not hearsay or Facebook speculation. It's not said what car it is but at 23000 miles must be fairly modern and compatible with e10. On a certain M3 forum I'm on ,the amount of people that insist on running them on super unleaded only when the handbook clearly states it can run on 95 as it has adaptive knock control. BMW say you can run then safely on E10 but the reaction on some on the forum is like they are being asked to run it on diesel. During the recent fuel shortage some were panicking because there was no 98 anywhere and were scared to put e10 in case it immediately damaged the engine.

Hello and welcome. The NC30 is a fab looking bike and one of the models I've thought about buying when I can't deal with my R1 anymore, in fact one of several grey 400cc bikes I'd like. Must say I'm a bit bias on that era of bike, I've got an RGV250 and at the age of 57 can still squeeze onto it...just.

Depends what sensors, if Lambda maybe connected to the E10. Anything else probably just bad luck.

As with a disc lock, it will stop your bike been wheeled away but no defence against being picked up and thrown in the back of a van.

New engines can have a surprising amount of machining swarf inside, depending on how good they are cleaned before assembly. The swarf gets trapped inside castings and eventually gets flushed out with vibration and fluids moving around. Machine swarf is normally curls of aluminium quite different to flecks of metal you appear to have. If the engine sounds and runs ok, if it were mine I'd refill with oil and run for another 100 miles then drain the oil again and see if returns. If it does you know something is failing and will need investigating further. Or scrapping....

Magnet or a piece of rubber pipe

The main reason I don't want another pet, had cats before and fortunately were lucky with visits to the vet's. A guy at work had a cat that ate the bloodied mat in the bottom of a meat tray, cost him over a grand for the operation. Cat died naturally about 18 months later....

A bus driver in Rugby last night who decided to try and overtake a group of cyclists around a bend and across a pelican crossing. A car came the other way and the bus had to bail almost taking out the rear cyclists, the approaching car then had to drive on the path to avoid him. He then halted at a bus stop less than 100 yds later which would have made his overtake pointless.

A faulty injector makes sense. If you want to get it cleaned professionally , I've used this company before. https://www.asnu.com/

While having a sort out in the loft I found all the handbooks, manuals and other literature I've got about it. Magazine is a test carried out in 1968. Also found the rather nifty leather goggles the previous owner gave me.

Do you mean in any gear or just top?

When did you take the carbs apart, before or after it started running rough? From what I can tell the diaphragm and slide are all one piece, is that correct? What makes you think its a little worn, the diaphragm rubber needs to be perfect with no splits or perishing or it will not work. If the slide has some signs of rubbing where it moves in the carb, I'd say that's normal, obviously there are limits. When you say both need replacing, both what, there is only one diaphragm per carb? Looked at cmsnl and there are different letters aswell as the last number from a 97 to 99 model, so unlikely they are compatible. The volt meter should read around 14.5 when running and 12.5 when switched off, Did you check for a good spark ?

I work in Banbury.

It's a 2003 Honda Silverwing non abs model, had 49k miles on it. Was a cat N at some point, fell off its stand and cracked a load of bodywork. Got it off ebay, didn't make its reserve so made the guy a sensible offer. Talking of tyres, taken a while to find a decent brand for the rear that doesn't wear out quickly, runs a Bridgestone Hoop. Since I've owned it I've carried out these repairs and maintenance. Oil &filter twice Spark plugs Air filter Fork seals and oil One rear shock due to corrosion Both brake calipers Both sets of pads at least twice Front wheel due to loose bearing in the housing.
