Cor, can I claim even more points!!! NO NO NO only a joke!!

Hi @billy sugger, sounds to me if it's a Carb bike, that the Pilot Jet is blocked on 1 or more cylinders, easiest way to know, is start the bike up, without choke if you can and no throttle. Then carefully feel if Downpipes are warm, if you have to use choke then just let bike tickover as soon as you can, without choke. If it is a pilot jet problem the Cylinder in question downpipes will go cold again. If by using throttle pipes become warm again , you'll know which float bowl you need to remove to clean pilot jet. Saves the hassle of stripping the complete set of carbs down. Hence it's only on 3 or less cylinders and cough's going back on to 4.

Well last weekend I was going to swap out Miller, for Vinales, I didn't and wished I had!!!! Now I have, so fingers crossed, time will tell on Sunday night. Or even Monday on ITV4.

Cheers for that @teo63, Never bloody noticed, think we were struggling to find the Castle. Ended up going up someone's driveway!!!!

Hi @husoi, yep they're knackered, been sitting around by the look of it, you really don't want to go to EBC disc, because they don't like sitting around a lot, mate has a set on his second bike and they rust up, and need to be scrubbed in every time he goes out. Did look at BIKE TORQUE RACING, they do replacement BREMBO disc, but yours never came up. There is a company in Portsmouth BIKEMOTO LTD that have a Brand new set of Genuine disc at £185 each part no 45220MCSG01, 45120MCSG01, Phone no 02392698254. if that helps. Just put part no in Google and it should come up.

The VFR800 has a combined linked system, when I brought my first VFR I wasn't a fan of them, then after the first year and 15000 miles I got use to them. I now find them easy to do, last year I had the centre back piston start sticking, so just cleaned it up and pushed it back in, clamped the brake line off, took piston and seals out, new ones in and let gravity bleed the system. All done in 30mins, and now after 2 VFR's and nearly 200,000miles, only ever changed one rear disc, 99000miles, current Vfr still on original disc at 123,000miles and counting. In fact still on most things original.

Good one @rennie, lets hope the new job goes well, and enjoy your downtime beforehand.

Hi @Stu, I reckon the tickets should go to someone who lives close to the track, to save the planet from all the fuel you would use to get there!!! Oh that might be me, Oh that's a shame I'm in Norfolk next Friday for 8 day's, If it was the same as last year the Saturday was bloody HOT!!! There's hardly any shade at Thruxton!!!!
