Agreed, think of the poor staff member in that 'big chain' that made the mistake... They are the ones that will suffer not the company.

Right, I have a new to me 2004 Honda CBR 1000rr (which is awesome i might add!). I noticed after the first ride that the chain needed adjusting, while carrying this out I have discovered a tight spot in the chain. I've adjusted it so the tight spot isn't so tight and the rest of the chain is slightly slacker than it should be. After a brief ride out to test things I have noticed it's running a tad nosey, seems to be the front sprocket (which is in good condition). Should I get a new chain and sprocket set fitted? Matt.

It says you can in the instructions and is surpossed to turn off etc..., but I fitted a new battery to a bike once and that particular year I only used the bike half a dozen times. The rest of the time it was connected to the optimate, and after one year the battery was useless. Thanks for that, will investigate with the R6 which has a new battery on and see how we go.

There not 'illegal' it comes down to the individual officer. Carry a clear one around your waist and you'll be fine.

Really mate? I thought it was ok to leave them on permanently? I put a new battery on yesterday and it started with a new vigor.. not sure if the hot start issue has been fixed though. Will nip out on it tomorrow and see.

Picking up a new battery from Woods tomorrow so we'll see if that sorts it !

It's brightened up lovely this evening on Anglesey lol

Hmmm. That's a point, I may well have done that recently. Will see if it makes any difference !

Cheers guys, I'll check all that and report back

The R6 starts fine from cold and is kept on an Optimate 24/7. When it's hot, say i've just stopped for fuel etc. it'll only start with me holding a small amount of throttle for say 1-2 minutes then it will tick over fine again. Also if I cock up and don't catch it on the throttle it'll only stomach a couple of goes at starting before the battery dies. Any ideas ?? Choke issue ? New battery needed ?? Cheers in advance..

Bugger just seen this waiting on ASDA delivery before heading out .. Will probably head round Anglesey.

I'm going out tomorrow if anybody is about in NW Wales

Jota, not seen you out on your bike for a while. Give me a shout next time you go out. [email protected] do you now Jim Bowden ? He's with the Llyn Bikers. Matt.

Nice Looked like you had a great day out
