  1. The world is getting better every day We should emigrate to Mars
  2. Had this. Very quickly got a whole lot better at looking ahead, smooth riding and clutchless shifts. The only issue was stopping a red lights: all I could manage was to stall the bike and start it again when they went green. There is new MV tv with scs clutch, u can stop without using the clutch and it will be ok, maybe ur model can get upgrade
  3. Summerhouses... plural.. how many homes do you have?! And when can I come on holiday? Sharp eye
  4. However that Sprayer looks good and solid. I had one cheep that last only once (Chinese)
  5. U can get acf50 in spray can, xcp as well
  6. Just simple silicones, no size issue, perfect fit, only downside they get dirty very fast.
  7. Question is does he stopped the leak or not, maybe is the new temporary repair that could be used in emergency. Very comfy solution.
  8. This is copied from some garage manual, I hope is clear How To Fit LED Motorcycle Indicators So you've finally decided to swap out those bulky OE indicators for some sleek new LED units; maybe because you want something brighter to keep you safe out on the road, or you want to make your bike look its age and not older. LED motorcycle indicators have a lot of benefits over the OE option, being smaller & lighter units, which allows the designs to be a lot more sharp and modern, plus giving a much brighter flash out on the road. When it comes to upgrading your current indicators to an LED set, simply plugging in the new units isn't quite enough (although fitting them properly doesn’t require you to be a neuroscientist). LED lights work using a lower wattage than normal bulbs, which is why when you plug them directly in to your existing indicator wiring you'll notice they flash a lot faster than normal and most probably a lot faster than the rate allowed for a UK MOT * So, to slow your flashing down you have to make the wattage draw similar to how it was with the original indicators, and you can do this by fitting either a new indicator relay unit or with resistors. You might have been put off making the change in the past because of all the talk about calculating wattage of bulbs and determining which units to buy, however it's not as difficult as it sounds. Fitting new LED indicators is an easy task for anyone with simple electrical knowledge. The Relay Method Relays are the reason your indicators flash and not just stay on constant, and the way they work out how fast to allow flashing is by the wattage of the system. When you fit LED indicators you adjust the wattage of the system and therefore need a new relay to suit (Or fit resistors). Getting the right LED relay for your motorcycle in most cases just means pulling out your existing relay and buying an LED specific relay that matches the pin lay-out of your current relay. If you can't find an LED relay that matches your pin lay-out exactly then you can either purchase a different LED relay and hardwire it in using electrical connectors or as we would suggest, use resistors instead to slow down the flash rate (read below) You can browse our range of LED Relay units here Once you know you have the relay it's as simple as wiring your new motorcycle indicators in and plugging in your new relay! The Resistor Method Maybe you only want to change your rear indicators to LEDs and leave the front indicators standard, or you're struggling to find the right LED relay for your bike. If that's the case then you will need to fit resistors in your wiring circuit. By adding resistors to the wiring you increase the wattage draw from the LED indicators to match what was there before, therefore your existing relay will continue to run as normal with a standard flash rate. As the difference in wattage between LED and standard indicators is generally quite large, it is recommended that you will need one resistors per indicator that you are changing. You can buy 25 watt resistors in pairs here. Some useful tips for using resistors: - Resistors get hot during operation, so wrapping them in tape can lead to resistor over heating or worse melting plastic parts around it. - Resistors need to be fitted in parallel to the indicator, meaning one end connecting to the positive and one end connecting to the negative. - Test your indicators for each resistor you fit to ensure that they are working correctly and to determine if any more are needed to further slow down the flash rate. As with every modification to your motorcycle, if you are not confident undertaking the work it is always a better idea to take your motorcycle and the indicators to a qualified mechanic.

  9. By the way, pressure that work on dry will not be good on wet. That why manufacturers have recommended pressures. Recommend pressure shall work on wet and dry. As well depends from tyre walls, softer or harder, there is a lot of variables to be accounted. That’s why keeping recommended pressures or to stay in vicinity is very important.
  10. Usually road legal after market exhaust will come with certificate. I got my mivv with certificate and Leo vince before.
  11. It's not just bikes though, they have other products in demand What ever it will be, it will have same price or higher, they are just looking for market’s where will be able to skip protection charges because with Eu is almost clear that no agreement will take place
  12. Not sure as kawasaki was made in France Honda in Spain, they were eu products, but who knows
  13. It could work with classic leather trousers, long enough

  15. When was the last time you had a drive where you had to refuel halfway the trip? Newer EV's have a range of 200 to 350 miles. Do you drive that far every day? Unfortunately I don’t drive every day, I don’t commute, but when I have a time and chance to drive yes I doo much more than that. And despite the range, it takes me just few minutes to refill 60 litres tank or les for motorcycle 23 litres. As I wrote I don’t commute and all my drives/rides are for pleasure only
  16. Fantastic, I am sure u will enjoy it. I would go for 749, but 916 is the ace
  17. I still believe that electricity is for vacuum cleaners, blenders, hair dryers etc. As long they don’t get same or better range with same speeds as petrol vehicles, 5 min charging time, at least same price as petrol counterparts, And still they will be ghostly quiet, half of the trill is the exhaust music. Hope governments will not prohibit petrol bikes at least next 15 years, after that who cares.
  18. Quick recovery and many happy miles
