ZX9R.........

Thanks vik I just presumed self catering would be the cheapest.... Ill have another looky.... Is there anybody still wanting to go anyway?

I am thinking of going MCN Butlins but I need a mortgage to get somewhere to stay at the moment, its around 400-500 for a flat thingy, is there anybody else interested in going still? If so fancy sharing...............

Roy you want to meet and ride up again??

Just a thought is your possible lack of performance related to something else? ie a fuel restriciton or just general wear and tear... After giving my bike a full service where I changed air filter, fuel filter, plugs etc the performance was much better....

Is the Vee Dub weekend that big? Why don't we just gate crash again

Vik do you know if there are still some places left to go? Whats the score with cabins/rooms etc......

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe do we know how many are going yet??? Need to look at dates with work first though...

I should be up for this one, think I might just travel up for the day and have a good ride to and from...

I think I should be able to come along for this, I am not sure about camping but I am on ly in Oxford which is about an hour from Ace. I'll probably look at riding up and maybe meeting up with Yorbandit if he is going. If not I would probably have a blast up the A5 and meet near Coventry way or Norhtampton depending on timings etc. Have you thought of going down the A5? I noticed you were near Coventry and Hinkley if your that way goes straight all the way down towards Watford I think. Akey is probably the expert on that road from his trips home....

Well peeps, when I was there I did have a good look for any indication what they were used for and there wasn't anything to say... I would have to agree with Susie anything is better than nothing.

I had a good look and its the only thing they had not sure why. I think I saw a CE mark so they must be ok....

Good 'ole Lidl's is at it again and this time they have spine protectors going for £15 I had a look on the packet they appear to be the same as the sort for bikers although I am not sure... I am sure somebody out there might be interested....

I think I would be a yes, are we going to have a poll for it?

I had the same drama with my Ninja not long ago where the side stand cut off switch was playing up. I had no neutral light on the instruments and from what I could make out that was also causing a problem.... I gave the bit that goes into the front sprocket a good dousing with WD40 and strangely enough it worked again...

I tended to find that when the carbs iced I couldn't accelerate at worst I wold just pull over and let the bike run or a bit. I haven't heard of any other bikes having the same problem.... You could try a bit of redex or something similar to see what happens, some people have said that soem high octane stuff will help. I think theres a thread about carb icing somewhere on here, if not pm me and I can send you all the info I have on carb icing...

I have to agree with the Idle needing adjusting. I thought you only got carb icing while the bike was moving and you have come off the throttle. Well my Ninja is like that.

Many thanks Tim, your a great help

Thanks Tim, the bill for recovery alone is up to £130 hopefully all I will only have to shell out for fuel now... Do you think its ok to leave the fuel filter then? Slightly peee'd off as I have just done a major service and done about 100 miles with a new filter on

Hiya, I am looking for a bit of advice.... A slightly bitter ex has decided to put sugar in the tank, thankfully she eventually decided to tell me before I was about to start the bike. While waiting for recovery I turned the fuel tap off. Anyway I was wondering would it be ok just to remove tank and replace filter. Obviously I will be draining the tank and rinsing it out with a bit of new fuel and then filling it up. Will that be sufficient? As far as I can think any contaminated fuel will still be in the tank won't it? Any help or advice would be very grateful thanks. Jase

The Ambulance service use them as fast response cars - they don't hang about y'know! I used a Mondeo for work once and found that shifted too sat at about 120 no probs.... We have Sprinter vans at work and I was shocked to hit a ton in those like

Have tried all of those mate although the wood in the wheel will be my next attempt thanks for you help...

165 on my ZX9 and bottled it as I had luggage on the back reckon it would go a bit more like... Oh and thats on the Autobahn not in UK I will add....

I have tried top gear and lots and lots of back brake am almost back together and a trip to the garage it is going to be oh well I can get the bike hooked up to the dyno at the same time

Sadly I don't think I will be able to make Ace Cafe, would've liked to be able to but I just have so much other stuff on But anyway I am only near Oxford so the south coast is within an hour ahem
