How long have you had to wait to get your bike repaired by your insurer
dynax replied to Bungleaio's topic in Motorbike Chat
I only had 1 claim that was 12 years ago, got rear ended whilst sat at traffic lights, in short driver claimed liability and car written off got paid out within 2 weeks, bought the car for £300 ins' paid out £900 and i got to keep the car sold off bits i could which raised another £500 and then scrapped it and got another £150, had the car for less than a month too -

Some useful reading and PTFE is Teflon https://www.venhill.co.uk/news/teflon-cables-for-motorcycles-guide/

[mention]jafman[/mention] I think you will be okay using lubricants, i can't see the chinese manufacturers using high end products like teflon coated cables
-
thank you , will take a nosey at those. A selection of them here https://www.toolstation.com/automotive/lubricants-sprays/c264

Graphite,silicone and PTFE lubricants are also an option for brake and clutch cables, some have a straw that fits in the nozzle for tight hard to reach areas just a few squirts and away you go

To be fair though it does state it will last for upto 2 years, if it is replaced after 18 months or so as regular maintanence, then there should be no issues, as in [mention]Stu[/mention] case the sealant was in for a good few years by the sounds of it, and was well past it's best

It never repaired my puncture so I'll never be using that stuff again I did use something similar for a car i had, never did get the tyre changed it worked for at least two years
-
I think i use that well is smells of bananas anyway, i usually give it a few of good coats and literally have it dripping

Hi Mate It is worth checking the front sprocket nut as these are often secured with a washer that bends over and the shaft is splined. Just thinking that if the nut did spin loose it could be a disaster. Hopefully I am wrong ! Cheers Ian Not the front sprocket already checked the main possibilities not to worry if it's something crucial i'm sure i will soon find out

i will get something up when i get the chance and i will have to try and source some pictures from the web as i only took a couple of photos myself

Bridget is all back together now, just finished the last few jobs, cleaning and refitting the front sprocket cover and the chain guard, and i only have a couple of bits left over , one is a locking washer but for a splined bolt or something and a little plastic bung no idea where that goes so overall pretty happy, she just needs a good clean and polish now

the bottle was probably left as in case of emergency if you happen to come across him again Great story

Massive no from me! They can corrode alloy! So much so I have had to replace a wheel because of the stuff What about in tubed tyres as it's not in direct contact with any metal unless you get a puncture?.

If they're not registered to you and you want to get rid give them to the pikeys -

Damp leather help......please :-(
dynax replied to APR's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Get some proper leather cleaner and give them a good scrub, then apply some moisturising cream, if you have a fabric liner use some febreeze after a clean with a damp cloth -
It might be worthwhile putting the battery on a conditioning charge if you have a suitable charger

where can get an oversize front sprocket for a ksr moto worx 125?
dynax replied to 777's topic in Motorbike Chat
I agree but also a thank you from OP's would at least acknowledge the effort
