Sounds like the same problem I had with my rear brake, one of the sliders had seized so the brake pad closest to the wheel wasn't moving and the other one was doing all the work. I ended up buying a new caliper but with patience an lots of WD40 you could probably free it up if that is the problem.

I second that! Awesome piece of kit yet so simple, mine came with my helmet as standard and it is really useful if you like to know where you're going without freezing your face off and ending up looking like Rudolph.

That's a good idea but then I'd have to find somewhere to store the box and seat, and I don't have anywhere for either! I really need a shed...

I have this helmet and I'd say the wind noise isn't that bad above 50mph to be honest I can't say I've noticed it. It's very comfortable with removable pads so you can wash the sweat out from those long summers day rides. And the D lock strap although a bit awkward to do up with gloves on is very secure and easily adjustable. Oh and it looks awesome! Mine has a big star on the side with a white outline and black in the middle which is sparkly.

Just take the fuse out

As said above your indicators and lights run on the same circuit so if your indicators work it's not the fuse.

Try this forum http://www.nsr125.co.uk/index.php?action=forum it's a dedicated forum for NSR's from all ages so give that a go. Sorry Mods if I'm not meant to post links to other forums!

I think clip-on is just what they call them, they are the conventional ones. I assume because there's two of them rather than one big one that might be why. Just have a look at the pictures and see if they look like the ones you already have, don't worry about the holes in the ones in the picture you'll need them to keep your kill switch and throttle in place

Have you checked all the connections to make sure they're a tight fit? Also if you have plug connectors check the pins inside for corrosion because it sounds like a poor connection to me. If they are corroded then remove the plug part and get some sand paper and rub the pins down until they're nice and shiney again a bit of WD40 maybe speed up the process as well. Good luck!

As the others have said check the obvious things first, are you sure it's not in gear even if the neutral light is on it can be a false one so might be worth putting it into first and back into neutral. If its not any of the obvious things then try the last easy thing which is the fuses, chances are it might not be them but its worth a try!

The handle bars on the 2004-2009 CBR's are universal according to this seller on eBay http://bit.ly/1ao1vfQ and if that's the case you can get yourself 2 new clip ons for £30 posted here http://bit.ly/1ao10Te them just sell the left hand one and make some of your money back

I don't think I'd trust other road users enough to stick a baby seat on the back even if I was lit up like a Christmas tree they'd still say I didn't see you! I presumed they would have some sort of resistance but they will be directly against it so there will be quite a bit of heat, also if there's a traffic jam or some other reason I can't move whilst the bike is running I don't want them catching fire!!

The reason I need all the room is I have to take my clothes, the other halfs, and our 10month olds as well which includes nappies etc. if It was just me my rucksack would be perfectly fine as it has been in the past.

Just been looking at panniers as they're around the same price as a tail pack but offer more space. Would I be able to protect the pannier from the heat of the exhaust using heat shield material like this:- http://bit.ly/X39Phv I was thinking if I stick that to the side of the pannier then the heat of the exhaust shouldn't melt them, or am I wrong? The other option would be a heat shield plate that attaches to the exhaust with two large jubilee clips but I don't know how well that would work.

I think that's what I'm gonna do had a quick look on eBay the nice ones are all fairly expensive but I don't mind what it looks like. The straps won't be touching the exhaust and I did carry my bike cover on the back with bungee cords and that was fine. If I do get one I'll put some of that anti slip mat on the back of the tail pack to stop it scratching the paint and give it a bit more stability. What size is your tail pack? And how much can you fit in it? Edit: I do use a backpack but I can't get much in it so its not much use, also when traveling to my mums I need a bit more room for clothes etc

Panniers wouldn't fit because of the exhaust unless there's a frame with it which is then gonna cost ££'s and I'm guessing you aren't familiar with my bike as I don't have a tank to attach it too its underneath my seat. I was looking at a tail pack but thought a top box would be better storage wise and I wasn't sure about the straps being next to the exhaust. Honestly I'm not a fan of them either and think they look silly but as I said its practical for when shopping etc, that's why I'd get a removable one so I don't have to ride round looking stupid all the time

Well don't I look like an idiot haha! What did you search cause I put in Yamaha WR Rack and I only got things that had been posted on forums, maybe it's my phone.. They aren't cheap are they! £70 for some metal tubing geez maybe that's that idea out the window.. Would they be difficult to make yourself? The reason I ask is my brother is a welder and fabricator so he could make one. Thanks again

I've been looking into getting a top box for my WR not a permanent one just one I can use whenever I need it, mainly for shopping and to put clothes in when commuting in winter. But I can't seem to find a rack for it, I know they exist because I've seen a post on another forum with a picture of a WR with a rack on with the mounting plate for the top box attached, a quick glance through the post and it was fitted by a dealer so something must fit! I've tried google and eBay but to no avail, any ideas guys and gals? Thanks

he has a charger please take the time to read the post properly I did read it properly, I was just suggesting that a trickle charger could be left on the bike whilst its not being used rather than having to use the charger to completely recharge it all the time

The tyre size will be on the side of the ones you already have so for example on mine my rear tyre is 110/80-18 so just put that in on eBay and it will come up with tyres that are the same size. Just make sure you check both the front and back as they can be different, again on my bike the front wheel is a 21" and rear an 18"

A trickle charger might be worth investing in of you can't go the long way all the time, you can get a solar one for about £11 on eBay with a connector that stays on the bike so you just plug it in when you get home and Mother Nature will keep your battery topped up.

Too Many Banana Fritters

Congratulations! Exciting times ahead. I have a 9 month old little boy and I still have my bike, we have no car but manage without there's enough trains and buses to get you pretty much anywhere so it's not an issue. We started buying stuff before the little one was 3 months gone mainly because it was easier to spend a little every month rather than one big lump sum. We got our cot bed when the other half was 5 months and his room was ready after about 6 months. It helps with the stress as well to get it all done before the later stages of the pregnancy, you never know what it's going to be like some women have a lot of pains some dont. So yes start buying stuff now. I hope you're ready for the sleepless nights, stinking nappies and screaming!! It's worth it though once your little bundle of joy is here you won't care about any of that trust me. P.S. Make sure you do everything the other half asks, hormones during pregnancy and men don't mix.

You haven't even done your CBT? Hmm. When did you come to the conclusion there's too many lunatics on the road?

Mine doesn't work cause I cut the cable off and it passed.. But if that is the case just get an led light instead
