  1. going mablethorpe on holiday can't convince wife to drive and me take the bike F**K IT
  2. is the cable adjuster bolt in cross threaded? this would make it only tight and only move a thread or two. no idea why it would be grinding though
  3. Asked about why there so cheap, and they said because they've had so many returns because either the zips or straps are knackered. So is it worth taking the risk and buying some just looked at that to 1 in 5 pairs have been returned
  4. i was taught that lifesavers are for changing direction,speed (accelerating or braking) changing lanes basically anything where this could potentially save your life. Did lifesavers when turning right at junctions or roundabouts at first then got told they weren't necessary immediate danger coming from left or right and not behind. turning left different cos of cyclists and other idiots going round you etc for mini roundabouts if you don't indicate where you intend to exit it will be misleading to other motorists. can't have been that bad instructions as only got 2 minors and they were for the turn in the road, this was before the new tests came in though
  5. i believe they are also at most bsb rounds kbc also do replacement cheek piece etc at various different sizes/widths
  6. tested this morning 12v not running, 12.8v tickover and 14.6v at 3000rpm guess the battery starting to feel its age
  7. don't know if its same for a bike, but an RAC guy came out to me in the car for a flat battery told me it takes 20 minutes at at least 50mph to charge a battery up fully from the alternator with no electrics running.
  8. popped mine on last night throttle side fraction shorter than originals but nothing a set of r & g bar ends won't put right then again just had the old tape measure on the throttle side its only 115mm should be 125mm like other side
  9. starting fine just that when indicators are going the light goes dim when thy're on then bright dim bright dim in time with indicators.
  10. from what i've heard mod 1 is only seperate because of the conversion of kph to mph meaning that the speed required is 32mph and hence illegal to be performed on our 30mph roads, could be a load of shite like but its what i was told before the new test came in
  11. thanks i'll go dig the multimeter out later on tonight or tomorrow and test it
  12. my head light goes dim then bright(normal) when indicators are on same with neutral light too. i' thinking it could just be the battery it looks really old and i have no receipts for it in any of the documents i got with bike 2 years ago, but there is this little niggling thought that it may be the rectifier
  13. i don't ahve any trouble keeping my matt lid clean baby wipes area amazing they will clean near enough anything,which is scary when you think what you do actually use them for
  14. aren't hjc now doing a similar thing with one of their models? As for scorpian heard good things about it as the fit is supposed to be perfect when inflated to your face
  15. erm why put a penny in end??
  16. i shall do some more searching around then
  17. DO NOT put copper slip anywhere near the pads even on the back of them!! Buy some brake/chain cleaner Wurth make a good one it cleans and evaporates leaving brakes free of dust and grease etc. If you get any copper slip on your discs you'll wish you went for the cheaper option of the cleaner and it wont hurt!! copper slip on the back of the pads will be fine,haynes manuals say use it most garages use it too. if you get it on the disk or the friction side of the pads then its a different story.
  18. you ocould have lost a balancing weight from the wheel rim.
  19. anyone know where i can get material to recover my seat from? been having a look on google but seem unable to find anywhere. could just be being dumb though
  20. isn't spies already set to be rossi's replacement when he retires, i'm sure i've heard that somewhere. Either way the guy is a bit special and fully upto speed with everything we can expect to see him on the podiums a bit more
  21. motogp, wsb, tt - if its on i'll be watching it if i can't be watching it sky + is the greatest invention in the world . I find all the bike racing far more interesting than formula 1 and the guys are far mor entertaning at the end of a race too.
