anyone no anywhere cheapish for abba stands and fitting kits? looking for one for the sv..

had a quick look.. that looks confusing

A helmet is one thing id rather pay a bit more for anyway.. But depends how much your heads worth as to how much you pay

Ive got xr1000 so basically an older version and its a really good helmet, its lightweight but at speed there is alot of wind noise and i think mine could do with one of those wind deflectors under the chin.. But if you can get one for around £250 i would say its a good buy

ok thanks its it just a case of adjust the screw bit by bit until you feel happy? and do both the same amount

on my sv people who have seen me riding have often said my front suspension looks very soft.. im guessing you adjust by turning the screws on the top of the forks but how much do i turn and what difference will it make? any help would be appreciated

ill be trying out my new leathers tomorrow so im praying it doesnt rain!!

the tyre at the minute (touch wood) is just a slow puncture with the looks so i think ill manage it, ill pack i little bike pump akey..willow, what time will you be setting off and can i follow you as i have no idea where im going?

i may be up for this one, ill let you know fri-sat sometime bike tyre is having its time of the month so ill see if it goes down now as i wont be using it for the rest of the week

GSXR600 for me on this poll personally choice Yamaha R6

just checked what it should be so pumped up to 2.5 bar then just been out on a ride got home and it was 2.75 bar it does change a lot with the heat!

are tyre pressures lower when its cold? as my tyre was at 34psi yesterday but this morning its cold and its 31psi

as this is my favourite subject at the minute? (tyre punctures) http://www.muc-off.com/shop/product.php?id=73 has anybody used this to stop punctures and has it worked? how to apply? help?

no worries i was only stopped for a second untill it decided to start!

yeah that was me, the fecking thing cut out! no idea why but it made it home lol

it was down at 20 psi so i pumped up to 35 and we will see if and how much it goes down over night looks like new tyre job

well when i get to the shop i will pull it out with my key or something and if it goes down i need a new one.. if not ill tell them to have a look and see if it is safe.. its gonna be an expensive week! just spent £40 ordering a new air filter aswell and now this!

just rang them up and because its a ZR rated tyre they would never plug it! which was there words, as its not safe enough so they dont risk it so looks like it'll be a new tyre

its just on the edge of the thick part of the tread but i didnt know if they did that so i shall ask tomorrow if its ok plug it.. plus i dont no how far through its gone if at all i dont fancy pulling the metal out at home as if it has gone tthrough ill have to pay to get the bike to the shop!

well as the tyre with the most tread is the rear on my bike its obviously the one thats got the nice shiny bit of metal! now as im not great on motorbike mechanic-ing ive got it booked in for a new rear tyre at the shop i brought from who put a new one on 2 months ago! but the question i want to know is... if when i get it changed can i get the old one repaired so that when it happens again or this new one becomes knackered can i used the old one? or is it just a case of change the £140 tyre every time you get something in it? plus i dont no yet if it has gone all the way through as i will try take the bit of metal out when im at the shop so if it has it can got straight in.. help??

ill be up for the ride out steady pace or fast pace i dont mind Jamie - SV650S
