cable as in clutch cable?

Not GT85 it will dry out fairly quickly

3 in 1 oil would be good no need for anything fancy

yes Stu, just to give the cables a a once over, recently got a new bike so giving it a real thorough going over ready for new season starting.

Already adjusted all the controls to fit me specifically, now want to lube and adjust the clutch as bar end adjuster is all the way out.

Probably been asked a thousand times before, but what is a good cable lubricant.

I previously used GT85, but is it worth the extra for something like specific Motul cable lube ?

Hi all, Just thought I would post a couple of photos of the exhaust I went for.

It is carbon fibre made by SP Engineering and has a 1 screw removable baffle.

Was a great price, delivered quickly, looks very nice and feels high quality.

Was easy to fit and comes with new hanging bracket, only thing it didn`t come with was a gasket.

Would recommend SP Engineering to anyone very good company.

Thanks skiffer

Thanks to everyone for their advice, in the end i went for the carbon fibre can - http://www.spengineering.co.uk/product- ... haust.html

Yes the more i look at the sp site, I'm sure there the one for me, but so many choices, stubby or full, between carbon or burned effect

I have found a few to choose from, which one do you all think would be best.

Sp engineering who make the exhausts by hand and have a bigger range to choose from - http://www.spengineering.co.uk/product- ... haust.html

Thanks for the advice folks, think I'm going to go with a scorpion as it's a good brand i am familiar with.

Toying with the idea of getting an aftermarket exhaust for my gixxer, my question is are aftermarket exhausts on a bike louder or higher performance or is it simply a bit nicer looking

I lean towards it being the old biddys fault, yes the rider should have seen her, but you can see in the video she is running all the way and doesn`t give a single look.

Away in her own selfish wee world

Thanks Ian, Yes it was an m8 bolt got a pair of oxford ones for £15

Anyone know what size bobbins my 2000 gsxr 600 fits, tried the manual and can not find it in there.

Cheers, appreciate your time

Do you remove the drain bolt or radiator cap first, youtube has some conflicting videos

Yes will use deionised water, should I use clean water on every flush ?

Just watched a youtube tutorial on flushing your radiator which says on first flush use 50/50 mix of water and vinegar ? is this necessary or will water alone suffice.

Great thanks Stu, I will do a thorough flush and refill with prestone and just stick to using that

I don't not flushed the coolant since i bought the bike in march, so you recommend a full flush then stick with prestone

Thanks stu, it's only for a top up at the moment, going to use engine ice next time i do a full flush

Can anyone confirm if this prestone coolant is suitable for motorcycles - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prestone-Antifr ... B004R95MBC

Seems to tick all the boxes with corrosion protection and suitable for aluminium radiators.

I would second youtube or you could also try photobucket they give you easy post links to just copy and paste

Thanks all for the replies, i have pretty much decided on the drift after watching online comparisons and reading reviews, also the drift looks nicer and is a more aerodynamic shape.

Joeman - it will be handy to use as evidence in event of any crash, but primarily is for my youtube channel and for generally just recording nice runs etc.

Thanks all been looking at reviews and youtube videos all day and think the drift is best on quality and much cheaper, has anyone used the drift phone app with the camera ?

Hey all looking to get more into recording my rides at the moment i have an awkward setup using a sony bloogie and gecko suction device.

I am looking to get either the, go pro hero 3+ or drift ghost-s, does anyone have experience with either of these cameras and have an opinion on which is best ?
