Hi, you can adjust the lever undo the pinch bolt on the lever, slide the lever off the spline gear shaft and rotate it upwards one pitch retighten the pinch bolt and see how that feels. Hope this helps

Hi, when push comes to shove this comes out http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vessel-Impact ... 338a355004 Had one for years it has a 1/2 drive got me out of some really tight threads

Now down to 3 Suzuki Hayabusa Bimota SB6r Gas Gas 400fe enduro

It all been said about engines, but never forget that the rest of the bike needs to be bedded in also. Tyres need to be scrubbed, brake pads, suspension and shocks linkages all need time to bed themselves in and loosen up. Agree engineering processes have come on leaps and bounds over the years, so has oil and lub technology. l've was told that if you run a motor in on fully synthetic oil it will never fully loosen up. I can remember that Kawasaki engines used to be notorious years ago for glazing there bores due to being used to lightly whilst running in. Me l've always just ridden the bike normally shifting up early and keep the revs way below the red line until after the first service. And never lost an engine in almost 40 yrs of riding

Just had a mother of down pours here in Nott's. Thunder, lightning, hails stones the works, you would not want to be out on the bike in that!

Hi, on our way back from the Italian Moto gp at Mugello we came along the coast to Monaco then headed north via this place http://www.lesgorgesduverdon.fr/en/360- ... gorge.html a must see if your down there, stunning views and real test of your riding skills. Bring on the sun!

Good man for helping him out. My Mates blackbird was just the same sounded like a bag of nails he thought it was the gearbox! New cam chain and tensioner sorted it now running like brand new with 50k on the clock.

keep us posted

Just a thought, have checked the cush drive in the rear wheel for ware and backlash? Chain and sprockets there's tons out there just make sure you get one to spec for your bike.

Watched the live blue ray of Joe Bonamassa at the Royal Albert Hall from his last tour "we were there" What a brilliant show and a fantastic recording, a must buy if your into him

I can recommend this one blows hot and cold hopefully we will soon be test the cooling side/! of it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3KW-INDUSTRIA ... 35cdef9f2e Handy also to vent the place when l've been running the motor or welding lol

Hi definitely in need of serious chain and sprocket maintenance or maybe even replacements. Sort it quick mate before a major drama breaks out. Plenty of info on you tube to help you out. You really don't want to know the consequences of a chain breaking whilst your out riding. Stay safe

I'm sure he was being gentle with you lol Stay safe

At some point on this planet we were all stupid, then someone learnt something and passed it on :3some:

Good news all part of the learning curve mate. So is hanging onto the back of an RSV lol

think you need one of these Mate. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/22129203 ... =95&ff19=0 Use it as part of your tool kit, l would not recommend leaving it on. As for pressures look up both metric and psi pressures for you bike and make a note

Replied

That would be hard to tell, l think your bike is fuel injected. So with lambda sensors and all the rest of the electronics' that needed to make the thing run. I would start by just checking that your throttle cable is adjusted properly and not to tight.

Problem of overheating alternator caused more than likely to a high resistive joint - joints between alternator and battery. The voltage regulator is sensing low voltage at your battery due to the corroded connection, so it then compensates and produces excessive power from the alternator making it run hot. Same rule applies if your battery is duff don't ignore it, it could end up trashing your charging system. Good to hear you have found your problem

Ferry booked all set for go!!! Harwich to the Hook return June 25th Wednesday night crossing Sunday 29th afternoon return. We are camping, we have been using the same cracking camp site for a few years now, not going to disclose openly its name or place. If any member is interested PM me for details

All good now l hope? So did the lamp explode? Hopefully there's no debris inside the light fitting. Which replacement lamp did you fit bye the way! Just curious

How about this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OXFORD-MOTORB ... 0411083042

Hi Mate yes your on the right track, pull off the plug then remove the rubber shroud, you the will see a spring clip you squeeze the tails together to open the clip you can then remove the lamp. fit new lamp in reverse order taking care not to touch the glass of the lamp with you fingers grease from your fingers will induct heat and quickly blow the lamp. This link should be of help even though it not your bike "> Chris

but the front light doesn't work. Lo nor Hi beam! The back light works fine and all other electrics seem to be OK. No front lights at all he said Mate!

These lights get good reviews http://www.amazon.co.uk/Osram-Breaker-U ... eaker+plus. You only got one so don't skimp.
