Passed my mod 2 on Friday, so bloody chuffed!

It was the old Rossi class today! Awesome ride, and also for Lorenzo who had a faultless stonker!

I don't like the look of them for a start & I would rather spend money on a bike than one of those up-market big scooters IMO

I couldn't believe it, when I saw the crash and then him on the floor my heart plummeted Normally when something like this happens I feel sad, but with Marco it really really upset me almost to the point of tears. I think it was because he was my favorite rider of the pack, like many people. His charismatic personality and how he was so chilled out about any situation. He was a rising star in moto gp and a fantastic rider! And spare a thought for both Edwards & Rossi. I can't imagine what they're going through He will be sorely missed by all. Rest in peace Marco #58

I use the car more as it a bit more practical however the bike is threre for fun and when its too sunny to drive to work 2 bikes 1 car

I changed my oil & filter last week I went out on it today, let it run from cold for the usual ten minutes and it was absolutely fine cheers for the helpful comments though guys

Thanks megawatt I think it maybe cold oil as I always let my engine run for 10 mins before riding

Yesterday and today I noticed that after starting the bike up and putting it into 1st the bike would jolt forward just a bit. Even though I had my clutch pulled in all the way. Now I noticed it quite a bit this morning, I was in a bit of a rush to get to work so didn't warm the engine up for as long as usual. When I parrked up at work, I thought I'd see if it did it again. So I changed from neutral to first, and it was fine, no jolt or anything. It peeves me that I don't know why it has suddenly started it, could it be the clutch? Can anyone shed some light on it please? Cheers Griffo

I need to gain access to my air filter, which is located underneath the right-hand side panel. However after looking through both my owners manual and the Haynes manual, I cannot find out how they come off! It may just be me being stupid and missing something bloody obvious, if anyone knows how to get them off then I'd really appreciate it. Cheers Griffo

Thanks for the advice guys I will give it a try this weekend!

I have a dent on my fuel tank, its about 40mm across and about 4mm deep, I'm just approximating. Could you get it out with those dent "trumpets"? Any help would be appreciated Cheers

Thank you for putting up this thread, I've just started having a go at filtering as I've only been on my bike for a month now. It seemed bloody daunting especially on my little 125, however my confidence has increased lots. I'm not trying anything too daring or risking doing something stupid. Slow and steady at the moment! Thanks again!
