[shameless plug] Yes! Yes you should! I have a 15k Gen 1 Thou with goodies for sale once I've taxed it

Ho boy there is a BIG difference between a CBT and a full test. Consider a 3 day DAS course or get ready for a big disappointment... I don't mean to be a dick but you've only scratched the surface, fellah.

So after a bit of research, a new pressure fuel hose is £71.92 Ouch. When hose and ends would cost less than £15. And I have the ends on the old hose. So I'm talking less than a fiver for a hose, and clamp the old banjos to it... The system runs at 4 bar. Anyone ever made a pressure hose like that?

IMHO kevlar jeans are crap. The knee armour doesn't sit right at all. No use in a crash and uncomfortable to walk in. Each to their own though. Maybe you can find some with straps to lock it in place. Dunno, but I consider my red routes (plus armour) a waste of £115... Any use? Hein Gericke stuff is the kitten's mittens.

Splendid. I wonder if I can get braid in red? I like red...

What a fool I have been! You are absolutely right. I was too quick to assume the hose with the cut off / diconnector was the fuel in. What I have is a fuel preasure hose, and assuming it IS ruptured, a very good reason for the symptoms! Time to grab a mille hayes manual and get serious. Does anyone have any experiencing making these up and any tips? Components seem readily available... OEM is £71.72!!!!

So I'm talking less than a fiver for a hose, and clamp the old banjos to it... The system runs at 4 bar. Anyone ever made a pressure hose like that? The Fuel return hose on my Falco (same Rotax 60. V2 lump as Mille & Turono) might need replacing. The bike tries to start, but cuts out after half a second or so. After that, she won't fire at all unless I leave her alone for a while. Sounds like a fueling issue to me - the air is clear, and I have replaced both spark plugs in each cylinder. Unlike the fuel line, the return hose is braided. The outer cladding is ripped up in a few places, and getting my snout in there smells a lot like fresh petrol. I am mind-bogglingly broke. Anyone know if I can get away with making a new return hose using banjos, clamps and normal fuel hosing? Thanks for all the help, no bike in this weather is killing me! CvB

Excellent

Exactly right. I'm very happy with mine, stainless, clean weld. I don't mind the look, maybe the casual Rozzer will see the baffle and move on (and not look at the faint "Race use only" that's not quite polished out I didn't have to do anything to mine, the deep bass is still there. It's like... before I was being hit in the ear drum with a 100 tonnes of rocks, now it's a 100 tonne douvet. And for the price, you canna go wrong... let us know how you get on!

I have a Falco (1000cc v twin, two cans) with mahoosively open cans in which the packing gave up the ghost ages ago. Whilst a LOT of fun, at 92db at idle it was a bit over the top. I got some of these (link below) and they have helped a lot, I still get the Rotax 60° V-Twin Thunder Rumble, but it's much softer at idle. Just get the right angle and dia.

Try owning a Falco. In a garage with no power....

I was advised that any performance improvement is dwarfed into insignificance on any large cc bike..?

Going downhill? Sorry, sorry. Erm, try googling worn pressure plate / throwout bearing? How does it sound when it's engaged?
