its fine about 25 mm play

hi ladies and gentlemen , i have a 2001 600 bandit s, and when stopped at lights in neutral when i pull in the clutch and knock it into first the bike jerks forward a touch i have about 10 -15mm of play in the clutch leaver as per the manual, but as the bike gets warmer the jerk forward gets more severe, and sometimes is hard getting into first at all when i am coming to a stop at a set of lights any thoughts on what my problem could be??

do it now would be my choice ! get your theory booked and as soon as thats out of the way, get your mod1 booked, best time to book is about 430pm any day as all riding schools have to submit their test cancellations by 4 pm to the dsa, so lots of short notice test dates become available around 430ish , that way you will most likely get it done in the time scale you have available before your cbt runs out!

thanks mate i think il see if i can get a correct wattage bulb that will fit into these lenses before i go down the relay route!

so i picked up my 2001 bandit on tuesday but the only thing bugging me is the indicators are flashing too fast! the bike does have aftermarket rear indicators fitted but non led, is this just a simple matter of me needing a relay or something? if so shat type will i need and where a bouts is it situated on the bike ? 2001 bandit 600s thanks ste!

hmm tips??? don't stress over it i was really nervous before my mod 1 ,but for some reason i wasn't no where near as bad for my mod2 i suppose it was because you just need to remember all they want to see is a confident safe ride!, i had a bit of a joke with my examiner before the test began, and just done what i knew i could do which was have a safe cruise around for 45 mins or so and remember they can't see everything you do on your test if you think you make a mistake keep calm and forget about it ,the is a good chance the examiner didn't even notice it i passed with 1 minor fault and i am sure i made a few mistakes that warranted a minor that i wasn't marked down for good luck and try enjoy it , you will wonder what all the fuss was about after you pass on friday

my cbt trainer was a nightmare ! he was screaming at lads for taking their hands off the bars when the bikes were stationary and not even running, his bad attitude caused some guys to make mistakes which they wouldn't of if they were more relaxed without him shouting down their ear i suppose some trainers just don't have the people skills to do the job,i never went back there after that day and done my mod1 and mod2 with a different school and passed yesterday as for locking the bars at junctions I've never even heard of it , maybe its a old teaching method i started the process of getting riding a bike hat the end may this year with my cbt ,and then das and haven't once been told anything about locking bars at junctions

thanks guys , i am still smiling now, even though my eyes are hanging out of my head with all the ebay/bike trader drooling I've been doing since i got in from my test

well what a relief I've just passed my mod2 today with 1 minor fault on my signalling i suppose the bike hunt shall now commence , i know a guy selling a mint sv650 on a 56 reg with 5,000 miles he wants £2,600 what you guys think??

well done griffo!

thanks for the replies, i think i will go around there in the car and scope out the local roads!

well i took my theory last week and passed that 50/50 on the questions and 59/75 for hazard perception , just got back from my mod 1 today passed with two faults on the slalom / figure of eight so now comes the time for me to book my mod 2, got a date for next month! question 1 should i ride over or go round speed bumps? question 2 is the road always a 20mph limit if there are speed bumps on it? , i say this because around St. helens were my closest test centre is they seem to have speed bumps everywhere and i am not familiar with the area at all so my mod 1 , well i was nervous as hell, i thought my test was at 815 it turns out it was 845 so that was a extra half a hour in some baking hot little room sweating my t*ts off gets called out side to the bike right by the pad, some guy was just finishing his test on there, so he pulls out and parks up, about 10 seconds later his examiner walked out behind him my examiner nods me to enter the pad, just as i go to pull off (after doing my lifesavers of course) the other examiner walks across my path causing my to stop (i was still at least 10ft away fro him) i continue on to the pad done my test and thankfully passed it but when i get into the office for my examiner to write out my pass certificate , he starts asking why i went to move off and telling me off like a kid in front of 2 other instructors with their students, really talking to me like i was stupid, it took all i had not to tell him to stick mod 1 up his ass (i hope he aint reading this), so what would of been a really great day turns out to be just a great day! i get where he was coming from but still i was at least 10 foot from the other examiner when i halted my entrance onto the pad, and he did nod me to enter so i just assumed the the guy would of stayed where he was instead of walking across my path, i guess my nerves got the better of me, normally i wouldn't of moved off at all the someone by me lesson learnt and mod 1 passed
