upload some pics so we can see what you mean..

Not read it all, but seems to imply that the current CBT is not long enough.. So don't be surprised if CBT's get extended to be a multi day course.. .maybe CBT-A and CBT-B ??

Thats Proper old school!! Get the motor and flywheel out of an old cassette player.

A servo and a tail rotor gyro from an RC helicopter - it would be dead easy to make. If you have access to the 3D printer, it would be even easier. surprised there are no kits available on the net? (ive not looked)

Linking to an unlaunched site just prior to its launch?? From two posts?? I reckon hes a spammer...

Ever wondered why we feel the need to be nodded at??

Its controlled by the uk.gov as a form of mind control to encourage the jobless to get a job!!

I use a company called www.doddle.it. They are a postal service that let's you send and collect from their stores. Stores are open 6am to 8pm.

Use chemical metal or jbweld to attach a nut over the hole and screw a bolt into that. Or just get a cheap helicoil kit from eBay (best solution)

Do it! depending on your industry, and so long as you are good at your game, you wont regret it.

I'm a contractor. I'm hired to provide short term specialized IT skills and knowledge in the financial services industry. If the companies hired permies to do my job, what would then do with them when the requirements went away? Contractors although seemingly paid more, are cheaper for companies as they can be brought on board for short durations and got rid of when the requirements is no longer needed. Also companies dont need to pay holiday/sick pay/NI/Pension/maternity. Also the resourcing costs of a contractor can be more easily written off against tax. My current contract ends on Friday this week - looking forward to a couple of months off work to ride - F**K YEAH!!!

And yet you still had a "f**k it" moment about how much you got taxed! Life truly works in mysterious ways yeah, should have bought a more expensive holiday!!

Really want to see someone do that wearing waterproof textiles.

Find the other thread on BT headsets. There are better ones out there for similar money that other forum members have and swear by.

Ive just been out and bought the base layers, socks, and balaclava. All seems good quality stuff. The gloves they have on sale are the same as the ones I bought last year. The flip helmets look ok too. Bit heavy with no safety stickers. Not bad for the price. Ideal for the scooter brigade!

Wd40 won't remove paint... Unless someone has painted your wheels with the wrong paint!! Are you sure its not brake fluid?? Brake fluid will strip paint.

yep, i dont think any large retailer, especially the "low end" ones would dare to promote crap quality gear, and they really are promoting it hard. Lidle also released bike gear today, so i'll be popping in tonight to snap up some bargains. i'm not a brand snob!!

in a good way or bad way??

Anything that makes the cost of entry into the world of safe biking more affordable for newbies is a good thing for the industry as a whole. The more affordable the gear, the more bikes we'll see on the roads which is great news for safety as bikes wont be such a rare sight so car drivers might start looking out for us more! I've bought biking socks from Lidle and they are excellent. In fact yesterday I was riding about wearing Leather/Kevlar Thinsulate gloves from Lidle and my hands were toasty warm.

There are other faults which do not put the bike into limp mode, the lists i've posted are faults which apparently do so. They will vary from model to model too, a 600 or a 750 ECU is different to a 1000. A FI error on either may be totally different on a 1000cc and produce different errors or running conditions. yep, the 1000 might behave differently to the 600/750.. one simple way to find out, just unplug the servo! if you do get "limp-mode" just pull the wire from the ECU and you'll be back to full power.

According to who/what though?. In the Suzuki workshop manual.pdf, a fault with the servo/valve will put the bike into fail safe or limp mode. I'll disconnect the servo with the Yoshi fitted, then check what happens if I leave the ECU wire intact (just to see). Maybe it's wrong, but here it is in B&W: Read it again. The Fail-Safe Mode is fully open. so if the valve is not there or no signal is not received from the servo, the ECU will default to the fully open setting which has no impact on the running of the bike. The FI light will come on to let you know the ECU has defaulted one of its settings to the fail-safe value, but this won't slow the bike down as the valve is non essential so the fail-safe mode value of fully open won't be a problem. EDIT: Here's a photo of my GSXR with its FI light on... no lack of power here The ECU has simply assumed the SET valve to be fully open (which is is) and which it would be at revs over 5k rpm.

Still free for bikes. When I tried to register my bike number plate with the dartpay website it wouldn't let me as bikes are free.

Yes some faults will, but the SET valve fault code won't cause the bike to go into limp mode. Its just annoying.

I do believe that you have to remove a wire from the grey socket on the ECU, or else it causes a failsafe mode! When you remove the SET valve servo, the FI light will come on. you need to pull the wire from the ECU to put the FI light out. the FI light doesnt slow the bike down, just annoying to have a big red light on the dash.

Post some footage. Be good to hear how you get on. Personally I find the style of camera looks wrong stuck to your helmet, and too conspicuous for incar use, but each to their own..
