im going on Sunday hoping to clear up the end of show deals -planing to buy the stuff they don't want to take home and would rather sell cheap.

Love the RST leathers. i have the pro series jacket and its a great fit, and feels very sturdy with removable thermal layers. Phil_Young wears all RST waterproofs, and he's out in all weather conditions so it cant be bad!

Looks a good set of roads. I was at a child's 3rd birthday party.. Where do you have your camera mounted?

I might have some spare. I bought two cameras and butchered one so probably have some spare mounts somewhere.. Which mount do you need?

Big company with lots of products. But they are refusing to take back a faulty product saying its not their policy to accept returns unless the fault is reported in 24hours. They are trying to say its the manufactures problem now so I should take it to a local service centre. They are missing the point that the contract of sale was with them and not the manufacturer and faulty or not under uk law I have a 14day cooling off period during which I can return goods for a full refund. So yet another company ive had to explain basic consumer rights to and threaten with legal action if they dont comply. Its kind of becoming a regular thing now. Company screws me over, I threaten to sue, they then comply... Why dont they just follow the rules in the first place???

Just bung the regulators a nice big brown envelope full of cash and save yourself all the hard work...

Contest the fine. Tell them a mad man on an R1 was stalking you with a video camera and you were just trying to get away..

When you de-baffled the bike, did you leave anything in there that might vibrate? Almost sounds like a lose heatshield vibrating about.

if an ER6 can stay with your R1 until 3rd gear, then you need a new bike... get yourself an S1000RR. you'll lose the ER6 whilst still in first gear with the front wheel not bothering to touch the road...

im taking the estate car, with the seats folded down....

Anyone had any problems with Expansys? I ordered a phone from them, its faulty, and now they wont take it back... They are saying i need to locate my nearest service center! So i've hit them with an email detailing all the laws they have broken and started a paypal dispute for a full refund. It just seems like another example of a big company "trying it on" by ignoring the laws of the land and hoping the customer will back down.... well not this customer!!!

I was wondering if it was restricted??

Yep, I remember yours coming off your helmet at a junction... Think thats where you obsession with supergluing stuff started!

ER6.. Mirrors are the wrong shape for a monster, and you can see the bar going across the side if the motor.

I'm gonna try to get there Sunday morning..

confirms my findings on my Gixer600. i removed the servo and left the valve open. there was no noticeable power drop, but it sounded much nicer.

Welcome to the forum.. Try this. Its for the 50cc but I think its the same setup on the 125. http://www.pedparts.co.uk/blog/automati ... 0cc-mopeds

still hoping i'll be free... wont know for sure until closer to the time...

Charge them for the mileage... They added 10k to your bike!! Thats not gonna be easy to rectify.

I removed the SET valve on my Gixxer600. sounded better with no noticeable reduction in power. Many believe its only there for noise reduction as it stays closed below 5krpm, and funnily enough, all noise testing for UK type approval happens below 5k... On the track youre rarely gonna be below 5k, so take it off to save weight. you need to pull the wire from the ECU to extinguish the FI light though, or put tape over it As for the gearing, from what i've been told, all type approval happens at 70mph, so you'll find the bike is geared to keep the revs below 5k at 70mph thus keeping the SET valve closed to keep the noise down... I'm a firm believer that all bikes leave the factory with tall gearing designed for low noise, low fuel consumption and low emissions and to make them less wheelie prone. For the track, none of that is important, so i would start by dropping 1 tooth from the front sprocket and then play with the rear (adding more teeth) depending on the track. Be aware your speedo reads off the front sprocket so changing the gearing will cause the speedo to over/under read.

How do they intend to get the new ones back in, if they need to break them to get them out? Instruct them to put their tools down, and step away from your bike as clearly they have no idea what they are doing!!

if its sat in your garden, list it on eBay for 400quid. if it sells, buy it from your mate for 300 and keep the 100quid 'Admin' fee

yep, because the rest of the internet is full of truth, written by highly trained people, with zero commercial interest...

yep, thats the hard facts! i've always been a bit chubby, but never been one to each much junk food - not like some of the guys i work with who much on chocolate an redbull all day long... I did an intensive fat burning session, two personal trainer sessions per week for 6 weeks and it worked wonders. Yes i adjusted my diet a bit, but i was still having the cheeky lunchtime beers. Exercise is the key - you can eat what you like if you do enough exercise... which reminds me, i need to get back to the gym!

they are great bikes. cost per performance, you cant beat the Gixxer. yes the plastics are a bit flimsy, but it doesn't matter if your replacing them all with racing fairings anyway. And yes, its clear BMW based the S1K on the gixxer. if i was buying a track bike, it would have to be a gixxer (unless i had the sponsorship/budget to finance a BMW)
