Chains and carrying them around
Joeman replied to MR_W's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
you planning to park in the same place? leave the chain there locked up... if the chain goes missing, its probably not a reat place to park! -
Cameras on your bike.
Joeman replied to Rider's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Exactly. Thats why im setting my "Evidence Cameras" up to be powered from the bike, always on, and recording on a loop. No risk of flat battery or full memory cards! they dont need to be broadcast quality full HD, they just need to show the road positioning of the idiots. My helmet camera is the only camera that needs to be Full HD so i can pulish stupid vids on youTube! -
Cameras on your bike.
Joeman replied to Rider's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
as i said in another thread, i keep intending to install two, one forward facing, one rear facing. They dont have to be high spec, just need the ability to start recording when the bike comes on, and stop when the engine stops, and record on a loop. mount them cleverly and they wont be obvious. I ride with a helmet cam most of the time too, but i just know the one day i need it, it wont be running... -
Just remember "slow in, fast out" So so do all your braking before the bend, and position yourself on the outside of the bend. Enter the bend "slow", accelerate gently and smoothly all through the bend and exit the bend "fast". If you need to tighten your line, push the inside bar away from you slightly.

But the Russian one looks much cooler.

When its in the water, its spinning both wheels...how is that two wheel drive?? cant see the drive to the front wheel.... EDIT: at 2:13 you can see what looks like a drive chain hanging from the handlebars... very clever!
-
want one!!

Reckon the rubber seal for the oil filter is pinched up
-
Just mowed mine.. Would have gladly paid you to do it though. I hate moving lawns!!

Need to show us a photo of the spark plug.. Need to see if it's all black or nice brown colour. I reckon you have a problem with your carb settings and your ignition timing. Are you sure its the right CDI unit for the bike?
-
With the back wheel off the ground, does it rev freely?
-
The video was uploaded 4 years ago...
-
Take the plug out, take a photo of the end and upload. The colour of the plug is a great indication of what's going on..
-
dude, finish the TZR, it will sell for loads more when its complete, then spend the money on your other bike... but do you really need an underseat exhaust?? raises the center of gravity - not good for cornering
-
Don't like the look of that! No space between that rear hugger and the underside of the exhaust can. If he hits a bump, his hugger with snap off!
-
Have you checked the basics, like wheels free to spin, brakes not binding etc etc. Does the bike freewheel easisly or does it slow down rapidly when you pull the clutch? How's the sparkplug looking?? Worth through the carb cleaning it and resetting it to factory defaults and then see where you are..
-
Yep, doesn't bother me.. Its still cheaper than beer and I spend more on that than petrol these days..

Watch this from 4:10 http://youtu.be/aCGfyZihRSI

I get about 120miles from 18quid on my S1000RR at not so politically correct speeds..
-
Thats not right.. should do almost double the speed! Something wrong that needs looking at ASAP!
-
Swap the front indicator to the back to get you home. Or just only make right/left turns

when i was 10 years old, i had my own motorbike. I didnt bother with helmet and stuff - just shorts and t-shirt. Living out in the forest, i used to use it as transport to go see my mates (not on the roads, just cross country). I'd be gone all day and come back for dinner... No mobile phones - just trust i'd be home safe... So in comparrison to what i used to get upto, is taking a young lad on the back of a bike really that bad??
-
Wish I could.. Why do they always have them on weekdays?? Dont the rest of the biking world have jobs to be at??
-
Yours has a carb, do the bikes you're comparing to have fuel injection??
