sounding ever so much closer to animal cruelty. things were broader line when people just

I thought you were referring to the snail at first. . That and isopropanol afterwards is quite good and doesn’t leave a coating nor a nasty odour.

Heated vest/under jacket like kies weve had for years , powered by portable battery or and connected to the bikes battery . the full sleeve jackets need to be powered by the bikes main battery only. Makes even a summer leather jacket tolerable in heavy autumn/light winter.

a better person to understand is when you make a mistake and learn from it rather than never make one. know nothing and only learn from being told something by someone (if your lucky) is bit like the difference between real life experience and some college/university courses . based on the previous posts included, Wise words, your mentality is correct to have a positive and lasting biking experience in a whole. keep it up.

Having to do Returns are a pain in the arse and more faff than just spend the time in the shop for an hour and leave with the right one first time out. its better to see and feel them one after the other as it gives perspectives if you dont know what your looking out for so it is far more productive and time saving. For the bike- it depends on the budget or who’s around you. At the worst case (small money stealers) is a good independent. id go to smaller garage’s that probably doesn’t have or bother with a franchise of a manufacturer (loads of new bikes with a mark up premium) so like a small family run business so near me is shorrocks and Padgetts for example. look out for a large variety of bikes, makes, ages and sizes as they have to earn a rep and work for it having a volume of customer satisfaction, they will probably have minimum of two proper mechanics plus maybe a fitter that filter between normal customers work and preparing bikes for sale rather than hide behind a fancy outfit and greed of money which youd be paying for. Go look at a super market type place If your new or dont know what to look for as to gauge a prospective of your next bike by all means BUT don’t buy from THEM if your new or dont want/have the need/means to fix it yourself if it goes wrong. most are not prepared well, if properly or at all prior and after purchasing. warranty's is not worth shite and certainly not pay for. As theyre business model is base on buy a cheap bike on the networking list in volume (let the numbers of odds work on that basis) and do f all to them if possible in the hope they don’t fail within the short legal time frame of accountability and customer rights… i know they source work out on their returns because they can’t fix owt beyond a oil change and most of the time to unrealistic budget and cheap parts. So to add the numbers and volumes go by not paying a proper mechanic to fix stuff as they get to each bike but minimal wage possible (and skill) to do the absolute minimum required first. some may have a good experience i don’t doubt as they were one of the lucky odds but if youre new or don’t know and want to have a best chance of hassle free…Some will cry and shout But that’s my knowledge and advice between us.

Well done on the mod. Especially lithium ones as the capacity is terrible like 1/4 at best. so add a device and a little resistance/ is enough to ruin your day. great for a quick single crank when cold but after that your running the risk of killing it as they dont like ( )to drop many volts and no way as recoverable as lead acid bats. so if its drained enough to not start a bike generally (left lights on too long) they are Goosed…so expensive.

Yea agree with all. first look at some insurance quotes, 2000-2010 jap bikes to something like 2015 or so A2 compliant bikes and something slightly different- see if you can afford or happy with what is on the table? old japs are quite reliable, in the grand scheme at the moment cheap and parts readly available. i wouldn’t look at bsa (yes it’s not made in china but…) at a real push a royal Enfield (better backing) but certainty not as a first bike as you’ll most likely still drop it or have a incident… then kit- go to a proper motorbike clothing stores like sportsbike or J&S accessories, the range is by far greater, cheaper and the advice they will offer solid compared to a stealer or other con artist. if your commute or rides all year or just sunny days? That makes a big difference to the kit especially if you want to keep to one that does as much as possible…oh and don’t read marketing BS on anything. Be fore you look at bikes/buy, get the license done and acquired! Than will give some experience as to what a bike is like and what you get on with or not so you have a better idea of the next bike.

Agree with husoi. a different problem area.

congrats. solid but under rated / over looked bike.

Turns on, starts up or running? when Turn on might be a loose fuel pump/fittings or filter or even somebody dropped something in the fuel tank

in the real world it wont matter a jot

Thanks SD . Not as bad as cracking your head on something? feeling goes out .

Finally after over a month.

Hello. Oh dear so new yet so broken…..

Express is more car budget insurance than a bike specific one. Any good? Probably the same as car insurance and very clueless with bikes.

Bragging about the size of his ….

If the naked doesn’t have striking resemblance to the kawa Z and the rr to a mid 2010 cbr1000…funny that.

Hi. Yes fit new before leaving.

got to agree with Throttled. Not a bad bike but certainly not moved enough with the times after the “first gen” let alone many versions on… I think it’s in a sticking point within its market. It would have been better to make leaps even if it was on a different path to the other japs. how about a small effective super or turbo charger? would certainly differentiate it to the others.

Technically yes

Hello, dedicated to a small capacity, Good to see .

Well that’s the rub if you want visitors the slight inconvenience

wonder if it will be pointless?

Yea stick to the car.

just fook them all off.
