Welcome Yog!

Still in production?? U mean design and testing? it may take a good few years/generations to get anywhere near the established big players, it might raise a few brows and maybe push a buttons if they can actually make it not be problematic. if memory serves me correctly the engine (or half of it?) was from the doomed terrible design, mismanagement of the Norton saga? will be is an exact copy (china default) rather than an actual redesign of one or even possibly a new home made design? be interesting to place bets on what goes first on them... electrics, explosive detonation or rust... Wish it well all the same.

i know the Chinese manufacturer dont have a Europe distributor or a stockpile of parts, it has to come from china directly... on the cheap, thrown in a random container while nobody was looking that might be going to somewhere in the world thats not china, so dont be surprised to take months to turn up. If they dont fix it in a timely manner, tell them that it wouldnt pass an mot, so it not roadworthy and possibly unsafe so they can take it back and give u a full refund if they / zontes cant be bothered to fix it/ send the part. that will make them worried!

Exactly for the track only.... not much use for the public road buyer. maybe MSV might aswell fill the grid full of another one make series or a gaggle of adventure bikes, sports tyres like rosso4 s, sports touring tyres for intermediates (Angel gt2) and wets can be knobblies.

Yep the walkers feel its theirs to do and have how they please, sod it to the other potential users that may have feel to move there arses to the side as the ramble cos they travel at 2mph. plus dont like to control there sodding dogs that shite all over the place and leave it...Dirrty buggers. You see coopers have levels of talking to the public, especially road users.. 1) if its a chat (given with advice) which means that was slightly naughty and you shouldnt have done that while i could/might have see you. 2) if it a person sort of bollcking and not booking you, youve been very lucky cos you was close to been buggered, that could be because an experienced copper will say i dont really have evidence to take it further so im gonna mass ur ears in to scare you not to do it again and waste my time. 3) if very professional/business talk and straight to it, you're in the deep end with the sharks and your gonna get more than a slap for being a creting. now for the undertaking that wasn't illegal, that view from the federallye would have been, what if the vehicle decided to be in the wrong lane and just change without looking and tw@t you off?... your on the worst end of that crappy decision of the other vehicle user even if they made a bad call. the speeding one is the old school of association of one copper with one tool and one chance to clock..., mates together, keeping together and keeping up, if one of u is caught the other(s) must be so there from the fasict view, courts generally take a NoBs view over any other person that wishes to enter the room of prejudice... i mean judgement.

The other incentive to drive/ride while being attentive to your speed is that youll have less insurance companies to choose from and will be massively more expensive. if you still dont behaave after that courts can ban u for even longer/ indefinitely or let you stay in a 3x2mtr accommodation for a while to think about what you might be doing wrong, it is rare but a possibility.

The refusing to rev out might be to do with the spark coil lead.

Looking at venom and some of the newer models out. they do look different externally and in fitment, not sure if the wiring or the electrical blocks will be different again without more info. you might be better asking a dealer to source one or even if they are no other options a general aftermarket set but is will start to be very time consuming and expensive to make one work with it...

Just to add if having passed both entitlements (car and bike) before the revoke/ban and you retake and pass on your bike test first, the car one will be automatically reinstated afterwards (because you've already passed before on the car). but if you take the car one first you have to retake the bike afterwards with makes sense as bikes being harder to ride and pass, that is unless you've Had some other restriction imposed by court.

its ok. Just advice. yea not good for the helmet, Highly likely to fall off and damage the helmet, especially round bike meets or public areas. If the bike gets knocked over/falls the helmet is the first thing it will damage and could scrap it addinf insult to the bikes damage youll have replace. Rubbing/ wear/ introduce dead flies -and road grime to the interior , plus long time pressures the softer crumble zone EPS liner which is just like polystyrene. Looks like you have a rack or brace bar with side rack and bungie cords. if its just the bar brace, place helmet on the rear seat with the bungies crossed left to right through the hole with the visor lifted up slightly out of the way. doesnt have to be tight just secure if the bike goes over its stays in the center away from the floor or stops the helmet being knocked off, thats safer.

Its a digital gauge on a digital dash. sounds like the sensor in the tank due to it holding the level and the wiring possible earthing) for it suddenly disappearing for sure! if its so new send it back to the dealer and tell them to actually change the parts!!

Happy birthday.

Wtf BF, do u live in a cathedral or skyrim?

Posting a Cardinal sin! . Pet peeve, Hanging the helmet from the handle bar in that way or the two others way.... look away...look away . Lol

Ta!!

Chrismas day or new years day treat is a panettone cake, the whole cake....MY PRECIOUS!!!

sounds like it could be two problems but ill deal with the most likelihood of this problem: when i turn the ignition on the bike will turn over but wont fire so i turn the ignition off and on again and it will start. im guessing this bike has an stock immobiliser, if you dont need a fob or button to use, so the transponder will be in the key, if this has moved inside or broken down and not touching the key metal it wont send the signal to the immobiliser. When u wiggle it it places it back to touching. The other possible though less likely is the connection or wire from the barrel to the immobiliser or even the immobiliser itself. On you idea of a toggle, you could try the motorcross route by having a magnetic switch that you mount to the handle bar hang with you keys. But ud still need to disable and unconnect the stock immobiler in the first place. But to be honest By the time youve hacked around the wiring to fit aToggle switch to the ignition, introducing another weak link into the already questionable/worn out component, tou might aswell just get another barrel and key...just to remember to switch the old transponder to the new key!!

Yep if trade animals wont touch it, even when they're being paid and its free there's definitely something bad! Lol

Oh and bender... bite my shiney bike... haha

Thats nowt Ill post a picture of mine and the misses key sets later, mine is with the garage having a mot and tyres done. and waits for the hire company to drop the fork lift truck so they can move the keys around the workshop

I agree with bullfrog and bender... apart from the evening of what bullfrog will do to JD's unsupervised ... the world is not ready for that mind warping possibility if it was shared with the world. just to add my wifes supr moist carrot cake is the best kept secret....shhhhhh! The Yorkshire wife would say that Yorkshire tea should not be tainted with foreign substances!! any other tea can have any thing put with it cos its so crap nothing can make it drinkable! Lol

Hi Isla, welcome! Nice looking bike, alternative to the norm for a good reason. Make yourself at home.

The only other engine possibles over the vtwin but are are better than the parallel twin for sound in my opinion is the inline 3s from triumph and recently the mt9... good torque low down and quite happy to rev out if you want is a smoother but still has low engaging vibes and the sound is say intoxicating. the daytona 955 i had sounded like a angry bear roar chewing on hornets and the sound engaged no matter what rev but under load omg!!! Bit like a race bmw e30/36 just half the size and very similar sound!

Yes as you say caterhams are good for two things and just wasted for every thing else. As u can guess now thats the thing when exotic or really wow bikes most are specialisted and you just end up with the caterham. There are a couple of bikes that arnt bothered about chancing the checkered flag but flaunt there looks and design is pretty much timeless, one that i alway remember is the broughs. Yep perfectly... from engine dynamics view: a vtwin will fit that best, bit like a American v8 or they can be smoother like a rs6 or mid term m5 in your car terms. The parallels are good allrounds but to some they dont seem to distinguished, a rougher or gravelly corse v10 like an latest m5 to a mid sized lambo). big singles are deep back roads, green lanes and off roads with plently of vibes like white finger and range from sowing machine honda 125 to 690+ of ktm duke or road works jack hammer. inline 4 are like well inlines...lol.

Agree with the others. Yes it can...down once at very low revs without much skill to do a reasonable job, doing down two or more in reasonable succession without muscle memory to match what is needed makes it quicker but jirker and if the fewer cylinders you have the worst it will feel if you cant. The bigger the the two differences the harder. Get it wrong with too much throttle to match will jerk the bike forward , goes neutral drive to moderate positive drive to back down to neutral drive as it Slows down up with the drag of forces. or defeating the object if not worse in the first place by suddenly and momentarily holding then suddenly having to speed back up like locking it up or part of the " backing it in" technic. goes neutral drive to high negative speed as engine is slower in speed, then has to speed back up to a neutral drive to match the speed of the bike it is going reducing friction drag as giving the drive shaft, slipper if it has one, clutch, chain, suspension especially the forks and tyre work harder than it had to the normal way. So as long as the throttle matches with Drive for the revs, but just being smooth with the clutch in the first place is simpler, better, and far more forgiving to just the clutch alone even if you just get that wrong.
