Holliday675 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 i am now undecided if im gonna splash out on a whole new bike in the new year, so i thought i would take a ride to pure triumph in wellingborough on recomendation by the boss at work.... on either of these days to see if i can get some goodies (special parts) for mine... not really fussed when we leave if anyone is up for it just say what time etc.... then we will sort meeting point from there etc...... oh all weather depending rain = no ride for me lol Quote
Aaron Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I might be interested in a ride to Wellingborough if the weather is good because i'm in the process of applying for a job there. Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 you have got the bike show coming up at the NEC will be more bargins there i would of thought Quote
acemastr Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Definitely in, need to take the bike for a run Seen my new'un Sam? Quote
nman1 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Put up day and time Sam and I`ll try and make it. Quote

Guest Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 dunno what i'll be doing to be honest, the other half's sister's birthday saturday, doubt I could make it out unless it's an early one saturday, back by 11.30ish at the latest. Sunday a no go. Don't arrange it around me though! Quote
Guest Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 ill go if someone we are back from the south coast and someone wants to take me * does innocent cute face* Quote
acemastr Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Weather looking good, rain Fri night but nice on Sat. Looking forward to the ride, had enough of crappy wet roads and me being scared lifeless of dropping my shiny new bike, even with crash bungs! Quote
Aaron Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 With these low temperatures the roads will still be wet on Saturday nad maybe sunday, but at least there should be some dry lines.I got my crash bungs delivered today. Just need a torque wrench. Quote
acemastr Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Just screw the damn things in as tight as you can without shoving your body weight on it Quote
Guest Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 no, use a torque wrench. Got one that goes as low as 20Nm, probably a bit higher than required Aaron (i need to get one for motorbike, most tightnesses are around 10-14Nm) Quote
Aaron Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 My instructions that came with them say the bracket that attaches to the engine are 48N/m and the mushrooms that attach to the bracket are 25N/m.The don't require any drilling, hence the bracket. Quote
acemastr Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I'd hope that's a damn strong bracket, 45nm is... not far off the front sprocket torque which most people can't even get off. Basically it's put your entire weight behind it.Get a torque wrench Quote

Guest Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 45Nm actually doesn't sound too far off, as crash bungs normally go in the main support bolt for the engine (so don't take both sides out at the same time!)as they're those values, you can borrow the wrench if you like (you may need it to get the originals off - you need a big moment!).

Holliday675 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 right if sunday is gonna be the best day then think we should make it sunday however if we are doing sunday i would prefer to go a bit earlier coz i would like to be back by 130 so if we said 945 at the marina .... should be there in good time and back at a good time.... Quote
Guest Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 me and mark might come, just post up the final details and we will check Quote
