At the end of last season i bought a Scorpion EXO500 Air Biometal from J&S in doncaster. About £200 with internal sunvisor and inflatable cheek pads. really comfey lid and with the cheek pads you'll never have the helmet getting loose thing! :D It's like Reebok pump on ya Sweed!! It's not the li...

No tool kit with the bike unfortunatly. It's 16 years old, I'd have been amazed if it did come with one!!

I just got the halfords t-bar thing to.

The tool box is an ever expanding thing! just got new troque wrench and chain splitter! need more storage!!

So there i was in the garage yesterday, got my new chain & sprockets, oil & filter, K&N recharge jollop for the air filter, fluid for my brakes & clutch and last but not least, the spark plugs. I've got it all lined up with the tools for the day ready with some Red Bull for good meas...

I had a 1994 vfr 750 fr. Best bike ive owned to date (im still bonding with the VTR). I can honestly say its the only bike i miss. I've ridden the 800i and the vtec and the orginal 750 is the best IMO The 800i I rode the fuel injection was either on / off compared to the carbed 750 and not as good l...

Today its Oil & filter change, Chain & sprockets change, clean K&N air filter, change spark plugs, new front brake pads and get through 15 tubes of autosol!!!

Now where's the coffee!!!!

Depending on the application stainless is perfect! most places that do stainless sets are bleeding expensive but you can get bags of bolts of Ebay. I got a box of stainless allen head bolts, nuts and washers and contained most of the common sizes you'll need for engine cases and other bits £20 from ...

My dear ol' dad got busted 2 years ago on his Aprilia Tuono when the local council decided to to move a 30mph speed limit 1/4 of a mile further out of the village he lives in over night without putting up signs to tell motorists of the change aside from moving the 30mph sign. So the following day wh...

Regardless of what the fuzz say about " safety cameras" this is a total revenue generator! Nothing more! Over the last few years i've clocked loads of unmarked police vehicles in north yorkshire, Audi A4 eastates in silver BMW 5 series in black Volvo T5 estates in metalic red Volkswagon Go...

You guys have probably been allerted to this by now but its worth mentioning again. The 'ol bill up here have got a silver unmarked ford transit camera van roaming around north yorkshire at the moment. It's got blacked out rear windows and even a retractable awning mounted on the side like a flippin...

First off i'd like to appologise for the short and flippant responses I've posted. The only reason i sound pi$$ed off is since i've been on this forum there has been more nagativity about the VTR than any other bike ive ever owned (I tend to register with the relavant forums for the bike i have like...

so £150 plus VAT for shop time plus parts! quality!!

hmm, decision time stump up or sell up!

was that 3 to 4 hour job or 3 quarters of an hour?

where do i get manuals as they all seem to be in the USA.

had the bike a week and with all this doom im gonna sell it.

i havnt got the time, patience or desire to piss about with something so tempramental.

i want to ride bikes not have one in bits every five mins!

I do not have the mechanical knowelge to do this and the "sticky" makes no sence to me because i don't have the knowledge in the first place. round and round i go. I want diagrams or photos, materials and so on otherwise it moot! And can i actually BUY the stoppers or MANUALS or is it some...

A mechanic i have used for 10 years said there is no point changing the CCT with out good cause as i may end up with one that goes anyway and that its a total lottery, regardless of weather its changed or not. using the "if it aint broke don't fix" methodology. Also, a chap that i spoke to...
