your all mad the whole ferking lot of you :lol: You have to remember that Tony's Storm is like Triggers broom... Had the same bike for 10 years...four different engines & two different frames... What? just four? I stopped counting when I blew up engine number three, and swapped the frame over f...

:lol: :lol: :lol: @mac That not good news Tony, I hope it's not too serious. I knew you should not have cleaned the bike. :roll: (:-}) Wait! Hold on a moment here... He cleaned it?! That explains it... Then it's all his own fault... :wink: Mine is still overdue for it's bi yearly cleaning of 2009.....

Well... I have to say you are taking it a lot better than I would have...

I'm about to put my race engine on a dyno for the first time... If that blows up, I'm likely to follow suit...

You may outpost me.... but ya kinna beat my seniority, muahahahahahahahahah nice to see you and Markus over here...... and I have no doubt you will both exceed my postings before too long........ but I go for quality instead of quantity... :cool2 lol P.S. just kidding on the last smart-ass comment ...

Most non bike specific oils have a bunch of "energy conserving" additives in them, that the clutch most definetly dislikes... If there are no "energy conserving" sticker/badge, usually it's fine, but read the fineprint...

Yeah you probably will, ya blabbermouth... And I'm not going to be that far behind...

Machine Mart sell a C spanner kit for bikes. Well... The tool to adjust the suspension really isn't a "C spanner", but a much more odd shaped one, with a bend that most such that are "universal" doesn't have... Without it, the angle once you have it in there makes it impossible ...

Markus, as you are talking 3 hp in the mids, may I assume 2-4 lb-ft of torque then? did the peak torque number go up? cheers Peak did go up slightly, but more than that it spread the peak out, and brought the ends of that curve up a little... Removed a few little lumps that had been annoying me... ...

Actually, a very good idea... ;) Real wheel axle is the same OD, and could be used...

Yes, you pull the swingarm bolt/axle out... Essentially splitting the bike in two halves, so you need to suspend it either with an Abba stand and a sling around the rear wheel/swing or something similar to hold it in place, otherwise things will move/bind and generally be a PITA... Other than that, ...

any one know were i can get one for my standard shock as i dident get a tool kit with the bike thanks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CBR600F-FS-FS1-FS2-SPORT-CBR-600-12-PIECE-TOOLKIT-KIT-WALLET-2001-2002-/281126525515?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item4174725a4b And yes, the contents is the s...

my shock has done just under 22000 if its the one on the bike from new it looks in good nick but as you no that don't mean any thing. when adjusting the rear spring is it just a mater of turning the bit on top of the spring with a c spanner or do you have to take the shock off the bike. i haven't e...

Well... Here I was thinking I had an original idea... :roll: Damn you mikstr for stealing my thunder... :twisted: I basically did the same as you... I took my trusty BMC road filter, and the stock filterbase, stuck them together and added a spacer... The same as you did... Then I copied the gutting ...

This is the first time I've seen this mod and personally think it is a bad move. I had these "stick" coils on my Triumph TT600 and they were a major weak point. Over time they can break down and then corrode which means that the coil expands and gets stuck which can be a nightmare to remo...

There's nothing wrong with talking to yourself, I do that all the time. :biggrin The best thing about it is, you ask yourself a question and you always get a decent answer :lol: (:-}) No idea what you're on about. I have arguments with myself cause I'm wrong and I'm right and I don't believe it.. T...
