Cheers, I have managed to establish that 6th gear isn't much use at legal speeds!

I've experienced this a couple of times recently. Once when nipping in front of a van which caused the bike to lurch embarrassingly and earlier today when I was thrashing it a bit more. Clunky gear changes are becoming rarer I think though

Took her for my best blast yet round Box Hill and Leith Hill today and am staring to feel comfortable with opening up a bit, dialling in a few revs and slipping the clutch, awesome! Laughing out loud to myself at times Still not done a ton though

Ok, so after a good run today I parked up with the tank almost empty and the drip was worse, up to one every second. It seems to be coming from a metal fuel connector thing just beneath the rear of the tank on the LHS as you sit on the bike. Any ideas?

And have now got a socket wrench handle capable of dealing with the rear axle nut. But could still do with a paddock stand / one of them Abba things

A few times after putting the bike on the stand I've noticed smoke coming up from the exhaust pipe where it runs in front of the rear wheel. Definitely not a hole in the pipe. Seems to be a drip of fuel landing on it, coming off a plastic or rubber flappy bit (for want of a more technical term) some...

Like the top box!

And have ordered some Kreiger CCTs

A digression from the main topic but... My understanding is that, if you do over 100mph or double the speed limit its a 6 rather than 3 point offence, which means you have to appear in court, and the magistrate must consider a ban, but doesn't have to. I happen to be fairly well informed about this ...

Full marks with the MOT Agent P! :clap: Ain't even seen my baby today and didn't exactly do anything to her yesterday, but did have a short morning blat to buy her a present off Gum Tree. I went for an Oxford tank bag but then he produced a Caberg flip top helmet with built in sun visor that fits pe...

With a 16 litre tank and a lot of people reporting c. 80 miles before the light comes on, that should mean c. 20 miles in reserve.

I'd say about 3 litres, cos when I filled up just after the light came on, I v nearly got 13 litres in and it's a 16 litre tank.

Welcome from another new member/owner hoping to sort his CCTs out soon.

Thanks, nearly there with your post count!

What have I done to my bike today? 1) Fixed front indicator back on. (Must have knocked it off removing the dust cover. It's a 1998 bike but the holes for the indicators look shaped for the blobby ones on later models. I've got little after-market LEDs which don't really fit the holes that well, but...

I'm intending to come, but won't get there until 3.30ish. Hoping to see a few more VTRs there!
