Re: Custom ear plugs

I use Ultimate Ear plugs for my intercom with the wife. Love them. They can get uncomfortable after a full day on the bike & in very hot climate, you can get sweaty ears that can make them move slightly.
For me though, I would definitely buy again.

Have you seen what C90's go for these days - even a box of bits is enough to give you a heart attack :eek2 I remember finding them down the woods when I was a kid, I bet you'll be lucky to get one under a grand :confused

Re: Mopedathon May 22nd

It’s more a war of attrition! :lol: The amount of bikes that start but don’t finish is quite high. Reasoning the laps aren’t timed or counted is because making it a ‘race’ makes massive implications on the event insurance. No different than when the club runs an Airfield Riding Day (ARD) That doesn’...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

I've always had one fitted but had to relocate it. I've no fuel tap on mine so no vacuum pipe, just a straight connection to the pump. What do you have connection wise - or do you mean the tap now has no diaphragm in it? That’s the route I am going. When I had the bike on the dyno, we didn’t use th...

Re: rev counter not working or intermittent

Did you sort this? I had an errant tacho needle, it was showing like I was on a 2 stroke (off the scale)or nothing, I removed all the wires off the back of the instrument cluster and cleaned them up with my dremel. Seemed to do the trick. :thumbup:

Re: Ongoing Fueling issues

I’ve still not checked the breather on the tank - I totally forgot if I’m honest, I have just got a 2nd hand fuel tap (I broke mine in a tired strop (removed the valve so that it is always open but broke the cast centre piece!) Anyway, once it warms up a bit, I’ll be having a fiddle! The first ARD p...
