but that scam man looks like he's making a good living from this!!! [/quote]


Isn't he just!!!!

Please all be aware of this con artist going around other vehicle forums: This has happened on several forums apparently and people have lost money. They might get it back through Paypal eventually but in the meantime they've lost it. Thought I'd post it her just to warn people - also for the admins...

I use them. Quoted me £160 to renew my 2000 Suzuki Bandit, and then £151 for my Firestorm, with the Scorpion cans fitted.

Never had to claim, so can't say what there claims service is like, but customer service is ok!

HTH

Thanks. I have spent a lot of time and money getting it to how i like it and you all slate it.

Just because my taste isn't the same as yours then its 'shite' is it you miserable bunch of *********

Fitted it all back a couple of days ago, checked the timing, new oil, filter and plugs. Fresh coolant etc. Turned her over by hand a few times and all was running free Shaking as i went to start her, in case i had forgotten something. Hit the starter button. Nothing, nada, nil....... Sh1t, sh1t, and...

Took the rear cylinder off today. First chance i have had as luckily i do not start work until 1700. Actually came off quite easily. Was harder to get the rear exhaust pipe and carbs off! Anyway, with it all off i have had a good look at it. It appears that the exhaust valves are damaged, as even th...

Am looking at borrowing a compression tester so that should tell me a bit more..... Also, am gonna replace the plugs as well, but how do i check that the spark is good, just by checking it agains a metal part or is there another way, and is there a way of testing the coil? Sorry to sound like a nump...

Thats exactly how i have set them up, checked front marks, turn 3/4 anti clockwise, then set up with marks facing out.... Really peed off jnow,as it looks as if i will have to pay someone to look at it, and at the mo i don't have any spare cash, so looks like it will have to sit there for a while....

Both facing outwards.......

Okay. Dreaded rattle from rear CCT. Stopped her immediately. Have redone the timing as it was out on the rear and is now spot on with all marks. Checked botrh front and rear. Whilst the cover was off I checked all the valve tolerances and they were spot on. Put back together and double checked the f...

Took it apart again to have another look. Checked valve clearances, all are within tolerances, which is good.....I think!!!! Re checked the timing and it looks like the rear is 1 tooth out........ I think it's because i was in a foul mood when i did it so didn't take as much care as maybe i should. ...

Just a quick question. If the CCT went and was replaced, would the engine still turnover if valves had been damaged? Also, if the timing was out, would the bike still run, albeit poorly? If it would run, what are the symptoms of the timing being wrong, say a tooth out? Sorry to saound such a pleb......

THanks for tyhe help guys.

Hasve spoken to Scorpion who have out me in touch with a local dealer (PDQ). They can supply all 4 for £30, not too bad i suppose...

When i had my Sv a few years ago i put a set of High Levels on. I was still able to use the pillion footrests as there was a large spacer fitted to each mounting point. Now i have my High Level Scorpions i have had to remove the footrests and my boy hasn't been on the bike for a few weeks. Does anyo...

As long as he can reach the pegs and is ok about it then not a prob. My lad goes on the bike to school, and for other things. He has full kit and loves it. Very good passenger and all his mates talk about him going to school on the back of dads bike. Mind you he is 21.......... Not really, he's 8...
