I got em! Very nice chap called Paul helped me put em on there and then. You meet some v cool people in biking. And the sound superb. Like a teenage dream of what a bike should be. :twisted: Cheers for the feeback Del. I have not adjusted anything yet as they seem to run fine. How do I adjust the &q...

I rang busters today. Theyre still selling ART cans for £150 plus 3 quid delivery.

I used to own an old ZZR which ate front disks so I know a warp when I feel it.

I put some cheap ones on my VTR and thought it was warped disks. Didnt get worse though and when I changed to better H style disks the judder went away.

Didnt Ride have a go at stopping oil spills from overfilled trucks? Trouble is, I remember how I drove before I learned to ride. They didnt mention bikes much when I was learning. Didnt hit anything or have anything hit me but I used to hoon my old car down bristol roads. The filtering thing is anno...

Just read this from another thread "This problem seems like the standard VTR idle-clunk-die problem. Usually rectified by getting the carbs balanced and turning the idle speed up slightly". I am a bit overdue on my 15 thou mile service so perhaps I do need balancing. It only happens very o...

But what causes it? Anyone know?

Cheers

Have you got Hartgate to take the bike back yet? They really dont have a leg to stand on. But, with things like this its worth working one em steadily, keeping a record of correspondence and following up on any threats to talk to trading standards. I really wouldent try to fix it yourself. Who knows...

my 1999 vtr kina catches when idling every once in a while. It feels like the clutch plate half engaging. I dont think its a real problem because my Honda dealer told me its a characteristic of all vtr's. does anyone else get it? Does anyone know what actually is happening?

Ok, got a 1999 vtr firestorm and were the best of friends. But my lil bro just got a cbr with a blue flame exhaust and his bad boy sound is annoying me. Got another mate offering Leo vinci open race cans (titanium) for £130. I imagine they'll more than do the job. I assume the price is right but is...
