Re: Clutch slipping in 3rd/4th gear all of a sudden
On my VFR I had a similar symptom. It turned out that my slave cylinder was leaking very slighlty and the fluid had crystalised in the chamber. It's very easy to check. Any problems then clean it all out, replaced the seals (set costs about £20), new clutch fluid. I would change the engine oil first...

Paired Tyre Deals
I have just visited M&P to buy new grips and noticed they have some paired tyre deals. VTR1000F sizes. Battlax 016 £120 pair. Maxxis Supermaxx £99 Pirelli Diablo £139. They are the only ones I can remember but there are many others. I think they are an extra £10 delivered. Could be worth checkin...

Re: It's alive!
Chain fitted, loobman fitted, took it for an MOT today and it sailed through. First proper ride on the VTR and I like it. I can now proceed to alter it a little for my height and also fit Fabiostars fettled Firestorm forks.
I thought a little bit of alliteration was due on the site.

Re: It's alive!
Rear end cleaned and waiting delivery of the new chain and sprockets. The more I clean, the more little problems I find. The forks could do with a refurb as they have pitting on the chrome. (10 owner bike).
