Welcome. As for things that need to be done...
What the others have already written.

Welcome. Enjoy.

Thinking of selling the VTR and getting a Triumph 955I Daytona. Always wanted one and can't have 2 bikes so the storm would have to go. Still just thinking about it and the decision will be made after the summer. Am I making a mistake? Love my vtr, never lets me down, always enjoy the grunt and noi...

Sorry if it reads like a 12 year old, thats my reading age, as Im dyslecix! So, grammer police please cut be some slack. :biggrin Daz :cool2 Welcome Daz. Loads of info and knowledge on here. The good news is that I haven't come across any grammar police on here. All the retentive discusions I have ...

All fuels can have up to 5% added. If you get standard unleaded it probably has 5% Ethanol. The Super Unleaded are a bit of a lottery and depend upon the supplying refinery. The Special Super Duper High octane fuels that are becoming more common are something of a mystery and how much Ethanol conten...

Perhaps E10 fuel is having a detrimental effect on the plastic floats.
Hoping it doesn't get introduced widely in the UK. 5% is bad enough.

What caused them to be low?
Are they holed or bent or is the plastic deformed where they contact the float valve?

I fitted a RennTec combined rack and pillion handle. Doesn't seem like it will take much weight.

Unpacked them today. That's pretty sticky tape you used, it pulled some of the fork lowers paint off. Ho hum, life is hard. Unsure when I will fit them as I am really busy for the next few weeks and I'd rather ride than spanner. So cheers Rob.

I know the thread is ancient but if you still have the handlebars I would be interested.

Scratch that, I am trying some convertibars.

Welcome. I have just started riding one. It's a good machine. Should provide some meaty grins.

Semi synth not fully synth oil or it may slip more. If it's had fully synth before and that is the cause of slipping then it may take a while for the semi synth to decontaminate the clutch plates. I have just changed my oil and used fully synth 10w/40 motorcycle oil. Is this a bad idea with the VTR?

I am thinking of going to this as it is probably only an hour from me. Looks like it may be fun.
Last on in 2014. Has anyone been before?
