Thanks :thumbup: I love it, I juts need to find the throttle.
:biggrin

Get that fan wobble sorted Virt. Fairing off, undo a couple of bolts that hold the rad in place and pull it out the way. You can then take the fan off and investigate. It's either not sitting right on the motor shaft or the bearing has worn. :thumbup:

Well of course I'm going to be slow, it's not a bike I know extremely well like the Hornet :lol:

Yeah, gonna take a look this weekend hopefully. It's interesting that it didn't start to happen until after you got us lost, can I blame it on you? :biggrin

I think it's more of a case that the fan got some use. Even Gaz heard the fan for the first time. :lol:

Is that aimed at the fact I managed wheel bearings or nearly being killed by a cyclist? :lol:

I was coming round a right hand bend, nice open one, around 70mph and spotted this cyclist long before the corner coming towards the road from the left (little country road) as I got to the corner he looked right at me. As I was half way round the corner, level with his exit onto my lane, he just pulls out into the middle of my lane and looked at me like it was my fault. This of course pushed me onto the wrong side of the road on a bend but luckily nothing was coming toward me. I remember seeing his face in my mirror when I looked back and he just look discusted that I nearly hit him and he was in the right 8O some of these cyclist are dangerous.

Looking good Seb, I wouldn't mind borrowing the gixxer for a long weekend.... please?! :D :D

I had one (04 I think) for a few weeks, LOVED IT! Be great on track, but I prefer the Storm on the road ;)
