I have been wrestling with a misfire on my VTR. Swapping out coils to rule out that side of things. No joy.
A stock bike with no mods at all
I am now wondering if it is a carb diaphragm issue. I am pretty sure it is fuel feed / carb related now.
Keep looking next week now

Plugs.

he wouldn't open his foot.

WTF Is that a double typo for door. LOL It never ceases to amaze me how many people do thing while driving that they shouldn't be doing and it's going to get worse with modern tach..

Final bits and pieces fixed. Ready for MOT in the week.

Yesterday had a visit from Steve Vanpants & we changed his callipers over for a set of 929 job's with a 600f4i M/C...

He brought over a front disc for me as I have an MOT advisory for play in me bobins...Only he brought the left when I wanted a right...DOH...

So today I had another visit from Mr Vanforgetfull who brought the right one over...

Then we went over to meet flojo over in Stanford-le-hope for a bit of stand swapage...His bike is very nice & well sorted apart from std CCt's although they may have a stopper mod fitted, the inspection cap has been butcherd so may well have been off.

The only other strange thing is that he is a spitting image of fabio ! Same height & everything...

On the way home I visited the private test track near me as well & gave it some beans...

I did lose it with a Guy fecking watching an I player whilst driving, he swerved out as i was filtering. I certainly threw a few fecks into him. I got off at a junction and he wouldn't open his foot. A bloke behind also was poised off with him as he had been wandering apparently. Obviously no Cops about. He also had 2 kids and his Mrs in the car.

I was amazed at the amount of people texting at the wheel, you could clearly see them looking down in there door mirrors.

I'm glad everything went okay, impressive mileage. Yes there are some ferking idiots out there,

Chris.

southampton to Truro and back via the coast roads

A few hundred miles round the coast today to clear the big girls lungs out

Spirited ride with my friends.

One on a TLS 1000 and the other on a Db1.

Lots of bikes out, cracking day and great fun.

Haven't managed to get on the bike for weeks now

Fitted a nice Tyga hugger

almost got my bike back together after my little incident in Devon....
forks straightened by motorliners in Maidstone. whilst they were apart I took the time to repaint the lowers. big thanks to carl for helping me put them back together.

I have sprayed my header pipes and cans with some VHT Hycoat Lacquer. Lovely stuff to apply and does not need heat to cure.
