Re: "Cafe racers" (or whatever)

I know it's a bit "mainstream" if that's even possible for a custom bike builder, but the BMW Concept 90, which the eventual RNineT was based on, remains one of my favourite looking bikes of all time.. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/17/64/21/176421cba7bc4b73bd3d1b58ad64857f.jpg...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Yesterday after work I backed the preload all the way back to the 2nd notch, it was on the 5th or around there, far too hard... I also backed the rebound off on the front forks a bit as it was wound all the way in :crazy: Anyway after a short blast down a fairly bumpy local backroad its much improve...

Re: 41mm clip on bars to fit??

The thing that puts me off is modifying the fairing, I think I'll leave it unless some cheap spare fairings come up for sale

Re: 41mm clip on bars to fit??

Have you got any pictures of that with the modified fairing?

I might give this a go myself if the standard clip ons become too much on the wrists

Re: Fan?

Check the usual, earths, shorts, make sure your battery voltage when running is correct, if the R/R is on its way out it could be causing a spike in voltage and taking out your new switches

Re: What bike have I got

A Suzuki DR200 Djebel?

Re: Hi all

Mine has really cheap looking carbon effect plastic indicators fitted, which are known to add at least 40bhp at the back wheel, so mines definitely faster 8)

I'm sensing a Yellow Vs Red thing going on here 8)

Blue doesn't get a look in because no one wants a blue firestorm ;)

Re: Hi all

The other thing I forgot to mention is the suspension... Ohlins fork internals and a 6mm spacer in the rear shock, I've never ridden a stock one to compare it to and I've not had a chance to ride it properly yet but I'm looking forward to seeing how it handles
