Cheers Kaz it is due a new chain and sprocket, was trying to hold off until the weather improved as I use it regularly but if it has to be changed then so be it. Thanks again

Just noticed this sound quite recently, bike is still running perfectly,has 27000 on the clock, would really prefer if it did not blow up!!!!

That is great so my engine is not trying to up its lunch? My mind is eased Cherrs to all

Thanks to all but I should have mentioned it the first time, when the slap happens you can feel it like a thump from under the tank, scares the sh1t out of me sometimes on roundabouts, makes me stand it up before I realise what it is.

Getting occasional piston slap, front cylinder only at low revs or when rolling off the throttle again at low revs. Any of you grease monkey experts can help??

Ok Tempest, found the box amongst all the crap! If you go to clearalternatives.com and it is Part# ctl-0044 IT. The IT is for integrated taillights but you can get just a direct replacment with just tail and brake lights.

Its the torque and the way everyone turns when they hear that v-twin thud even when you are just cruising. Personally not bothered about the tank range, did 2500 miles in a week across europe with two mates on ZX-6R and GSXR-600, I was comfortable, they were behind! ha ha!

RED a million times RED. Repeat after me RED RED RED!

Cheers guys, already have the EBC HH pads, going to change the hoses and try all your suggestions, have all week off and she is at work, great!

Ithink I still have the box in the garage somewhere, I will see if I can find it and let you know as soon as. I got it on the net from the UK, the unit has about fifty LEDs in it and the indicators cause the LEDs on the relevant half of the unit to flash amber, very bright and high vis

Sorry cant help but if you find out somewhere else do let us know, I would be interested myself

Puts a smile on the face every time, yeah? Enjoy, good days are going to be few and far between

Foe those of you that use it, any hints on how to improve it, It doesnt help the handling when I have to stand on it to get any effect! Changed the pads, serviced the calipers ,etc, etc, etc

Dont know about their legality in the UK, but I have one on my storm and they look great, come with the relays to make sure they flash at the right speed and fit simply, although mine came with US colour wiring, have a few spare fuses ready and prepare for some trial and error

I dont have a problem with Blades as such, but if honda are not careful all their bikes will look the same and us twin fans like a bit of character, dont we?On the plus side the car drones should have no prob hearing that 1200 whump!!!!!!
