Re: Crash bobbins - which ones do you rate?

+1 to the R&G's.

...they saved most of my bike after a lowside on track.

Replacement bung & bolt was cheap & easy order from R&G too.

Re: Brands Hatch GP Trackday - 26th June 2009

Storm is a great bike on track IMO... but I would recommend spending some cash to sort the forks & shock if you can.... then slap a rear shock spacer in there to sharpen the handling even more & bobs your uncle !!

Odometer question

Hey folks

Finally got round to fitting my +2 Tooth rear sprocket yesterday :D

Now I realise this will put my speedo out a bit, but what about the odometer will this be affected (i.e. is it measured at the same place)?

Thanks

Re: Brands Hatch GP Trackday - 26th June 2009

But if you need a place to stay, I'm only 15 mins away from the circuit. Cheers for the offer Tony, but I'm only 30 mins away myself (south london!) ...& hopefully won't be needing any workshop facilities - but it has been known :oops: Any other takers? How about Gilson on his new SP2 :wink: .....

Re: Explanations ......

Another one.... When i fitted a new side stand switch last week i had to remove the sprocket cover to route the switch cable , then bolted the cover back in place. I was then surprised to find i had lost the pressure in my clutch lever,it was coming freely more or less all the way to the handlebar ...
