Cheers Pete!

Well have booked in anyway.. The met office can refund me if it is not sunny as they have promised!

Sat 8am start at Lydden Hill near to Canterbury if anyone fancies joining..
Call 01304 830557 - give 'em your deets and job done.

Superb! If bloody only I was gonna look like that in the wet.

Forecast is looking up a bit anyway so could be game on!

Right then.. I'm going to be selling the storm and moving to Oz very soon. I have never done a track day and really want to. I was looking at this weekend for Lydden Hill but now weather looks like it's going to be proper shite. I could wait but the next one available / possible would be Brands Hatc...

Bloody awesome! Number 3 was my favourite...

Great - thanks guys. Liking the KISS idea.. keeping it simple that is, not kissing forum members by way of gratitude...

Oh yeah - it is crap on the earth wire and I know I need a new shock really!

And yeah reckon this is where all the oil is going so in the end a bit of a result...

Cheers again

Cheers Benny,

To check I have this right as I didn't put the ccts in so not hugely familiar with it all.

Is the bolt coming out totally? Or do I just unwind the locking nut and degrease etc with the bolt in position/

Thanks matey...

It is leaking oil which is coming through the nut and down along the bolt. The picture tries to show this. It is only a very small amount. As per previous posts I seem to be losing about a litre every 1.5k miles but I would like to sort it. Any ideas on how to fix this? Don't spose I can just use a ...

Guess not!

My Maxxis tyres definitely stopped me at short distance today when a lorry decided to turn without signalling...

Right that does sound a bit more promising. Thanks Benny. Will give the engine a proper clean over the weekend and see if I can find the leak...

Cheers

Hi all, I fear this could be expensive... My 02 storm, 33k miles is using about 1litre of oil every 1.5k miles. The exhaust isnt smoky. Am I right in thinking this is likely to be the valve guides and / or piston rings? If so how much does it cost to sort this? It would be way beyond me! The other p...

I replaced mine with hyperpro progressive springs for about 100 quid and it makes a huge difference...

Thanks for your help Phil. I've been thinking that it may be an intermittent fault with the alarm. It's a Datatool system 3... sorry it was a Datatool System 3. All it is now a heap of dead circuit boards at the bottom of a bin! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: A bit fiddly to get out but only a couple...

Can you post your email log in and password so we can read it please mate?.!

Right my bike had a flat battery again the other day and this is a brand new battery. A couple of weeks ago you may remember I had a problem with my reg/rec connections which I have fixed. There is now a steady charge of 14 to 15v going into the battery on tickover and at 5k revs. I have also checke...
