Its mint mate, been bulletproof so far and its seen a lot long days up in the revs as well

million miles better on the 190/55 M7RR than those PR3's i had on it, god they was awful in comparison

would have been out for a pootle today had it not been for the lack of engine oil

Glad it wasn't new oil that would have really pissed me off.

Want to play out on the gas gas but need to get a washer tac welded onto the end of the sprocket shaft as the circlip won't stay in place, also it sounds like someone cutting a house in half with the race pipe on it so looking for a cheap original one so the old bill don't bother me, need to get it sorted soon as i don't want to be using the gsxr when the roads get shitty

Anyone fitted one of these? supposedly fully automatic and no vacuum to hook up or electrics and you don't have to remember to turn it on and off, also its very cheap

Too good to be true?

Tell me about it, I had to ride an old CB250N with about 10bhp for a about 6 weeks years ago while my VTR was on the mend. When I jumped back on the VTR it was like wow... Culture shock, hello power my old friend

Made good use of the beautiful weather and had a splendid ride at high velocity through Hertfordshires green and pleasant lanes. Nice.
