agreed, that green one is lush. i'd feel like a right plum on a race replica bike. It reminds me of many years ago seeing Kevin Schwantz riding through town on an RGV250, well you would have sworn it was him. Anyhow he wasn't best pleased when my mate got down on his knees infront of him at the ligh...

The dearest garage on the Isle of Man is currently 99.9p for a litre of super unleaded. The cheapest place is 96.9p. Diesel has been 99.9 at most garages for a few weeks. We are led to belive that its the fuel duty that does the most harm and that petroleum companies only make a penny or two on each...

Dot5 is silicon based and should be changed all the time, ideal for racing but not for road use unless bleading brakes is you favorite past time :D I suggest flushing the whole system through with Dot 5.1 (AP stuff is cheap and good) and go from there. It could also be some trapped air in the system...

£34 each, not fitted them myself, i went for standard honda ones

get an extra £150 and have set custom made for you by http://www.celtic-leathers.com

no matter how good an off the shelf suit feels it will never compare to a custom made one, plus you can decide what colour and design it will be!

I'm wondering if the HRC one off a CBR600 would do, I had to replace the HRC one on my race bike, was about £50-60 i think for the housing and throttle tube, however it used a different "A" cable and you had to modify the "b" cable end with a file. I think it could be a lot of h...

it could also be the floating discs? since you cleaned the calipers up the disc could be more free to move around on the rotor.

I had HRC discs on my CBR and they had loads of free play which sounded like the head bearing/loose brake caliper when you rocked the bike with the front brake applied.

I put some on yesterday, both bolts were covered in white furry stuff where the alloy had corroded.

They were stiff but not to the point of breaking. On a 97 so they've been in a while.

Their skin, police and paramedics problem, and maybe a fire crew to wash the bone and skin fragments out of the tarmac

Bike Torque do Barnett clutch springs for £10, I've used these before in a couple of race bikes and they are spot on.

If the bike is used just for the track then its something i'd definately do anyway.

I've been looking at the DHM from motrax, they have a braket so you dont have to drill the fairing, and are only £39.99

i just got my VTR and have set the suspension as per a performance bikes setup guide that my mate had. He had done the same with his 94 blade highly recommended their settings. Forks: Preload - second ring Rebound - quarter turn out from full in Shock Preload - second notch from bottom (third for tr...

Hello everyone, i'm no doubt going to be spending a lot of time browsing what appears to be a very fine forum so here is a little about myself: I've been riding bike since I was 16 in 1994 and then racing bikes from 1999 to August 2003 when a big accident in the Manx Grand Prix on a CBR600 put an st...
