Obviously, an experienced tuner is going to be the best person to advise you accordingly, but... If I can put a theoretical spin on it. In the last 6 months, as part of one of my degree modules, I spent quite a bit of time with a flow bench and doing LOTS of calculations for the flow of gases into a...

Am more interested in how to benefit a bike with the aid of thermal energy recovery. The pipes just waste massive amount of heat energy into the atmosphere. If an efficient system can be designed and implemented, the energy gained from the exhaust system could potentially be used in several ways, i....

I am wondering if anyone on here is a thermal energy engineer or works within a company that does a bit with thermodynamics. The reason being is I will be beginning my final year in university (beginning of the end....) as of September and I want to do my dissertation on thermal energy recovery so l...

Maybe an Alram worth getting! :thumbup: Bike already sports a thatchman approved lock and chain, anchored to side gate by front window/ door where the two dogs sleep at night with an owner who can hop out of bed as soon as...

Maybe general chat would be the best place for this but can anyone recommend a good alarm for the VTR please?

if you can be bothered/want to pursue it further it might be worth checking it all out legally? there are laws regarding sale of goods and provision of services that their warranty/conditions cant operate outside of. ^ Very valid point there... I can't recall you mentioning where you purchased the ...

Is it within the warranty if work was carried out by an approved garage?

oooh a white one!!! Not any more.... http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/Kirstkirs/DSC_0002.jpg Lacquer still going off at this stage but I fear it's going to look clean enough that I'll have to polish the rest of the bike :Argue 1: The argument I'm having with myself right now is do I (attempt...

Yeah, bought an under tray like the one above, but cheaper... ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/98-05-Honda-Firestorm-Undertray-VTR1000-Undertray-Huggers-soon-/251537988281?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item3a90d51ab9 ). Some colour match from the local paint distributors (hope this turns out ok :eh:...

So... Is it best to trim the current undertray to hold all the gubbins in place as it has been so successfully over the years and how much should I consider cutting off (so not to get to eager and take to much ).

As always, thanks in advance.

Didn't think to look before due to the often inflated prices these days but my local (M&P's) sells all balls at a reasonable price.... Link: http://www.mandp.co.uk/productsList.aspx?style=0&kw=Bearings&bike=235-2000 Plus I know two of the lads there so they may be able to offer a couple ...

Thanks all.
I've put all balls fork seals in recently and will agree with the above that they appear to be of good quality...

As per title, would anyone possibly have the codes for the bearings of the:

Head stock (would like to put tapers in...)
Front wheel
Rear wheel and sprocket carrier

Would like to source some at a decent price prior to stripping the bike down as it's in daily use.

As always, any help appreciated.

I've used sharp tests for a number of years when deciding on a lid quality vs. price. For the first time ever, I bought something last year with only a four start rating... A scorpion EXO 400 (this one: http://www.compacc.com/images/product/300/40706_3.jpg ). The first and LAST time too. Where sharp...

Has the spindle been removed and checked for woody-woodpecker playing a prank...
