Well looks like i'll asking for brake discs for christmas, popped the front wheel out tonight and as soon as i got it on the bench i could see the problem, the disc is 'dished', popping a level across the face of the disc showed it up straight away, not bad for 30,000 miles i guess. David Silver has...

Thanks for that mate, thats a big help i know what i'm aiming for now, thanks for your trouble.

Any of you lot know what gap in mm you have between the discs and the fork legs?

Thanks for the suggestions, will check it out over the weekend and let you know what i find.

Bearings haven't been changed, checked the manual for the correct fitting of the spindle and looks ok but i'll strip it out over the weekend and double check.

Just had the bike MOT'd this morning, passed all ok but got a advisary note on the front right hand ( as you stand infront looking at the bike ) brake disc fowling the fork slightly. Had a quick look at it with the guy at the garage and the spacers appear to be on the correct sides and nothing looks...

i'll certainly be interested in some, keep us in the picture.

Having seen the various posts on this i thought i'd check the output from mine, i put a multi meter accross the battery terminals as previously described in the posts and without the engine running i had just over 13volts, not too bad i thought!, ran the engine and repeated the test, 18.5volts!, obv...

hi mate,
I thought the clearance was a bit pants too, i,ve but a washer under the two fixings points for the tail section at the top just infront of the electronic control units, this raises the tail section a bit and closes the gap between the hump and the tail section.

Anybody know the cheapest place to but a K&N airfilter??

Please Note!!, Don't be left feeling like a stupid person (like me!) If you have a problem with an apparant misfire from 6K and up CHECK YOUR TIMING PROPERLY!, i've just spend several months trying to sort my bike after a front CCT failure which a 'garage' 'fixed?' for me. When checking/setting the ...

I Can't believe it!!!!!, after all this time i've finaly fixed it!!!!!!!, followed Sirch's instructions at the weekend and 'hey presto', it turns out that the bike shop that originally fixed the bike after a CCT failure nearly a year ago had set the timing up 180 degrees out!, after i got the bike b...
