If you fancy a trip to Rufforth near York (tell Vic you think it'll will be a great idea to combine a trip to see her folks) then you'll pick one up really cheap. It's on this Saturday, and I might be going. :wink: managed to get one from flegay from dkbikes ( think it was ) £35 ish inc P&P. i...

I am probably wrong on this one as im sure i have seen bikes with the HID lighting but im sure i have read somewhere that they are illegal on bikes.. but what you said might be the reason why ... i only read some where and i very rarely read all of something unless it has pictures so its just an une...

im still yet to speak to some one who used to use a high end road tyre and tried the maxxis in both wet and dry..

sooooooooooo has any one actually tried these yet? i have always been a believer in you get what you pay for.. you go to tescos n buy a rump steak for £3 or you go to a farm shop and buy the same weight steak for £10 you know where your extra £7 has gone... the fact the maxxis are so cheap is a p...

what battery is supposed to fit the 02 plate storm? have found various results from web searches. and yes i have checked my current one but from vibrations its rubbed off the stickers saying what model number the battery is. only reason i question it is one type is over £60 and yet i find others fo...

i feel the pressure go from the clutch lever then come back but even after pressure is returned in the clutch the engine is fully engaged. Surely then thats an issue in the master/slave cylinder or clutch line - maybe needs bleeding due to air in the system or a leak ? Bring it over, got some fluid...

welcome,,

bummer, i just moved from that neck of the woods... miss the welsh roads just over the boarder..
but sorry to say the north east has WAYYYY better roads...

update, some one suggested seeing how the clutch was after the new oil, sadly no better if not worse than before.. been gentle with her after just getting her back on the road since the spill, on the way back home today gave it a bit o a thrashing and checked the clutch while at HIGH revs dip the cl...
