Had a little spin on the bike today, went out very briefly a few weeks back but this time was out a bit longer, felt good and hardly any popping now i've junked the "pair" gubbins. bikes been turning over really slow and pulling battery voltage at the same time (keeps resetting the clock t...

bad news is some mongo that has had the front wheel off at some point had over tightend the pinch bolts on the forks when putting them back so going to get some nice Titanium replacements Be very carefull doing up you front wheel spindle and assosiated bolts, K5's/6's had problems with warping disc...

Cheers. Probably more came in as grey imports than official ones but would guess at only about 200 in total, of the 75 there were 50 Jap spec and 25 aussie spec (bit more powerful). they missed the boat back in 86 and Heron suzuki said they'd take them, hence very few numbers, I have 3 at the moment...

Takes but a few seconds to rise or lower, all hydraulic :biggrin Well spotted, Not got any good pics of that Kat, here's one the same. got 3 at the moment (only 75 came in the country, as official imports) the one behind the ramp is for sale http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp284/arnica2612/harvey...

Use a heat gun on the fork around the seal area. if you just keep tugging on them you risk damaging or pulling the bottom bush through the seal, it'll come apart but then you'll need to have a new bush made, you might get a new part but often the bottom bushes are not available.

I prefer mine

I know what i meant :lol: sorry for confusing post should have been pull the front up or push the forks through. What you should have done was measure the height of the front of the bike before changing the springs, then with the new springs fitted set the front ride height the same by either slidin...

it could cause instability, mild wobles or tank slappers. if you get anything like that even mild that you didn't get before then either pull the forks up until it doesn't do it or get a damper.

I've fitted a few pairs of PR3's to customers bikes and although they say they're good they also say PR2's seem just as good and some are going back to them as they're cheaper.

Got Beowulf Warriors on mine Pictures here, ignore rest of post it's an old for sale post http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25790 Yours is an 04 ?, you'll need to at least block off the pair valves, preferably remove all the gubbins or it'll pop, fart and bang constantly every ti...

This is from the Fuchs Silkoline. website Q. : Hello,I have recently done an oil change on my cbr600fy 2001 and used your comp4 10w/40.I took it to a garage to be dyno'd after having new plugs,filter etc.The mechanic there told me the fully synthetic oil is not suitable for my bike and will cause p...

heard of them but not used them, they advertise on ebay sometimes saying they can rebuild any std shock, a mate got a quote for CB1300 shocks and was £200 so he got a 2nd hand pair instead.

can see where you got the idea of smashing your tv screen now

Hope he gets better and starts looking after his health, we're only here once.

YOUR NOT USING FULLY SYNTHETIC......COMP4 IS SEMI SYNTHETIC

Think what you like mate but feel free to go ahead and contact fuchs silkoline direct if you like, they'll tell you it's semi. I sell the stuff.

You do now cause it's on a temp site no good for K5 1000's though.
