Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Ordered a pair of K-tech fork springs yesterday, should be delivered today. In the meantime I've removed the progressive WP springs and re-set the air gap.
As soon as they arrive they'll be fitted and then set the sag.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Pulled the Fox tc shock on the Vtr. I'd fitted a 1000lb/in spring last year as well as changing the oil in it for the recommended 5w, it felt softer and more wallowy all year. Changed the oil for 7.5w, added 5mm more preload and charged to 300psi with nitrogen. When fitting I realised I'd had the t...

Re: What are you listening to.....right now?

Michael Jackson number ones. It was recorded from Vinyl to metal type 4 cassette tape on a proper high end yamaha deck. Sounds so much better than the cd version I have, not as sharp and tinny as the cd but with much more detail in the upper frequency rang. Very impressive for an old format, reckon ...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Took the zxr for a spin, forgot how well it rides. Power wheelies from 9000rpm up to 4th gear. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160205/f674c678cc3599a8f6e6e09c6058e721.jpg Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk You're on TDR aren't you... knew I'd seen the bike somewhere!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Put all the fairings back on the zxr, flatted a few runs in the clearcoat then cut with g3 and the 3" mop. Fresh petrol on the tank and if it stays dry tomorrow I'll take her for a shakedown ride. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160201/636ba08c788bb85907dbc12be21a31f1.jpg http://uploads.tapa...

Finished spraying colour on the race fairings for the ZXR. 2k scratch resistant clear next, then I can get them on the bike. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160122/2649de524a2f069ec162fa6231c94aa2.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160122/aabbaff05e23a249e956cf2de4c82c95.jpg http://uploads.tapa...

Re: Front wheel alignment

Hi there. I know this goes back some time but I have a similar issue and wondered if you actually resolved the issue? Yes, sorted it. As was suggested, I removed the wheel again and double checked the spacers which were the correct way around. Refitted same as before and torqued up the spindle bolt...

Re: Spark plug popped out

Similar to a helicoil but it's a solid steel barrel rather than a coil of wire. We use them at work and they're easier to fit than a helicoil as well as more reliable.
