Told you I was a newbie to this bike......haven`t got under the tank yet

Nice photos especially for a newbie like me. :clap: Have a look at this ebay item, quick release race line connector. I fitted one to the GS as I had the same problem of not being able to shut off the fuel. Works a treat and available in different bore sizes. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270605206213?r...

This is really just a follow up from my introductory posts made when I first visited the site. I would just like to say what a great site I have found this to be in my short time as a member. I visit a few sites from time to time (well, I have to really with the range of toys I am lucky enough to ha...

Actually, it would kill the secondhand bike market stone dead.

Looks like my toybox would be worthless then.......the Storm is the newest bike I own.......

Darkemeber, you are absolutely right. Ain`t I the stupid one (my best mate had 2 SP1`s so should have remembered )

Can I throw another quick question into the mix? Is there the same CCT problem with the SP1/SP2 engines or have Honda remedied the situation? If they have, are the CCT`s not interchangeable? (ok, 2 questions)

Where did it go.....? No I deer.....

Petition signed and should be up for M5 Strensham on the 25th

Edit... 7.9.11 OLD CCT'S HAVE GONE TO A NEW HOME ALREADY... :angel: Thanks Opel. :thumbup: I need to be doing the CCT mod to the bike, thats a given, but have not decided to do the stopper mod or fit manual adjusters.

I`ve seen moto gymkhana before but this guy raises the bar......I couldn`t spot one cone out of place.

Better hope he hasn`t got a brother over here working for our constabulary.....

Firstly, forgive me as I`m sure that this has been covered on the forum somewhere before. As a new VTR owner, can someone give me a quick explanation of what the problem is with the original Honda CCT`s? I note that the general concensus of opinion is to go with the replacement manual CCT`s. I have ...

I was down the bus station with the VTR on Monday for a coffee and a chat. Hopefully catch up with you one day now I know what bike to look out for.

I must say I love them all for one thing or another. The FZR and GSXR are probably 2 of the finest handling bikes I have ever ridden (and from early experience I would add the VTR into this category). The ZX10 and CBR1000 are both mile munchers that you can just ride without having to work at. The G...
