Jaysus, it's deader than Peter andre's musical career in here. Time to inject a bit of fresh discussion. So what are your picks for the 2004 racing season? Mine are: BSB - John Reynolds(Reckon he'll dominate the way Shakey did last year, being fully fit & having that beast of a bike) WSB - Chris...

Got it! Thanks.

Good man!!!!!

As stated by Shane "Shakey" Byrne on the Shakeys tips portion of bikes aloud: Wheelies: "Whack open the throttle, dump the clutch & worry about everything else when it happens...." LOL! Seriously though, that link posted by Welshy should have all you need to help you "ge...

RQ,

Nice one, fair play to you

Jaysus, it's a bit dead in here

Just thought I'd let you all know that tickets are now available for the Mondello park round of the BSB from http://www.mondello.ie

You'd be mad to miss it as it was a great days racing last year...

Hi Welshy,

Thanks for the offer, but I'm across the water in Ireland. I dunno how much the p&p is to here.

Cheers Al

Is there no way of re-calibrating the speedo for the change in gearing though?

Hi all,

I'm thinking of going up a couple of teeth on the back sprocket of my vtr but I'm concerned about the effects this will have on the accuracy of my speedo. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Haven't been on in a while, but here's an update: Got a mate of mine around to check out the bike(he's an aircraft technician) and over the course of a couple of hours he found the source of the problem.... the friggin' rectifier!!!! It was blowing the main fuse & the diode. Quick trip down to t...

Hahaha, go on ya mad bastid!!! I'd be afraid of doing that for fear of getting a piston up throught me bits


"I feel the need....the need for speed!!!!"

RQ, Yup, that sounds exactly like them all right. Shams the lot of 'em!!! Any parts I ordered off them were either never ordered or turned out to be incorrect(as in they ordered the wrong bits). They also only half filled my forks back up after doing the fork seals on my last bike(they also dented o...

They're just an octane booster. A couple of my mates tried 'em and said they felt an increase in power but I reckon it was more a placebo effect than anything...

RQ,

I'd stay away from superbikes direct too in the future if I were you, I had nothing but trouble when dealing with them when I was on my CBR.

Howdy:)

Do ay of you fine upstanding folks happen to know the part number of the three pin diode out of the firestorms fusebox?

Is it a 'storm specific part or can it be found in other bikes?
