Re: Uprated battery?

Loose/intermittent connection on charging circuit? If you put the old battery on a mains charger does it charge up ok? A battery can just die all by itself sometimes, plates warp a bit and when they finally touch it's usually terminal. (no pun intended) :thumbup: (alright, it was. :oops: ) If it wa...

Re: indicator spacer

Personally i want some yamaha indicators, they're quite genious, (hope i spelt that right), they are rubber stemmed and have a plastic clip that holds them in place! Try sourcing them but if you want mini stuff which IMO ruins the look of a bike then i guess they wont be to your liking.

Re: wrecked me clutch :/

The water pump is in the clutch casing so you have to drop the coolant you see. I reccomend you get a decent scr...

Re: lets be carefull out there

Was it an SRAD cos when i read this
he lost control of his Suzuki motorbike and crashed into a tree on Sunday morning.
I had a flash back to my crash that nearly took me.
I'm so sorry for your loss, it's never easy to lose someone or something you love.

Re: looking for a 400 sports bike with a low ride height

I had an FZR 400, cheap to buy and insure, You can restrict them but theres seriously no point. You'll upset alot of people on one aswell, i used to piss off litre bikes on mine.
It was very loud and very short.
