if you haven't got a toolkit they're on E-Blag for about a tenner, and it'll get you the plug spanner that fits as well.

I've looked on there and cant find one, and the bike never came with a tool kit

can anyone tell me if this will fit my rear shock adjuster, there's too many different sizes to choose from
cheers alec

HI Alec, I bought a Caberg to use on the blood bike, it also misted up really easy. my solution was to use a pinlock insert that was for a Shoei, it wasn't a genuine Shoei pinlock but an after market item I managed to haggle it for a tenner (was for charity work and all) Take your visor off and car...

Time for another one, several people want things like CCT's changed; carbs balanced etc, so let's see what the demand is for a Saturday in March. For any new folks, have a read on this thread and see what it's all about, but basically it's a chance to head over to my place in Sevenoaks, Kent, work ...

Does tell me in the instructions now i've read them properly that the cowls wont fit lol

yeah tried it, the rear lug stops it from pushing down far enough, my cowl's cracked anyway so no loss really,

Does the pillion seat cowl still fit?
Often they won't go over thicker padding.

no wont fit with the new grab bar anyway but yeah fits over thicker padding JUST lol

Hi all, just picked up my seat from the upholsterers and it looks fantastic on the bike, he used heavy grain top grade vinyl, new sponges and rubbers, and also put extra sponge for the riders seat part making it more comfortable, so now have comfort and style with speed, also done away with the leat...

The Yam doesn't quite fire in pairs- I don't have the exact firing sequence and degrees of the Yam to hand but it fires either two or three pules in quick succession then the other two or one later, hence a twin-like sound. If it genuinely fired say, cylinders 1 and 3 at the same time, then 180 cra...

or you could try the old one of buffing the inside of the visor with green swarfega - it will not mist up.

Green swarfega, When I were a lad we just used washing up liquid, actually I still do!

Next lid will definitely have a pinlock though.

yeah but try and get one that fits first, the strap should be under the chin lol

Hi Alec, A good point about an insert affecting your second sun visor on the Caberg Trip, also a good idea emailing one of the suppliers before buying one. Having a quick look on Google it appears some think the pin-lock visor insert is not good with your type/make of helmet, in which case the anti-...
