Engine Temperature Sensor

Hi all...just run the bike up in the garage. Once before a while ago I run the bike stationary to see if the fan would come on and it did. Today I let the bike warm up to the third line on the temp dial and the fan had not yet come on. Shut the bike down. At what point should the fan come on then ? ...

Re: ZXR 750 H1 1989

Great video, and the empty roads...my mate had one years ago and he was a bit of a wheely merchant but sold the bike coz the front end was either too heavy or possibility all the balance was to the front for handling.

Re: Battery drain solved ??

AH, good detective work. Front sidelight bulb was an LED, I assume? Just checked the bulb, no it's not an led, but a normal round bulb. That's the front pilot light I'm on about. Reading the later posts I can also confirm that when I had the original faults I did notice that the clock lights did il...

Re: Fitting straight bars - options?

if i used 2 up 1 back would i need to cut the fairing? I think so. All depends really on the shape of the bars. I have seen one which came as a kit with relatively shallow bars, and I don't think the fairing needed cutting. I think Jazzscot has a setup like this. Message him and ask. Look at his ph...

Re: Fitting straight bars - options?

Hi...if you have a look at my post - link is below and see that I have used the same type of risers as in the above posts. Mines were 3" up and 2" back. Have Renthal superbike bars on.
