Re: Spongy brake question
Ahh right yeah that does make sense. I guess the fluid getting warm forces it through the smaller gap. It used to have a K5 master cylinder on it, but took it to a guy for a major service this year and he changed it for a proper K4 one, second hand I think. I noticed the brake lever / master cylinde...

Spongy brake question
Had some strange A View from the brakes at Silverstone today and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction. Basically at the start of every session before the brakes got hot they felt very spongy and a lever would pull back to the bar just about. Going into the first corner they felt aw...

Re: 2 1/2 day at Cadwell 24th and 25th August
Wish I'd have seen this post sooner now :-( My brother and I would probably have done this. We were only at Cadwell the other week, it's a cracking track. Unfortunately we've got Donington booked on Tuesday and Silverstone the following Wednesday. Fitting this in would be too much. If this is going ...

Re: Chinese brake discs
Don't believe the 'myths' that all Chinese stuff is bad. Lots of people will tell you it's all rubbish without ever having tried anything. I spent hours reading about them and found one particular brand had good reviews all round. I bought a pair for my GSXR track bike and run them on my wet wheels....

Re: OP storm SW Scotland Mk5, Aug 4th to 7th 2017
Another great weekend in Scotland :D Thanks again to Al for organising and leading the way all weekend. I still think it's the best trip of the year and well worth the mileage and effort to get there and back. We managed to stay dry pretty much the whole weekend too with only a couple of very light ...

Re: OP storm SW Scotland Mk5, Aug 4th to 7th 2017
Well that's me...in from London at 7, 2 hours earlier than expected thanks to a cracking contractor and good handover. Haven't touched the bike for months so oil done, tyres inflated, belly pan removed & refixed securely, top box rack fitted and even a little wipe down before packing. Oh and usb...

Re: OP storm SW Scotland Mk5, Aug 4th to 7th 2017
Ugh yeah it's not the wife and kids it's work. I'm up and down to London all the time. Just don't get time for anything else. I'm pretty certain I'm coming. I love the Scotland trip. I'm just not sure how I'm going to get the bike and camping gear sorted in time. Half tempted to just book a b&b ...

Re: OP storm SW Scotland Mk5, Aug 4th to 7th 2017
I'm teetering.... Was at Cadwell yesterday and London today back Thursday night. Haven't had time to pack or service bike. Going to be tight to get there for 12. I've been looking forward to this all year. Really don't want to miss it. Stressing about getting it all ready. What's the plan for Saturd...

Re: OP storm SW Scotland Mk5, Aug 4th to 7th 2017
I've not been around that much recently, been so busy with work and what not. Only got round to my first track day of the year last week...sad times :-( Anyway I'm still up for this, it's the 1 trip of the year I wouldn't miss, so is it still on? Who's still coming? Who's dropped out? Are we likely ...

Just had the following from Steve:
Hey Chris. Could you do me a favour? I haven't been able to log into the vtr1000 forum for ages. I've tried resetting password etc but no joy. Would you mind telling an admin on there? My user is Steve6088
Can anyone help him please?
