hiya peeps. Any one know the best gauge of lockwire to use on grips?

Thanks

Give it a once over and noticed I can pull the chain a little away from the rear sprocket... hmm I was wondering what that slaping clunking sound was..!!!

That'll be cheap :) The Evotech levers are good but have a look at Lightech - I've got these on the kwak and they're excellent value and quality http://www.reactiveparts.com/lightech-yamaha-yzf-r1-04-14-brake--clutch-lever-kit-2948-p.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Ask ...

Cheers yes I see what you mean. The thing with the EBC am not overly keen on the gold centres... but I guess its the brake what matters at the end of the day :) Will give some more thought on it. Im guessing Levers and Lines and Pads should already give noticeble effect. I have a list below of all s...

Hey up chaps... Just having an overhaul... not really required as despite 60k miles on original stuff all seems tight still. But anyway decided to splash. I have bought some HEL Lines and Evotech Levers. And just looking at brak discs. Am kind of ruling out disc sets for 120 quid because it just doe...

Yeah I wasn't too confident on the last session as tyres felt a bit weird. Never experienced it before. Had to back off a bit. Tyres running are pilot road 3.. Yes shoulder seems bobbly with chunks of rubber.

Hey up guys.. Went to Brands on Tuesday eve... Ended up surprising myself big time in the sense that a) still not ever got me knee down... But b) have managed to grind off my hero blobs on the right peg? Anyone know if that's a dangerous place to be riding? In other words.. Should my knee be the ind...

Thanks mate

That's interesting cheers will enquire!

What I did today... Cleaned the bike.... Took the bike off the paddock stand... Leant the bike over on its own stand.... Then CRASH............ Dam slab disintegrated and a small void below the broken part of the slab..... stand went right through and bike ended up on its side... Just marvellous.. o...

Thanks guys very helpful replies.. have checked a couple out just! now more tempted than ever!.

Hiya chaps.. Anyone into trail riding off roading? Just wondering if there are 'free public off road bike routes' that you can just rock up and ride. No club member or fees. I am guessing these will be shared with pedestrians/horse riders and cyclists... Are these very few here in the UK? Any ideas ...

The Tiger does look like a good piece of kit and an excellent all rounder. How about using that as a commuter and then giving the R1 a full refresh? Cant beat the R1 as a commuter in London.. I pretty much fly down between cars filtering with bar ends sometimes an inch off the vehicles and having t...

I would P/X the R1 for the Tiger and then buy a new R1 , simples (giggle) No can do.. Other half would know I had two new bikes that way.. At least if I get a new bike first then secretly get another black R1 she wouldn't have a clue.. But to part ex it for a new bike she would know I should still ...

Can't beat a contour roam2.. Bang for buck and solid. Especially as contour gone tits up you can get these now for about 100 to 130 if you shop around instead of the 170 quid rrp I want a cam with a screen on. One of the reasons I wouldnt buy a lot of cams. With wifi, you can use your phone as the ...

Hey peeps.. Having racked up fifty odd thousand in 3 years on the R1.. And still solid and looks mint.. My mate convinced the missus that's extremely high mileage for that bike... And is unsafe he he.. She kind of agreed then that I should consider getting a new bike.. BUT also convinced her to stil...

Not too fussed about other bikes. Only my own. Everyday is a dream ride..just to and from work each day makes everyday life that bit more bearable.... Although the Alps and the Ring are my second playground

Haha hello yes familiar names all good thanks.. The R1 is still mint despite nearing 52k miles in 3 years. And yes licence now back thanks..tut tut.. Funny you remembered that . that will teach me never to overtake a sole black Audi on empty mway at night at over 135.. Plonka..
