Re: Ear Plugs

I use the green Howard Leight max lite, not too expensive if you have room on the shelf for a box of them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400-SOFT-FOAM-EAR-PLUGS-200-PAIRS-OF-HOWARD-LEIGHT-MAX-LITE-SNR-35dB-EARPLUGS-/182023948176?epid=1405060113&hash=item2a61790790:g:ibsAAOSwQYZWwNEt" onclick=&q...

Re: Stonesie's MT-10 thread

I kinda miss the Mutly, I called it a big daft Labrador, big, playful, quite fast and cornered quite well with a decent bark to it. On to today, I had an after work tinker session and fitted the AIS blockoffs and LV exhaust but it was getting on before I finished so it hasn't been started yet. I too...

Re: Stonesie's MT-10 thread

Don't get me wrong, it was an awesome bike when it wasn't playing up, sport mode with the rear preload wound up was amazing.

Sadly the bike had been custom mapped to the Leo so it had to stay on there.

Re: Cavetrolls MT09 thread

Is the standard exhaust not a 1 piece design on those? You might have to get busy with the angle grinder.

Re: Stonesie's MT-10 thread

Its really good, doesnt seem to affect the handling at all and the rack comes off with just 4 bolts and lock nuts.. The little tank bag is a permanent feature though, no storage space at all under the seat on this bike.

Re: Cavetrolls MT09 thread

Fantastic bike once you sort the suspension, the improved composure of the STR is why my money went that way but I did enjoy the grunt of the 09, how many power wheelies have you had so far (blush)

It sounds like you have a good To-Do list so far, Welcome to the Naked side, :D

One of the things that helped me the most when I was a new rider was a bike safe day with the local police so that's my suggestion.

Re: 2017 Versys 650 Grand Tourer - ongoing review

Im running roadtec 01's on the MT-10 and love them, better than the standard Bridgestone S20 and lasting way longer, 2k miles and barely any visible wear with all that power chewing the rear.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Checked the oil, she's about 1/8" over minimum at over 1K since I last topped it up to just under max, so to say it get's some high rev action it's not bad really, Aprox 100cc per thousand miles. Didn't top up as it's service time tomorrow, 12 month service with throttle balance and Motul 300V ...
