... turned up today with the wrong size boots inside, invoiced to someone else!! So he has my boots and I have his! (facepalm) Anyway a quick email ( after 5pm) and i had a reply within 10 minutes saying they would send the correct boots out tomorrow and pick the wrong ones up on Friday when they ...

New Bendix pads are in.

I've done a quick bleed of the brakes but they're still spongy. I'm starting to suspect it's the after market lever. I've heard of people having similar issues on other bikes. So either I go back to stock or I switch it all over and put the Beringer on.

... of the french on that one yet :D ) but does anyone else have any ideas? It comes out about an inch and tightens again fine, but then just spins after an inch on the way out ;( Bloody garages do piss me off.

I've got costs training at lunchtime (massive massive fun) then after announcing more redundancies yesterday we've got a business update session this afternoon. So it's going to be a glorious day workwise. Also at home we've got a tree surgeon hacking all ...

... minding my own business. As the lights changed this Seat arrived and floored it. Fair play he could shift. There's an 80 degree right hander just after the lights so I had to wait for the corner exit before I could really pin it and leave him behind.

... chatter on daytona600.org when I bought the Daytona. First road bike since I was 23. Followed the crowd to tankslap "the original" but after crashing my bike rather badly at a trackday and going thru' some major life 'bumps' drifted off the site for a few years. The bike is kind of ...

... it cranking till I eventually started. it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the temperature of the bike as I had the same issues going home after work rac man seemed to think it was a fueling problem any common problems it might be?

Is that 1:52 round Snett' Itchy.??

Lol, I should be so lucky!

Had a quick pootle out after work with NJ2288 (you know, the guy I convinced to sign up and who's made one post since!!), had a fantastic time and well, there was this straight road, see...

... impressions the bike is really narrow and while being small there's quite a lot of room on it. It was nice and easy to ride even at low speeds. After i got out of town I was able to let it breath and get some speed up. I was quite surprised there was power low down but not much. After I had ...

You and your dad went for a ride recently. Did you go to any popular biker meets? I'm sure these places are watched. My cb1000r went about a week after I went to the Ponderosa. There were a few non-bikers there walking around the car park. It could just be co-incidence.

It's the normal routine of a talk with a copper and then hear no more after it although I haven't aactually seen any coppers it wad me Dad who went there as I was at work at the time. The bike had R&G engine case sliders and T Rex frame sliders (pointless ...

It's brand new lines and reservoir, so I doubt there's a mix. I've bleed from both calipers and the master cylinder.

I'll sort it. I think it needs a couple of goes after use.

Duke, that's what I'm thinking. Use it and force the air out. StMarks, I have had the same in the past. This bike has an after market lever but it's the same master cylinder. I have got a spare aftermarket m/c but I'm not sure if I want to fit it. I'll see how the brakes are after ...

... they feel. They're stopping the bike but I do like rock solid brakes. It probably has no relevance Kwacky, but just in case.... I brought a set of aftermarket levers for a bike once, and after fitting them I noticed that the bake was spongy. I proceeded to strip down & rebuild the master cylinder ...

Right Now I have finally watched it on ITV4, after hiding from any FB and forum post, WHAT A GREAT RACE.... Back to how things should be... Loved it, now for a bit of moto2 and 3

... night again it starts first thing but if I was to start it in the morning and stop off for petrol on the way to work it struggles to start up once after I've switched the engine off and filled up, it happened yesterday afternoon when I left work at 4pm and decided to fill the tank on the way home, ...

12k on Jap models normally includes valve clearances aslo, it was £348 on the ninja, and that was after shopping around quite alot, Honda dealer qouted me £500 for 12k service

after going camping in the Peak District this weekend, thought it would be rude not to go to Matlock Bath to look at the bikes and eat fish n chips.

Bsb, and julien de Costa has a Fireblade done up in the old urban tiger colours, looks pretty swish, try and find pics after the race

Cheers Kwacky!! Got up after falling asleep before the match started, walked the dog, made GF breakie then turned on telly and realises there was a England replay which was almost at the end of it! If I hadn't taken dog out and made ...
