... last year and it's the same no I wrote down today so I'm not going mad KA040 137030 I'm not taking any risks so will get it serviced anyhow,I'm sure JHP will know what's been the problem I'm pissed off my bikes going to be off the road I have enjoyed my last few rides ;(

That's a blessed crash if there ever was one Itchy! If you had a faired bike you would've snapped mounts at a minimum for sure! Glad you are relatively OK and you know the reasons why. It took me a fair while to not do exactly what you did. It's a mind bend when you get out of sorts ...

... can necessarily get my knee down but so I can cope with the horrible scraping sound without shitting my pants and learn my limits and stuff. - Not sure what it is about Tankslap Peak District rideouts instigating projects, but it's spurred on my desire to fully upgrade the Zed. I have many ideas ...

... abit to hard haha. Need to make a numberplate bracket in morning Do S & R Motors in Hull still do motorcycle MOT's at half price.? Not sure mate I always take might Drs or spares as i know the people that work there. Went to Drs today. Made my bracket out of a metal ruler sprayed it ...

... wet and there was virtually nobody on track. I'm booked in now. (party) Now I need to get hold of the guys who store the track bike and make sure it's ready in time.

If it were a professional place in the UK that had done it to me, I'd be on it for sure.

Fwiw I keep an old front tyre specifically for resting on when changing tyres etc...

Cheers Monty, I'll look into those, never heard of them before so not sure if they are available here. I have to get tyres first thing as big chunks are coming off and splits appearing between the tread blocks, so not much choice but to go with the Yokohamas ...

... wait. (Oh and they're about 1second/lap slower) Cav im old and fat I dont chase lap times :D Haha.. well it's a cheaper alternative anyway - I'm sure you'll like it just as much and it probably wouldn't hinder you at all

You'll never find a swingarm in one piece that's for sure Kwacky! Have you ever flicked it with your nail and heard how delicate it is?

The engine is something that's concerning me, if mine ever goes I would have to get an 07/08 engine as that's all you'll ever find!!

... I'm over the moon to be honest as I've been pretty stressed out since the new year for various reasons and it finally seems to have subsided. I'm sure I'll update you guys when I start the new job anyway :)

Good luck with the future career Cav. You have given the decision alot of thought so I'm sure it will be the right one.

I'm pretty sure it was a bit of dealer bull crap was not over impressed with the dealer took them 20 minutes to come over and see me while they discussed what days they were working. He also shirked the question on how much my ...

I'm sure you're right, and suspect most tyres don't really need much running in these days. I just tend to give any new tyres at least 50 miles regardless of how they feel, just to be safe. More for my own head than anything ...

Andy you can get cheap boroscope type cameras that plug into your lap top via USB point. Not sure of the quality but maybe some help for an internal inspection. Great idea thanks just ordered one. Also check the header pipes. Any valve/piston interaction generally leads ...

... to cause any further damage right? I haven't looked at the cam chain yet as if I pull the bottom cover I'm going to need a new gasket and I'm not sure if I'd see any problems just by pulling the bottom cover? I've taken the airbox off and pulled the plugs. The top of the throttle bodies looked ...

Not sure what you mean by a soft link and that's something I wouldn't like to answer to be honest, it's completely personal preference whether you try it or not. If not, call AR Racing and they'll likely have a link for the ...
