Re: Suggestions? Help?
Well done to Deegee for the right answer. The discs were straight when I used the bike which is why I didn't suspect them. However I am very shocked that someone managed to bend a disc during a tyre change. They are properly bent. He's been pushing ...

... and take out the pistons this time and rebuild them, then if thats not the problem i guess it must be the discs. Silly thing is the discs were fine before the winter. I'm really, really fed up of brake fluid now |(

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Update.... Ok have totally re-done the front and rear suspensions settings, making them firmer (a tad harder over standard) as they were at their softest settings. Doh. Now feels a completely different bike. Hardly any clunking. Still the movement in the fork yet night and day difference. ...

... you actually use that vehicle or keep it in the garage....that's a matter of legislation, it has nothing at all to do with cyclists. If you were to ban cyclists from the roads would the govt. do away with road tax?? No, they wouldn't.

... fuel tank wiring issue, which turned into a mission as I cut the loom in half and as I started making up the plug realised 3 out of 4 of the wires were black (facepalm) so spent a couple of hours with a multi meter and wiring diagram trying to prove which wire was which. I gave it a run so I must ...

... a breakdown in an abattoir at Wratting in Cambs/Suffolk border, blokes in blood-soaked whites playing footy during their break while pigs were screaming and squealing in the background. Bizarro in the extreme. Fwiw, I threw my overalls and clothes away afterwards due to the pong. Disgusting. ...

Kawasaki and lubrication, or lack of it!
... sure this front tyre and the brake pads are the originals from 6 years ago, so probably the first time they've been taken off and the treads were bone dry. As was the front wheel axle and nuts. And while I'm at it, 6mm allen head on a 10mm bolt, why would you do that unless you wanted them ...

Re: Two wheels good....
I agree they're entitled to space on the road but be sensible... on a 60mph hedge lined road 3 abreast is plainly and simply stupidity of the highest order! Oh, and this bit of road is on an incline so they were doing maybe 20mph?!

Took the long way home. Couldn't believe that my hands were cold. Summer gloves should be worn this time of year.
Good ride home though, the SX handles surpisingly well for a big girl.

Don't get me wrong we weren't hanging around and Rocket wasn't pulling away as we were riding smoothly together in a pair. I just thought it was a good example of how litre ...

I always thought if your MOT had ran out you were allowed to ride it to the MOT centre only if you had a prebooked appointment and you rode straight there.
