... 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 ...

Not trawled through this thread, especially after falling off the wagon when the race dreams disintegrated... but do any of you fitness freaks get on the fresh juice band wagon as well? We were given a cold press juicer for xmas and have only just ...

They're the usual Hel quality. The could be a little on the long side, but not by much. That said I've been unable in the past to fit an after market master cylinder as the lines weren't long enough. Besides, I would prefer to have them slightly long as it puts less stress on them when the ...

Ha ha, it's obvious is it not, it's a red top paper after all.. Just with pics of motor bikes not tits.

Saturday Im going to an Airshow, really looking forward to it, used to go every year as a kid, not been for about 10 years as they stopped it for quite a while

Sunday probably go see my dad depending on how tired I am after the footie

... tonight which was good, allowed me to go heavier and squeeze out 2 sets of 100kg on bench press. I thought my strength would have dropped off after doing all the higher rep stuff up until a few weeks ago. Turns out it's not too bad.

... (sun) Not much to report on the bike front yet, but Pitty will set about his regular bike check-up this weekend. The lad is back at the gym now, after the excesses of TT, and building up to the event...he freely admits he didn't enjoy the track last year, so he's got a score to settle with it ...
