Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

fireblade was running a little lumpy, after some tinkering found the problem to be a dodgy spark plug.

How much does this cost? Is this a standard can or aftermarket?

exhaust can is a race scorpion. repacked with Acoustafil, works really well.
this (for example) will do two cans. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACOUSTAFIL-PT ... b9zaTj0r1w" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks Tricky.

He will be along in about 15 mins swearing

Still on the zx6r. Rode it in the mist. I need to get this one covered in ACF50 as well before the salt comes.

Left work early while it was still light. The fog was very thick and my bike doesn't have ILS and the pilot isn't training for flying in fog at night, so better to be safe than sorry.

M6 was shut around Coventry this morning, so I had to go the long way which takes me through a load of road works

^^^^^^
Im so glad I don't have to do the 'commute' every morning. start work about 7.30 so the roads are still quiet when I leave for work and im only about 3 miles from the office.

I can work from home but I lack the self discipline.

I drive 25miles to work each way when I'm in the office - 20 miles of which is Motorway so it only takes me about 25minutes.

Yesterday I was working in Portsmouth - left the house at 0600 and I got to the site at 0840. I did the job and was at the gym before 1400.

Never mind as you say probably better to inconvenience a few.

True, they should have let people drive past it. It's health and safety madness

I thought my alternative view would be of benefit.

Ordered a Rizoma oil filler cap for the zx6r

Fitted my tankpad to the zxc6r this morning in the rain. I'm worried that the clip on my rucksack is marking the tank so decided to do it there and then before weaving my way through the traffic to get to work.

Yet another crash on the M6.

Managed to get a black box swing arm for the 999, comes with all the bits as well !!.
Just need to get some chain adjusters for it.

Nice one Mick, I suspected you might.

Proper wsbk trick look forward to seeing some photos.

It's not gong to happen for a while as the bike won't be see much use now as winter is on the way, the multi will be used only now. I'm going to get the swingarm stripped and re powder coated in gloss black, I can get some adjusters in gloss black to match.

Makes sense and good idea to get the chain Adjusters now imo if there available.

I have wanted chain adjusters for about 6 years now for the sp2 and there like rocking horse sh1t. If there still available I would get them before they become discontinued which I imagine they will soon as bike is similar vintage to my sp2.

Fitted the optimate last night as it nearly never started at work yesterday evening. A bit weird as I'm using it every day. Although last week I was in Londion
