» Knocking noise up around the headstock
May 22, 2013 - 10:48 PM - by gsxrk7
My k7 gsxr has developed a bad knocking noise which seems to be coming from around the headstock but with all the usual testing methods the steering bearings/ headstock bearings seem fine, ie. no notch when the bars are moved side to side with front wheel off the ground. It's particularly bad under braking but sometimes knocks in the opposite direction under hard acceleration.. I had it with a suspension guy tonight and he couldn't figure it out either. I badly need it sorted as i'm off to the TT next Tuesday. Any suggestions or solutions???

Thanks

Can't believe the day is finally here. Heading off to finish loading up the truck and head to Belfast. Getting the cattle ship tomorrow morning at 10am all going well.

After months of preparation and stress. Only got the start permission and international licence yesterday after 4 months of waiting. Helmets only arrived into Dublin yesterday and we have to pick them up today. Nothing like cutting it fine.

All we need now is the weather.

» Back to a Bike...
May 21, 2013 - 7:13 PM - by benomac32
Hey everyone...
I've decidied I want a bike again after a long lay off, due to a serious enough injury, back in '08. Thing is that I see that the licence rules have all changed?
Anyway, I was just hoping to get some info here about a few things...

So when I got my full cage licence in 09 I never got my A provisonal licence back for the bike. I went into the licence office today and asked do I still have it and I was told yes. I didnt have time to get a photo and get back in time before it closed so I never got the learner permit back.

I was wondering where I stand and where do I go from there, once I get my learner permit back? I am 24 and had 4 bikes... 2x NSR125, Ninja 250R and a restricted GSXR 600 through the years and have am a fairly... [Read More]

» Stolen in Kerry-1934 BSA Blue Star 500
May 21, 2013 - 6:41 PM - by Bored of bored of force-v4
Any help greatly appreciated-this was stolen from my mates grandfather last night in Cromane area of mid Kerry, a very distinctive 1934 BSA Blue Star 500 in black with a chrome tank, REG: IN 3090. The toe rags who stole it obviously knew what they were looking for as they took nothing else and went directly to where it was stored. I'm guessing it will be a hard bike to get rid of as there cant be more than a handful in the country. I'm hoping one of the classic enthusiasts might keep an eye open for it being offered for sale. The old chap who had it is understandably upset and will try and reward anyone who can help! You can get me on zero87 zero520484 or PM me in confidence.

We're trying to get a few pics of it and we have all the paperwork and chassis numbers also.
