Hey got a lid in the visor shop and its just not fitting 100%
Is there anyone (who know what they are doing) in the south that can fit them?
If not i'll take a spin back up, just trying to save some time
Have this bike four years now and have 65,000kms on the clock. The bike has been flawless and given hours and hours of touring enjoyment. I live outside the city so it has also become my commuter travel of choice.
REcently, a whole pile of issues have arrisen and I dont know whether they are related. First, the engine has started to idle badly and while there still seems to be plenty of power, it's delivery is very rough and backfires on decellaration.
On top of that now, the ABS/Servo in intermittently failing and producing some scary moments for me on the road.
I had plans for the weekend that have gone up in smoke because of the obvious concerns with the safety of the bike!1

Pretty much as the title says - I've booked to do track-day in Mondello this Saturday 13th.
Road-day, so pace shouldn't be too hectic, but my worry is I'm on Pilot Road 2's (dual compound).
Anybody done track-day on these tyres, or have any insight?
I'm on 04 ZX10R, not the quickest in the world by any means - I'll probably be middle of the bunch in the 'inters'.
Is there any members here that are associated with Daingean MSC.
I have being biking a good few years now but never joined or was associated with any clubs. Never really looked into it.
Last night I was just thinking about it and Daingean is only down the road from me so if there is a benefit of joining a club like them I might apply for membership.
Anyone with other clubs and are they worth getting involved with?
I've forgot to give someone some papers, need to send it to him preferably today. I know it's a long shop but does anyone interested in helping me with it?
I need to get a new rear tyre today somewere in town as its nearly threadbare and i hadnt the money.

anyone fitted twin lights to a k6 bandit, both bulbs h4 12v 50/55w, worked for 3 days, about 20-30mile, then stopped.
Tail light works, side lights work, indis work etc, but no head lights, also flash doesnt operate, when pressed.!! have checked bulbs and they are dead on, cant seem to find a relay for the headlights.
there seems to be power going(11v) to the 3 pin plug at the back of headlight, but when connected the power drops to zero.
Any ideas, maybe a short at the switch or something??
Couldnt find anything on this before...I want to know where I can find someone that will fit new tyres for me that Im going to buy online.
Few places ive called into said they wont fit tyres that arent bought from them but they are charging 100e more than internet prices so thats not an option.
how now everyone, went out to the garage this evening and fired up the gsxr 1000. next thing oil all over the place. have been working on the bike since december so it hasnt seen any road and just started it 1st time since december over the weekend. had it running up to over 100 degrees last night. started it again this morning no problem until this evening when it seems the oil filter is not sealing. its a spurious hi flo filtro filter or something like that. this is actually the second time this has happened to me with this brand of filter, happened on a 99 r1 3 years ago and also a friend with a fireblade. simular story as gsxr. the filter was tightened and not loose before anyone has anything smart to say...

Had a pain in me nuts with pushing pistons back into calipers last time i did the brake pads. Only have 2 hands like.
So went and picked up a few bits n pieces in B&Q earlier to make this basic wee thing to make pushing the pistons back that much easier when putting new brake pads in her.
Some akuma visor technology, anyone know anymore about this anything like it on the market yet?? got caught out driving sunday night with black visor again sunday night and caused me to go researching this...
I am thinking about buying a ducati 848. I have a 1098s that i find very snatchy to drive in town. Do you find the same problem with the 848, or are they a nicer road bike, as I hear they are. Do not want to buy one if I end up with the same problems.
Thank you for any help!

My trumpet triple is a little cantancerous when it heats up. Idles nice enough when first started but when its taken out for a good spin idling becomes erratic and more inclined to cut out. Is this symptomatic of the valve clearances being too tight? They were done only last month. Will this improve with mileage or is it a case of having them redone/ checked.
Hi! I know that this has been a topic for lots of posts in the past. But most of them are now a couple of years old.
All the advice regarding leather vs. textile, rainsuits, boots, gloves, etc., is all good, but when you go into one of the shops the number of different brands is amazing!! Add to that the on line stores and it can really get confusing!
Especially when apparently similar items have such different prices!!
So my question is - what BRAND of clothing would you recommend for all weather touring?

The manufacturers were allowed to select from a choice of track tyres to suit their machines, and set suspension up to suit track riding. Each bike was subject
