» Road vs Track tyre pressures |
|
Jun 19, 2013 - 11:31 AM - by The talented Chasey Lain
|
Hi all
Just something I wanted to run past some experienced riders, I put a set of S20s on the ZX10 recently and I've been running them on 33 front and 36 rear based on what I used to put into my Angels previously (a reputable mechanic recommended 32/34 a while back when I had them on the TLR so I stay close to it). These S20s are also my first proper sport tyre so i'm not too sure.
Bridgestone recommends 32/30 cold for track or 36/42 for road so i'm somewhere in between. I'm not very good at "feeling" differences in bike setup etc just wanted experienced fast riders input. They seem great on fast winding roads but I have less confidence in tighter slower bends, maybe it's just me??

» Exclusive: How Kiyonari got his mojo back |
|
Jun 19, 2013 - 9:40 AM - by Admin
|
Ryuichi Kiyonari’s mojo returned at Knockhill. The three-time British Superbike Champion and multiple Suzuka Eight-Hours winner stood on the podium twice in Scotland and says he now feels happier with himself and the bike Samsung Honda put under him than he has been all season.
“To take this double podium is very pleasing but I want better results next time out. For sure I am very happy and now I hope for more better results and will be trying to do my best to go faster in the next race as I want wins,” said Kiyonari, speaking to Bikesport News.
“I try now to improve my performances in... [Read More]

» Marshals wanted for the Masters , Mondello 22/23 June |
|
Jun 19, 2013 - 9:23 AM - by thebleedinsymbol
|
Was a few interested in marshalling the last round so I said I'd give a heads up before the masters 
We are on the small track this weekend so hopefully numbers won't be as tight as the last day , having said that we still need marshals so if anyone is interested , sign on is at the tower at 8 am Saturday and Sunday(If you can make either day it's fine , don't have to commit to two days ). The forecast for the weekend doesn't look great so bring wets , as per usual , don't wear yellow or red as it clashes with the flags . You'll be put out with an experienced marshal who'll show you the ropes , hopefully you'll get a listening radio if numbers allow so you can hear what... [Read More]

» Who could fabricate something like this |

Jun 19, 2013 - 9:02 AM - by cloudhopper

This is me being absolutely clueless again. I admit i'm sitting behind a desk all day and have no idea whom or where to go to have something like this made. And thats before taking into account english isn't my first language and I wouldn't even know the job description of someone who does things like this. Guess you can live in a country for many years and still hit these situations.
Anyway.
I want to have to metal plates made, aluminium preferably i think. Flat, few millimeters thick, and approximately 30cm*25cm (or in the region thereof). few holes drilled into them.
They should go onto my pannier holders (SW Motech TRAX system) and the pannier attachments onto those plates about 5cm further back and 5-6 cm further down. Effectively relocating the... [Read More]

89 slingshot. Snapped de idle adjuster of de carbs a while back. Got it sorted cleaned etc. Put em back in today, ran rough so got a mate down wit gauges to balance it n a compression tester. Got it runnin good wit petrol tap on de on position but when i turn it to de reserve it pisses petrol everywhere. Took out de airbox to get a better look. De airbox side of carbs r sorta egg shaped (rounder than an egg but slightly pointed on top if u know wat i mean). There's 2 holes/jets at de bottom outter part near de lip facing de airbox on all 4 carbs. Thing is de petrol shoots out of these holes as far as de rear seat n pisses out de overflow pipe on de 2nd from right as u look head on to de bike, dats wit de vacum hose attached to de top of 1st carb on left as u look head on.

» EICL R1 Superbike available for Skerries |
|
Jun 18, 2013 - 9:12 PM - by EICLRACING
|
I had recently offered my R1 Superbike to the David Lumsden for Skerries. However he has now decided to sit it out and leave his return to racing until next year.
Therefore I would be willing to offer my R1 Superbike to a 'reputable reliable racer' for skerries (and possibly others), subject to race entry (at this late stage) and valid race license.
My (08 model) R1 was rebuilt in 2010 by John Walsh using an ex-Seeley/JMF Masters winning superbike engine, oversized rad and YEC kit loom and is putting out just under 190bhp, so it is not for the faint hearted. I also have 16.5" wheels in addition to the standard 17".
The bike was used very briefly used by Andy Farrell and Paul Barron, so it has very little miles on it. Regardless, I hope to have it... [Read More]

I'm just looking to find out if it's possible to rent a bike anywhere to sit the test or whats the general cost? Reason being, is i'm currently on a ninja 250r which is 24kw, and the bike for the A2 licence must be 25kw.
Anyone have any opinions or suggestions here as i'm really stuck and the test is coming up!!

» 2014 RC213V could be available to race this year, say HRC |
|
Jun 18, 2013 - 5:30 PM - by Admin
|
Repsol Honda's HRC technical director Takeo Yokoyama has said the prototype 2014 MotoGP RC213V could be raced this season if Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez like it enough.
The all-new, and by the sounds of it very expensive, bike was unveiled today at Motorland Aragon and Yokoyama said it would be finally ready for the end-of-season Valencia test. It rained at Aragon today, so Pedrosa and Marquez didn't get to ride it.
"This is the prototype of 2014 machine. It is a complete new bike, both in term of engine and chassis. Our plan is to test it now in order to be able to do, eventually, some change before the... [Read More]

I was on the way home from work, and found myself stopped at the lights near the top of the Snugborough Road. I was in the bus lane, and there was a Freelander in the other land.
Lights went green, and he gave it all that he could. I thought this was pretty amusing, so I stayed beside him up to about 40km/h before winding the throttle open a bit... only to discover that there was a garda checkpoint about halfway down the road 
The guard stepped into the middle of the road and waved me over to the side. Paused to wave an artic in to the opposite side, and then came over...
"Name?"
I gave my name..

Factory Yamaha's Valentino Rossi yesterday found a solution to the braking problem that has plagued him all season with a change to his fork settings at the Catalunya MotoGP test.
Although it wasn't revealed what the change was, The Doctor raised his eyebrows twice, a known industry signal for 2 turns more preload, was able to put in a run of high 1'42s laps which was half second faster than his race pace on Sunday, but then crashed.

Jun 17, 2013 - 8:49 PM - by Darren169

I bought my current bike with 19,000 miles or something a little under it a few months back and today it hit the 30 grand mark.. it gets regular oil changes and is looked after as well as it could be, i do use it every day but I was wondering now that its hit this is there anything major that should be looked at or in the near future? valves, cam chain etc?
its running perfectly and doesnt miss a beat but its i often read about lads needing that kind of work with a lot less miles on their yokes.

Jun 17, 2013 - 12:21 PM - by Darren169

I was going through some photos in the grand mothers in Cavan at the weekend and as it does be when someone passes away you go through memories etc, well I found a picture of my second bike (it was battery powered but I loved it) it was a little Honda replica it was red and white and had micron pipes coming from inter the seat and on the side, it was probably a replica of an nsr or something but I can't even find pictures on t'internet that look like it. The only picture I found was of the back end of it.
I was wondering though if anyone here would remember any of these kind of bikes being made in the 80's or very early 90's? Or where I could start looking. It was a toy but I'm sure someone would know what I'm talking about?

One of the roof struts in my 3m x 3m pop up Gazebo is bent and needs replacing. It's exactly 1055mm long and is oval'ish in shape (20mm x 8mm). I bought it at the bike show in Belfast a few yrs ago but cant remember the seller's name. Anyone able to help in any way? I'm sure a longer strut could be cut and drilled either, if i cant get the exact dimensions.
