» Cheap compression tester - any good ? |
|
Sep 24, 2022 - 7:05 PM - by -alan-
|
I bought a used unbranded one off adverts to test a ropey cage engine a while back - proved the thing was banjaxed, but have always wondered if you can trust the results.
All of the other stuff I've tested has generally come up about 20 psi less than what the specs say to expect.
Was wondering, are the cheap testers like this any use, or do you really have to fork out for something decent ?

Sep 24, 2022 - 12:40 PM - by Japcati

A nice trip up north this morning,to visit Ian @ IMR Racing and Automation.
Gave him the Sigma slipper clutch,and he machined and modified it perfectly.
The R1 race bike and Sigma slipper was then dropped off with Steve and Lee in NDM.
A grand wee trip indeed.

» Pan European ST1300 - Fork springs |
|
Sep 15, 2022 - 7:08 AM - by manbearpig

Hi Lads,
Just replacing the seals and oil on a pan European.
I've the forks open and from what I can see the tapered end of the spring is facing down towards the wheel axel.
The manual says tapered end facing up but they've no images so I just double checking. Anyone know if it's up or down?

Flicking around youtube last night and Ghost Rider popped up as a recommendation

I presume he is retired or in jail....

1st ever "4 time" BSB SuperSport 600 Champion.
A Dublin man,whos flying the Irish Flag high,and wiping the floor with some of the best British,European and Worldwide racers.
He was tied on 3 championships,with the late Karl Harris (RIP Karl).
But yesterday,he became the GOAT of the Supersport 600 Championship,by winning a historic 4th title.
Congrats to Jack.

Hello lads,anyone any idea of whats involved in clearing an old h2750 triple,1975? It was brought here from england in October 2019 by a well known bike courier.He never gave me the ferry ticket at the time,said he would post it on but never did.Anyway ringing the vrt/customs for advice was never recommended so I said I'd ask here.It should have been exempt from vrt at the time but not sure now.

» Looking at a bike across the water (GB) - how is the VAT calculated ? |
|
Aug 29, 2022 - 9:48 PM - by -alan-
|
I know the VRT payable when you import a used bike is based on the OMSP figure - but is the 23% VAT levied on the OMSP or on the price paid in country as shown on the receipt ?
The latter would be handy.. not sure if (a) that's the case or (b) if so - what kind of proof they look for .
Anybody been through it post Brexit and know for sure ?

» Single scrambers - Fantic |

Aug 29, 2022 - 11:18 AM - by Dub Duke

As age creeps up on us, we adjust our biking needs and habits.
I'm looking to get a single scrambler for a more fun, comfortable ride, and to be able to do some light off-roading.
Anyone else gone down this route? I want to get one if these:
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-se...ation=at_bikes
Thoughts?
Also - I'm looking to sell my NSR 250 (MC21). Restored by Chopper, but hasn't been used in 18 months. Any interest?

» DoneDeal Rip-Off |
|
Aug 23, 2022 - 10:01 AM - by Big H
|
Just noticed that DoneDeal pricing has gone through the roof.
Motorbike Extras section has gone from €3 to €6.99 and to put a bike up for sale has gone up to €8.99 FFS
That's just for their bare bones basic packages.
They're pulling the piss altogether with that pricing and will just drive more people to Adverts.ie and all the lonely-hearts/headbangers that frequent that place.

Hi All,
not been posting in a while. In the heel of the hunt while contracting in the UK, IR35 and Covid came along and ensured I was enjoying some sofa time back in Wexford for a while. To cut a long story short, the only place I could find work that would not entail a 5 hour trip to Dublin and back on the loser cruiser or sharing some grotty house with some young wans, I was forced to take a job in Switzerland.
No hardship you may say, but believe me, it's not all wind and roses here. The locals can be remote to say the least, unless you do something wrong like use the wrong bin bag or cycle where you shouldn't, then they are not backwards about coming forwards.
So, this month I decided to brush off the bike and take a bit of a tour... [Read More]

» Why? |
|
Aug 22, 2022 - 2:06 PM - by evok

why don't manufacturers include mainstands with new bikes anymore?
why put a sweatband around the brake reservoir?...but only on sportbikes
why do we get away without front numberplates here?...I know the old fashioned type were a safety issue but many other countries have front numberplates albeit transfers
why dont bikes have to display insurance disc similar to cages?
why did it take manufacturers so long to come up with the 90deg tyre valve?
feel free to add!

After 6 years of ownership, thinking of changing my very reliable (but slightly boring,if im honest) cb 1300 for one of the above. Had a spin on the motard 1100 and it blew me away. Handling, braking and acceleration were amazing. Windblast and comfort, maybe not so.
Looking at bikes with around the 30k km mark. Anyone any experience of air cooled 2v 1000/1100 over the long term. I think belts are every 2 years regardless of mileage. Robbie in Mototechnic is a great mechanic but not so good at answering his phone!
Any other things to look out for, apart from the obvious with an older Duc...

» Exhaust headers |

Aug 21, 2022 - 8:20 PM - by podge

Small crack in my exhaust headers. Bike doesn't sound the same.
A decent amount of air passing thru.
Should I repair or replace. Bike is a triumph Street triple 675.
From reading up online, I think they are made from stainless steel.
Hope the pic shows the crack.
Any suggestions?

Anyway maybe someone will enjoy the pictures.
I have been working towards getting my kinda bucket list, in various stages of build, all Suzuki, gs1000, gsx1100 ef, gsxr750 slingshot, gsxr750 lucky strike jobby. Enjoy yerselves lads and lassies.
