» New clutch |
|
Oct 05, 2022 - 11:26 AM - by Kilko
|
|
Iam a bit lost and confused. The clutch on my 2016 Yamaha mt07 was slipping and the lever would not return out fully. I was clutching at straws and replaced the cable and it's not catching anywhere but it made no difference. I got an ebc brakes friction plate kit and the spring kit. All the friction plates appears the same in this kit. I took out the old kit and the inner and outer plates are different as in the manual. I fitted the new plates after soaking overnight and the lever is still the same. Has anyone come across this problem before. Help appreciated

» Vintage Bike - Numbers not matching on logbook ? |
|
Oct 05, 2022 - 8:08 AM - by -alan-
|
Lads,
Been on the hunt for a particular bike for a while. Found a reasonable one, but the engine on it seems to have been replaced, and the engine number is different than what's on the log-book.
I know it's not ideal, and a bargaining point - but was wondering whether it has potential to cause problems down the line with the thing ?
Any insight or experience much appreciated.

» Yamaha crank bearing sizes |
|
Oct 04, 2022 - 10:53 AM - by seano
|
Firstly is it possible to grind a Yamaha crank/resurrect one, it's a 2cr Mt10, engine is the same as the R1 but its got a different crank. or is it a case you just have to buy another one because of coatings etc. The fact theres no oversize bearings from yamaha that I can find is probably all the answer I need. I've attached some pictures, the scoring isn't deep but it would still need some element of grinding. All of the big ends have some element of scoring bar one, main journals are all perfect.
Yamaha just give colour codes for the bearings and no sizes so I don't even know what tolerances I have to play with so cant really go into a machine shop and ask. I don't fancy paying over 200 euro for a full set to find the sizes, to then find out the crank is useless, surely... [Read More]

» Cheap road bike suitable for track days? |
|
Oct 03, 2022 - 10:27 AM - by manbearpig
|
Hi Men,
Wanted to start a thread about reasonably priced bikes that would be suitable for both track and road.
Been juggling the idea of getting a track bike - but ive no van/trailer etc and it just starts to get messy with the idea of going full on track bike.
Anyone recommendations of a decent track bike - I would have a 600/750 in mind.
Ive done 1 track day in Mondello (Srad 750) and a trackday in Anglesea (Duke 1098) and really had a ball.

» Leopardstown Bike Show is back! |
|
Sep 26, 2022 - 8:15 PM - by DUBLINCHRIS
|
The annual IVVMCC Leopardstown show is back again on the 8th October, having last been held in 2019.
The format is a bit different this year with a greater emphasis on bikes on display. There will still be some auto jumble but reduced from previous years.
We will show bikes from the last century with a cut off point of 31/12/1999.
There will be a racing bike section including the two Laylaw Yamahas that took first and second places in the Light Weight Manx.

» 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 ?

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?

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 ?

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:

Thoughts?
Also - I'm looking to sell my NSR 250 (MC21). Restored by Chopper, but hasn't been used in 18 months. Any interest?
