Stopped to buy petrol from Achmed in texaco and tried out some compressed air in the back tyre.
be a nice build up to other routes such as the ring of kerry and the R132 next year

Hi Lads,
Anyone have a bike or bikes that they still pine over? My was a Honda blackbird. Carb version - dyno jet kit, twin scorpion exhausts . . . Was a "gift" to myself for passing the full test.
Came to it after a bandit 650 so it felt like a rocket in comparison. Had it pinned once coming from Mullingar to Kinnegad and the helmet was being pulled off me head.
Sometimes look at Donedeal and search for it but is say she's deffo retired by now.

Well, apparently not......
"Irish Motorbike & Scooter Show is feeling sad  at The Rds Dublin.
The Carole Nash Irish Motorbike and Scooter Show comes to a close.
It’s with considerable sadness that we must inform you that we’ve decided to wrap up the Carole Nash Irish Motorbike and Scooter Show, RDS. As such we won’t be running the event, in 2023 or at any time in the future."

Want to get the youngster a bike.
I think a motox bike is not going to work to start him.
I think a clutch will be too much for him .
Was thinking of those Chinese bike. Local dealer carries the VMX pit bikes which are the same as Stomp according to him.
Are they junk? Any advise?

» 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.
