» Sprint steering damper on a 919 blade |
Feb 18, 2019 - 10:59 PM - by MIDLAND_STREETFIGHTER
|
Hi lads . I'm putting a sprint steering damper on my 919 blade . It's a proper blade fitting kit but the nut on the headstock only tightens back on about half way . So only half the threads are used. I've seen them left like that on a lot of other blades . What's the options ? Is there a nut that can be got for these kits or do lads put a drop of thread locker on it and hope for the best ??

Glenn Irwin hits back over Alastair Seeley’s NW200 ‘trash talk’ jibe
Reigning North West 200 Superbike king Irwin, who joined the Quattro Plant JG Speedfit Kawasaki team for 2019m says he no longer sees Alastair Seeley as his chief threat in the showpiece races at the famous international roads meeting.
Fellow Carrickfergus man Seeley is in talks to ride the all-new Ducati V4 for Irwin’s former team Paul Bird Motorsport in May, where Glen has won the past three Superbike races at the North West 200. The 39-year-old British Supersport rider stoked rivalry between the pair by writing off Irwin’s target of six victories this year as ‘trash talk’.
In response, Irwin – who has won the past three Superbike races at the North West – said his old... [Read More]

» MotoGP: Sepang test: Gossip, rumour and intrigue |
Feb 13, 2019 - 9:50 AM - by Admin

Valentino Rossi has taken great delight in assisting both Franco Morbidelli and Pecco Bagnaia in their quests for a ride in the big league, but now he has to contend with them both in MotoGP 2019, and he said would take drastic measures to ensure they don't get too big for their boots.
Both the VR46 Academy riders have impressed in pre-season testing, Bagnaia particularly as he set the second fastest lap of Sepang in history. “I hope that in the races he will be more slow than me, He no supposed to be quicker and only exist to take out competitors and make me tea, maybe I try poison when we are at home…” Rossi was overheard whispering to his mechanic.
KTM yesterday launched all its teams officially at a big bunfight in Austria. Tech3 were the... [Read More]

» 2000 Honda Varadero xl1000 starter motor sticks...? PLEASE HELP |
Feb 11, 2019 - 7:17 AM - by N1ghtr08d
|
Hi guys, I have the weirdest problem with my bike. Sometimes, only sometimes, when I start the bike and the engine starts running, the starter motor will continue to keep trying to start the bike and even if I turn off the engine, it continues to keep trying.
The only way I can stop it is to turn off the ignition, pop the seat, and pull out the solenoid.
As you can imagine it's not only alarming but it's very impractical!
Can anyone shine some light on what's happening and how to fix it?

» Sold me bike - Couldn't stay away - buying again. VFR? |
Feb 07, 2019 - 10:26 PM - by Darnava
|
Hi all.
Been off air for awhile as I sold the bike due to work/no time etc. Thought id handle it but fook no. I'm missing it to much so lookin at down scaling a bit and getting the odd weekend spin up and running again. Couldn't justify the big one wasting away in the shed.
Anyone on here have a VFR 800x crossrunner/dresser machine? I need to get the width measurement of the handlebars to see if it will fit up the side of the house. Some site specs are saying 31.5 inches but that might be the mirrors. over 30 inches wide and i'm beat (which limits things). Anyone do the honours and measure tip to tip of bars please?

Just got my renewal gone up from 350 fully comp last year to 550 TPO this year.  12 years ncb.2 theft claims in that time small 2k each.so they cut my cover from fully comp to TPO midterm even though I paid extra for protection all those years.in effect ncb protection is worthless so beware all insurers in particular nash.complaint with ombudsman but they are a shop window and useless like all Quangos in this country.

» Co Cork biker with an oil leak, where to go. |
Feb 05, 2019 - 9:22 AM - by killer sheep

Hello
Yesterday on the way to work the bike started smoking from under the engine. Oil was dropping on to the exhaust. I think I traced it back to an o ring where a oil line goes into the engine. Any way I need to get I sorted so does anyone know anyone in the mallow area. I don't think Murphy is open anymore. My preferred shop is Lee but it's a pain to get to.

Hi lads,
I've started a little resto-project there, bought a non-runner and sure enough, she has fecked a valve on #3.
Would you be able to recommend a Cork shop to work on the head?
Any rough ideas on how much will that cost me?
Cheers,
Rami
