» NW200 Dunlop Tyres |
|
May 16, 2022 - 8:08 AM - by strontium_dog
|
What the hell happened the Dunlop tyres up at the NW? That was really dangerous and nearly all the top men didn't race in the superbike race. I'd say they were all really pissed off.
I saw the back tyre on one of the bikes in the flesh. There was big lumps gone out of it. Very bad with the TT coming up.

» Front wheel not true where disc mounts |
|
May 11, 2022 - 10:30 AM - by jeo77974
|
So iv got this horrible annoying groan coming from my front brake disc beacuse its waving on the front wheel.
I've replaced the disc i thought was warped, but it now seems the disc doesnt mount on the wheel correctly and is waving even with a new disc.
Its a ktm superduke and iv heard numerous bikes have it.
I've seen vidoes of lads filing the hub part down saying there is excess plastic on one part where the disc goes.
not really sure where to go from here but its annoying as hell.
Anyone know a place that could help me get it straight?
Cheers.

Richie (Ghost) was on here for a few years until he lost his battle last week..
He was a quiet lad, passionate about 2 strokes till the end.
A few of us had the pleasure of meeting him.
Sadly because of his illness his strength deteriorated, but that didnt stop him from buying an MT 07 just a few weeks back....
I'll miss the laughs we had in the short time i knew him..
R.I.P Richie.
For Brenda.

» Insurance and bikes over night location |
|
May 06, 2022 - 8:10 PM - by carrigGSR

I currently have the bike insured at my auld fellas address as it’s in a garage which was a requirement of the insurance due to value a few years ago when I bought it and I have always stored my bikes there and I usually only use bike for the few spins and weekends away in the last few years but I have changed jobs and I am hoping to use the bike a lot more again but the insurance are telling me this means I am not insured to keep it at mine or within a km of my address (or something stupid) at any time apparently or any other place that is not part of a spin if that makes sense
I have asked to insure at mine so it’s covered to be outside which I have no problem paying the extra for the cover and it may only be out a few nights a year realistically and in the garage the rest of... [Read More]

» KTM SD 990 Speedo: Erratic readings |
|
May 04, 2022 - 10:26 AM - by strontium_dog
|
Hi,
just wondered if anyone has encountered this before. I changed the brake pads on my Superduke and now the digital speedo is swinging by about 10-15 mph when riding at a constant speed..
I have to admit I did put the cable under a bit of tension when I was removing the caliper to change the pads but nothing major (I would have thought). Nothing appeared to be amiss when I had a quick look but I must have done something. Just checking to see if anyone has hit this before. It's an 06 model.
Cheers

Hi, i was wondering if anyone here witnessed power failure on bikes recently. i have 3 bikes , 1 trials and 2 road bikes and ive noticed that the pump fuel is very inferior to what we used to get because of the ethanol mix. i recently got a full jerry can in a local filling station , and there is hardly any smell from it , maybe a tint of varnish ? and there is zero vapour from it when its poured ,or when the can is opened there is no gas build up. i poured some on the ground and lit it and it burns similar to diesel. the road bikes are running like shit and are clearly down 10/15 hp each . now we are paying extortionate prices for fuel thats clearly sub standard muck.
where do yee guys get your fuel and is it possible to get 98 octane anywhere.im based in the midlands.

Found a very low KM in Italy for sale by a colleague. It's 2007, 16k km in super clean nick, so I snapped it up.
Had it for a very quick spin just to make sure it was all straight and true. They are super stable. Gave it a bit of a tug on the bars and a wiggle of my ass and nothing. Looking forwards to putting some more distance on it.

» Breakdown Help in outside Dungarvan |
|
Apr 14, 2022 - 9:36 AM - by Unfazed
|
Yesterday when out on a friends BMW GSA I was pulled over by a guard on the Waterford side of Dungarvan near Pitlane Motorcycles.  Then moving away after our 'discussion' and for the first time in years I stalled a bike and no way would it restart. Remember this is a 260kg bike and I was on a slight incline about 100 metes from the top of the hill. Couldn't cross the road with the traffic to go back down the hill and it would have been to dangerous. I proceeded to try and push it to the top and maybe I could push start it down the other side, highly unlikely, but it was worth trying. This lad was passing on a bike and pulled to see if he could help. We both tried pushing it, and had to... [Read More]

Anyone got a good (Irish) source for automotive electrical supplies, preferably some place I could visit?
Have an ignition relay on the Raider with a rotten connector block, some of the terminals have turned to dust, which (I suspect) is why the bike won't start for me.
Yamaha, in their infinite fucking wisdom, decided the best place to put this relay (along with an unsealed block connector) was down between the battery box and the rear mudguard. If you were looking for a spot to leave something absolutely caked with water and shite from the road, this particular spot is only slightly (and I mean a gee hair) better than between the mudguard and the...

With so many people so quick to complain here's a change.
A big thanks to Dean Reilly of Reilly Recovery 0873869231 for his prompt and professional service today.
The lad collected my ,(recently crashed), bike from where it's been lying in state for a bit and delivered it home not just to my door but, as I'm currently wheelchair bound, pushed it round the back and into the shed.
All for a very competitive price too!
Top man.
