Aug 22, 2021 - 9:06 PM - by woodsman

I’ve been looking at purchasing another horse and have popped into some dealers for a nosy.
Gold wheels ............ are they susceptible to tarnishing. Looked at a couple of Africa Twins and the gold wheels were in a bad way for 3 years old and small miles.
I’ve wheels on 25 year old bike here in better nick.
Suzuki do the gold on the v strom also but the thought of having them look shite after 2 or 3 years makes me wonder should I avoid them ??

Twice over the last few weeks i've been "making progress" minding my own business whan i catch up on another bike...on both occasions the riders felt like they had to prove something to me...on both occasions they ended up on the wrong side of the road on fast bends....luckly there was nothing within danger , but are quite busy roads.....they eventually let me pass and i went on my merry way....
Save the ego's for the coffee shop lads......

Holy fcuk!
Anyone else at it?
They have me doing things on the ZRX that I didn't think I was capable of.
Been there for the past two days and have one more course tomorrow. The "knee down" course, or Machine Control 3 as it's labelled.
Luckily, that one requires the use of their bikes (brand new Triumph Street Triples) so, if I screw up, I'm still riding a pristine bike home!
I'd do the first two course again in a heart beat. So much to take in and the track is a tight twisty peach. Sixteen proper turns in about a kilometre of pristine, grippy asphalt.

» Fairing repair recommendations |
|
Aug 15, 2021 - 4:05 PM - by mpp
|
Afternoon all , my 2007 rsv went down on its side at approximately 30 mph. Beforehand it was immaculate. I'm looking for recommendations of a good motorbike crash repair shop. It needs plastic welding on a very long crack on the rear cowl a small bit of filler and painting. The side fairing will need sanding and painting, that's if it's economical to get it done.I'm in Waterford but would travel a bit for the right place. I did a search on here but there's not much recent information.
Thanks in advance.

The young fella is showing an interest in getting a dirt bike for the field. I haven't a clue about what make or model bike I should be looking for, he's 11 so I suppose something between 50 - 100cc. Are pit bikes worth considering or are they all cheap chinese shite?

» Aprilia SXV 450 engine reseal |
|
Aug 08, 2021 - 10:49 PM - by scorpy
|
So....(big sigh).... the SXV 450 has decided that it doesn't like the apartheid attitude of most engines and has decided to mix oil and water. Again.
Albeit five years after it last did it. So there's that.
Having spoken to Gary at Mototuning, who did the original reseal, who raced SXVs in the past and who was very helpful, I've decided for a number of reasons to do the reseal and other inspections myself. Gary is too busy and booked out for months and I could do with the experience/ challenge.
The bike is a 2006 original spec, derestricted 450 with about 4200km. It was derestricted on the factory procedure at 600km and oil and filters meticulously respected since. It had the dreaded emulsion problem they all get at about 1500km where the... [Read More]

» Older bikes - DIY ethanol free fuel |
|
Aug 05, 2021 - 8:59 AM - by -alan-
|
Reading up a bit on this recently, and it looks like it's going to become ever harder to avoid higher ethanol concentration fuels. The advice from various sources is that older small engines like petrol lawn-mowers / chainsaws etc will suffer most because they are usually old designs, still using brass floats in carbs with soldered joints, and rubber O-rings, fuel lines.etc. Exactly the same as my old CB450 - and most other older carbed bikes I imagine.
The jury's out from the manufacturers - most saying E5 (5% ethanol) is ok, but once they go to E10 and E15, it'll turn nasty. if you can get the hold of AvGas, then you're sorted - but that not always that easy.
If you're prepared to put a bit of work in, turns out you can strip the ethanol out. Came across... [Read More]

Had a new 2021 V4 base model ordered, but delivery was taking too long, so got this unregistered 2020 Factory model from CC's. Picked her up today.
Pissed rain for the last hour of ride home. Couldn't see shit with dark visor.
Only thought going through my mind was....don't drop my new bike on first day of ownership. A sileage outfit nearly wiped me out on a bend coming into Borisokane....way over on my side of road on a bend...cunt!!!
Will take a bit if time to get used to the different riding position, but initial impressions are very good. So easy to flick into corners. Lovely deep sound from engine, even with stock can. Very comfortable. Plenty of poke.
I need to adjust the clutch as the bite point is way too far out for my liking.

» Bike jeans - the high tech type |

Aug 04, 2021 - 4:16 PM - by -alan-

Been looking at some of the reviews for bike jeans - the kevlar type. The newer ones are made out of a material that is a mix of cotton and high tech kevlar/aramid fibres seemingly, as opposed to the older ones which are basically cotton denim fabric with separate kevlar-mesh lining on the @rse and knees.
Anybody tried the new ones - or know of any bricks and mortar retailers selling them by any chance ?

» Thieving Scum - attempted theft |
|
Aug 02, 2021 - 10:28 PM - by manbearpig

Hi Lads,
Couple of thieving scummers tried to lift my KTM 990. Broke the steering lock and the ignition barrel. One of the neighbors shouted at them and they ran off and jumped into a car.
Bike has some damage - obviously the barrel is smashed meaning the immobiliser won't deactivate for me but they also damaged the paint on the tank.
Insurance assessor is to come out during the week to have a look.
Issues are
1) Where can I get this fixed in the Kildare/Dublin region?
2) Anyone ever get work done successfully on something similar?
3) Any advice or pitfalls yous can think of?
Guards responded and took a report. Same night about an hour later a lad was killed off a stolen motorbike.... [Read More]

» 2005 Yamaha DT125X - no spark, Has anyone got a manual? |

Aug 01, 2021 - 6:49 PM - by crispy

Lads, the sons DT stopped on Friday. Had a look and its got no spark. I've tried the obvious of disconnecting the side stand switch and clutch lever switch and using a paper clip so it's not that. Motor is spinning over fine on the button, just no spark. Would anyone have a manual for the later model DT's with power valves n liquid cooling etc?
TIA,
Chris
