It's not often that you hear of problems with the actuating mechanism at the clutch end, Steve. Have you released the cable at both ends and checked that you don't have a broken strand in the cable snagging things up? If the cable is 100% free-running, logic says it has to be the actuating mechanism but I'd double check everything else first.  Mike

That's good news, at least. Look forward to seeing the photos next. Mike

I wish all you chaps good luck with ya order's
In the light of all the evidence, I won't be ordering. When a company is too incompetent even to maintain a constant line of BS to their clients, it doesn't give me any faith in their ability to manage the proverbial in a brewery. If anyone here still wants to take the risk of ordering through Zero Limits, I'll remain engaged to ensure the forum discount that's been negotiated but it will be entirely at your own risk. Sorry it's worked out this way, chaps. Mike PS. Good luck to Dave and the others waiting for parts or refunds.

OOPS! I`ll try to keep out of your way!
Ray.
Thanks, Ray ... have a fun trip. Mike

I can't dispute that Zero Limits' supply chain is a bit flakey. However, if they come through in the end and the quality is acceptable, it's up to folks here to decide if the budget price is worth the wait. A TL1000S group buy in the USA also suffered from delays in the production process but the guys eventually got the parts and were more than pleased with them. Thanks for the update, Nick.

It won't make any discernible difference. Most aftermarket can makers have their standard size can design and resolve any size difference between original headers and can with their link pipe diameter. Some have very skinny link pipes, others are much wider ... all work OK.

I've never paid to enter the circuit so can't really offer much on that score but knowing the Spanish, I doubt it's expensive to get in for national-level racing. The N-332 is fun all the way down to Aguilas and beyond. I tend to avoid it in summer because of the tourorists in rental cars but I'll be heading south this weekend, weather-permitting.  Mike

Re: ivans « Sent to: devilsyam on: 22 October 2011, 04:04:24 PM » Hi Luke  I believe they're described as multi-taper and that in fact there are 5 different angles ground into them. Not all are easily visible to the eye, though, so perhaps you're looking at one of Ivan's needles and not quite seeing the subtle differences in a couple of places. Hope all's well with you and yours.  Mike There you go!

"clutch interlock connector have to be persuaded to fit"
nope not on any the ones ive done just plug in
I thought I'd read that one was a 2-pin plug and the other a 3-pin?

Doesn't the clutch interlock connector have to be persuaded to fit?
Also, IIRC, don't the levers from the ZX6 of the same years work, too?

I expect the first question will be, how did his helmet come off?? Looks like Rossi's front wheel impacted his helmet and forced off over his forehead. It was a massive hit. Got to wonder if Marco's famous hair wasn't a factory, though.

A quick question for the edjumacated masses on here. I'm on the look out for a second hand end can for my fazer and was wondering if any of the R1 one's I've seen for sale will fit?
If you mean original R1 cans, yes ... the earlier model R1 titanium can with integral link pipe will fit with a bit of persuasion. Aftermarket cans aren't quite so easy to quantify because it depends on the link pipe length/shape. The outlet from the EXUP on the Fazer and the early R1s is the same which helps, of course.

Obviously it would you and us if you could be a bit more precise with where the noise appears to be originating. Front/rear etc? Try squeezing the front brake lever gently at a standstill while pushing forward on the bars. If you hear a click, it's pads moving in the calipers. If you squeeze really hard, the noise should go away.

Thanks Falcon but Karlo has beat you to it and forwarded the one you sent to him previously. I am defiantly interested and will keep an eye open for the next time you are doing a batch. Thanks, Karlo. Spud, if you'd still care to e-mail me I can put you on the waiting list and I'll contact you direct the next time I'm planning a UK visit. Mike

Hi, We're north of you in the vicinity of San Miguel de Salinas. About 30 mins from Cartagena circuito going the direct route. Not raced or track-dayed there but make a point of checking out the BSB pre-season tests every year. The circuit's own website has a calendar of race meetings and also the many trackday sessions organised by UK companies. The coast roads down and beyond Mazarron are on our regular winter riding routes. Bit too chilly sometimes up in the mountains over the cooler months. Mike

Spud and Grey Fox, shoot me a PM with your e-mail addresses and I'll send you all the info you need to decide between the Full Monty or basic Slip-On kit.
Both use Ivan's jet kits. The former requires the MB kit, the latter the original Slip-On kit.

Hi Mick
Rad parts, no problem. However, Zero Limits don't offer a complete fairing. Devilsyam confused the issue by posting photos of stuff produced by another company. Sorry.

Thanks, Nick. I've had a look around t'interweb for other reports on Zero Limits and their products. Found a group buy thing for the TL1000S forum guys which was delayed by a fire in the overseas production unit. All stuff delivered in the end, though, and the reports and photos on quality were very good. Looks to me like Zero Limits contract out orders to the Far East so there's always the potential for delays at the factory (ZL have no direct control over the production line) and shipping snags. For the price and the reported quality, I'm willing to go ahead and be patient if necessary.

Zero Limits have offered an additional discount on the radiator covers. Normal retail price is £59.99 but they will do them for £49.99 as part of the group buy.
Delivery will be 5 - 6 weeks from placement of the order and receipt of deposits, so if you're interested please e-mail me soon. A few of those who've already signed up are hoping for a pre-Xmas delivery so the order will need to go in fairly promptly.

Just want to check something.....these carbon infill panels are going to be stronger then the standard ones aren't they? i myself actually dislike the carbon look and am only interested because im sick of the standard ones cracking. 
I'm assuming that they'll be stronger and more vibe-resistant, Phil, but can't say for sure. However, since they're being offered at virtually the same price as a pair of Yamaha plastic fantastics, I think they're worth trying. I put small rubber washers between the panel and the mounting point to isolate from vibes and reduce the likelihood of over-tightening.

The following is the full text of the e-mail I got back from Zero Limits this evening: Hi Mike
Yes, the present orders have been a nightmare!! Parcel Farce have lost 4 boxes of our parts , nearly £3000 worth of parts and although we will get the money back via insurance its the loss of customers parts that is the issue. We have been lucky as most people have understood the issue and are happy to wait. The replacements have been pushed to the front of the queue so hopefully the orders will be completed next week. We supply not only the public but trade as well , both cars and bikes in the region of 1000 parts per month so to re allocate resources has been a task.
I fully understand the need to check quality of the goods before you commit, I would do the same in your position. Deposit would be 25% on the order and the remainder once we are ready to deliver. I am sure we can work this out to the forums benefit. We like to work with forums as you tend to be passionate about your machines and the technical knowledge you have is priceless. If there are other parts your forum would like to suggests we would be interested in producing these to.Any problems please just give us a shout. Based on this - and subject to confirmation of quality by those who have orders awaiting delivery - I'm inclined to press ahead with this idea. So, if you're genuinely interested please drop me an e-mail (mikegreatorexAThotmail.com) with your requirements and I'll put your name on the provisional order list. Mike
