not especially, although if your profile is set incorrectly then any variances in speeds will be noticed more on a higher SNR as it reduces the amount of flexibility in what the line can achieve as the exchange is being told to keep the broadband signal at 12dB above the system noise, although it will help to a certain extent in trying to stabilise it if the system noise is excessive.


Is the phone line crackling or noisy at all, or even humming?

if it's running at a 12db profile downstream (SNR goes in 3's) that is kind of high, standard is 6dB, or 9dB for longer lines. worst i've ever seen is 27dB.


Whats more important is the error rate. If you're seeing a high, increasing numbers of CRC or HEC (could be named errored seconds) then it looks as though you have a problem.


a high number of any errors in the upstream is considered bad news truth be told. could usually indicate a high resistance termination somewhere, which would need an openreach visit.

I get the unfortunate experience of faulting broadband for openreach.


It sounds like it could be what's called a 'hot vp' which, as described by a previous poster is where the virtual port you are connected to is reaching it's maximum capacity. more common in rural exchange areas. keep at them to get an engineer out.


The PO aren't entirely wrong in what they're saying though, as you can get electrical interference from cheaper transformers and stuff that are gradually breaking down. It can be anything and is usually identified by a regular pattern, for example, every time the heating comes on/outside light comes on/etc. my broadband goes off. again really hard to diagnose correctly as it could be anywhere in the local area. (we're not really meant to explain this stuff outside of work but hey ho!)


really difficult to diagnose broadband connection issues remotely as it really could be anything between you and the exchange. my 2p worth if it helps.

My dad has just replied saying yes please.


He gets back from holiday at the back end of this week and lives in Lincoln, so not a million miles away.


If you could pm me your contact details I can pass these on.


Sorry to hear about your mis fortune, but the engine will certainly go to good use with the school he teaches at.

Just asked my dad if he'd be interested, he teaches bike mechanics to kids with behavioural/learning difficulties and this could be perfect.


I've just text him so will confirm ASAP.

Evening all,


I'm starting to look at replacing the downpipes on the 600 and wondered if anyone had a set knocking around before I plumped for a brand new set?

60
Could I take first dibs on one falling through?

I looked into it and yes it can be done is the short answer,

But the longer answer is yes it can be done with getting and moving of things, off the top of my head coolant header tank needs moving, part of the adjustment ring needs grinding away to stop it fouling and the spring needs changing out for a stiffer spring.

There is info about doing it around the forum, and on the older yuku boards too.

I'd love to but i've got a wedding on that weekend =[

How did you get the filling spacers to stay out? I bought some recently but couldn't get them to stay on the front fairing.

They didn't move a muscle when I had them setup, I just hung them over. Some people set it up so that one strap goes under the seat which makes it a little more secure, but is just left it at three straps over the top of the seat.


I can leave the straps as I had them set, but it's well worth taking a bit of time to adjust it when theyre full, make a brew and come back to see if they're set as you want them.


Hope that helps!

After getting a hard set of luggage, i'm sticking my black oxford panniers are up for sale.


I found them a great fit for my 600, with minimal sag (even fully loaded) and great for pillion comfort (gave the mrs plenty of room on footpegs etc.) giving approx. 60l of carrying capacity (when fully expanded). two of us managed a 2000 mile trip without the need to expand them (we just didn't buy anyone gifts!!!)


Pretty good condition, no burns, scorch marks, rips, tears etc. All zips work, both the waterproof covers & theres some bungees i'll pop in (to help get a good fit), and some non-slip matting to protect paintwork.


I'll get some pictures up asap, but in the mean time (just imagine them in black):


http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/58131


Ebay shows them going for around the £40 - 50 mark plus postage (at £10ish).


for you foccers, how would £45 delivered sound?

Pm sent!

Would very much like 1st dibs on this, where abouts are you located?

« on: 28 May 2014, 06:59:28 pm »
Would anyone know the size of the clippy bits that go on the nose cone to screw the black infill panels too? Or have one lying around?


Bought some off eBay but they're too big. Mine got lost when the fairing was being sprayed!
