Had another great track day at Bedford Autodrome. Changed the front sprocket to 13 tooth for greater punch out of the corners. Videos being uploaded to YouTube tonight if anyones interested. Still revs into the red-line, fastest top speed 134 on the back straight not bad for 86,000+ miles. Added a few pics from the day.

Quote from: Adam2201 on 10 January 2017, 10:18:32 pmCheers for those links, I've saved them for when the time comes. This is the one I'd been looking at: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400676831619. The chain has stretched past the limit they quote in the manual but still doesn't pull off the sprocket teeth very much at all, so I'm hoping to keep it going a bit longer. Need to keep an eye on the front sprocket wear as well though.Would be a nice job for spring / summer when it's warmer /lighter , and I can take the opportunity to regrease swingarm bearings at the same timeI heard that the front sprocket wears out much quicker than the back as it only about a third the size therefore rotates about 3 times to every one of the rear leading to hooked teeth much quicker than the rear,It was recommended to me that the front sprocket be changed about 12-15K and that helps the chain and rear sprocket last to probably twice as long possibly up to 30 -35K.Make sense? Whatcha fink? Chain and both sprockets £120, front sprocket about 18-20 Quid.Quick modify to my post thinking about it.If the front sprocket wears and hooks much muck quicker than the rear the worn front will damage the chain much quicker ans as the chain is the most expensive part of the drive train I guess it makes sence to change the front sprocket sooner than later.

Can't open that link.Chain wrench is the most effective way of removing an old oil filter, nothing needs to be moved out of the way at all.Smear oil on the rubber seal and you can just nip up the new one, do not overtighten, simply no need.I had an issue with a Hi-Flo filter so not a personal fan, next time just get a K&N and your bike will show it's gratitude.
I have only done the cheap led spot lights mod , Glad I did its much improved ..
that a 400 ??
ready for the new year's day
is it true that the headlight has both high and low beam on each side and is a strait swap into the 600 ?Quote from: unfazed on 26 January 2017, 10:45:45 pmIt indeed it does and are as rare as hens teeth in the secondhand market.

after buying her yesterday i spent this morning removing damaged fairing and modifying the bent fairing bracket to only hold speedothen added dominator headlightsgot to pick up some windicators tommorow and wait for my koso style speedo and some aluminium plate before i perminantly mount a speedo on the trees-have to adjust the clutch so its in a better posistion as previous owner had it activating right against the bars (really annoying)
