I got an 03 with 33k on everything on it is pretty much in decent nicked apart from a seized exup with one bolt snapped just wondered how much it would fetch in parts seens as the market is pretty fecked at the moment any idea's ?
I got an 08 r1 an its a great tool i commute the fazer thou i use the r1 for rideouts an the bike meets ace an so on the mrs prefers it to the fazer something about being able to see more than my shoulders swings it for her ..lol although i find it uncomfy after more than a hour without a break as im 6'4 an have a few old wounds , like someone said loads of em about at the moment you can pick up a decent 09 big bang for 6k . Grandma is that you christine longtime no see xx .
Im cool fella on closer inspection it seems the bung actually left the mount in place so not as urgent as i first suspected thanks just need to get myself another pair of bungs that bolt the same as mine an the jobs a good un cheers fella.
After yesterdays ride came home to find i had lost a crashbung an the enginemounting bolt ( on of the longer one) anyone have a bolt laying around an maybe a set of crashbungs.
Set mine to one off the top hard setting an whacked the damping up full although to be honest the shock has probably had its day after 32 thousands miles but feels alot better than it did with the mrs on the back so itll do for now .
Bikes like a boat two up i know im probably gonna need to swap out the rear shock but before i do anyone got any tips on adjusting the spring tried yesterday with the tool in the pouch but the thing wouldn't budge .
Still up in the cranes mike been on a few high profile jobs in the past couple of years done a fair stint over on the olympic's aswell as the shard an heron tower .
Opened up the clutch assembly an the offending plug had popped out of the shaft , some loctite an a little bashing with the rubber mallet see it wedged back in place nicely Cheers mike for the extra reading material came in handy .
Got you took the bike out of the bay on return an left it running for fifteen while i give it the once over , looked over the scooter aswell pretty much covered in plastic from top to bottom so doubt it is off one of them oh well would hate to think i damaged someones wheels although parking in the bays up west is a nightmare i have had to replace mirrors an suffered cosmetic damage to my own bike parking in them .
Basically the bay was very tight this morning managed to get the bike between two scooters caught my boot a few time whilst getting off the bike when i took my boot of in work this popped out , had a good look aroung the bike an the two scooters for the life of me cant see where it came from bike road fine for my 12 mile commute home no leaks of any kind baffled for sure its about the size of the top section of a little finger .
Cheers guy i do have an after market cable on the bike been running it for about fifteen hundred miles does the job but i aint happy with it , i did get a false neutral the other day dropping from 6th to 5th an read a similar thread to the one you posted mike where the a guy on the same site got the false neutral going from 5th to 6th an turned out to be the cap . So the plan it get on the phone to fowlers for gasket an have nose in the clutch side if that is the problem i will sort a new cable too an keep it if not i'll out it as is or break it an give breamcatcher a call .
deffo not too tight mate bike is running fine aswell done about 40 miles threw all the gear an rev range just the slipping into neutral thats the problem you can do it just not as quick an smooth as usual .
Problem started lastnight sure the return spring up the ghost.as had the same syptoms on another thou many moons ago but this time im opting out the repair myself ordered both springs an gaskets this morning. I have a halfords pro socket set an various other tools in the garage from what i see looks pretty straight forward but any pointers on how long it should take an little trick would be appreicated.
