There are some clever scam sites which lure you in with headline cheap prices , then go to checkout , mega postage ! Don't ask you don't get though!

As the thou was running quite rough on the last trip . i have taken thge plugs out for a look at them, Only one looks to be a nice colour. would a sticky exup do this?
I checked the carb balance recently so pretty sure thats ok. I'll get some new plugs in the interim as its due for some.

I've just had a geek this morning , the cables are free and adgustment is fine , only a little tightness in the exup spindle. I'll clean it up regrease and try out . I'm glad of the pictures because it was not obvious where the spacer washer came from

Just started to use my thou again . I don't have any exup tach error code but its making quite a racket, I can even feel the clacking through the footrests.
Any ideas guys.

In my humble opinion 600's don't suffer from wallowing to the same extent as the thou. certainly not at low mileage .

Ive got an old navigo 3.5 with tt europe software and e generic handlebar clamp. used if for years now , not waterproof but you pays yer money etc .invaluable. I find it hard to switch back to normal , watching signpost mode though , navigate one way or the other don't try to do both at once.

First timeout "since the weird noise" on the thou today .In the interim I've checked for anything obvious . Now thinking the noise is the exup valve, no error code though! must be noisier though as my partner can hear from the pillion.

There was no noises for the first 20 miles or so, maybe broken chain links though

« on: 19 January 2014, 07:25:37 pm »
No I did a viual check of obvious culprits!

Just took my thou out for the first time this year. No exup hick ups despite the 4 month lay up. but I noticed a stange clonking sound at low speed ,Seems around the chain front sprocket area , got me home alright but not investigated yet. anybody had this issue with a thou, The noise did not relate to wheel speed so I don't think its a bearing.

They are riveted onto the collector box easy job to remove

I have a set of standard black front pipes from my 98 600, These need a good clean and paint. they are sound and no holes £50+ postage approx £10 Or local collection Redruth area of Cornwall

I've fit a thou one to my 600 recently , main reason was that I wanted the 600 to feel similar in the braking department. I got stung by UK import duty when I imported one from the states "via e bay" at first I did not think it worth the a approx £100 , Now the pads have bedded into the disk, there is a huge improvment , I use a back brake a lot ,and now find much easier to feather the rear brake.Don't think i'd bother though if i didn't have the thou to compare it with, Payes yer money etc!

I had some volcanic heat battery gloves , absolutely useless, lasted 40 mins if lucky. the polar 12v jackets are really good , best if you put a kidney belt over them , presses the heating elaments nearer to thge body

Heated Jackets. I notice that the cheep heated jackets which my partner and myself wear are again on e bay £48 but still a ,best bike related gadget /gear I have ever bought. Their called polar something or other

At a glance the Thunderace and Thou for that matter, torque arms looks like they are made from Aluminium , I thought as much before I got one, prettier than the 600 standard article though!
Also some people refer to aluminium as alloy !
I hope this cleers the mud

Most of us have double standards re mileage, I'm happy to own one at 38000 but I would not buy one
Also check the fairing infills line up properly, can be a sign of of a crashed bike
72
« on: 19 November 2013, 05:44:17 pm »
Just bought one , of Motorbreath ta
The Thunderace ones look better than the 600 ones , but they are not much lighter being made of some sort of alloyed steel .
so don't get one to save weight. I am quite happy with the improved apearence of the swing arm I finished it of with stainless steel allen screws, I got some extra m8 ones for my thou, "which has been badly neglected this season

I have a 02 600 and a 05 1000 ,The 600 has better wind protection,and in my humble opinion a better all rounder.
1000 is great 2 up, totally flattens hills.

1000 shock is a good mod , I find it so good i don't see the point of going down the R6 shock route
Another cheepo mod i've done is put a switch on one of the dip headlights saving 50 watts of fuel or leaving more for heated grips etc

If you have done the "making both lights work on dip mod" then I don't think you will gain much improvement with the box eye headlamps, you could end up melting the lens assembly by going more amps route. I tried better bulbs in my car but there was not much improvement, I suppose HID lamps are an option ,but iv'e no experience of them , expensive to !
