Help needed. Just bought a rieju rs3 50 nkd for my lad. Got it cheap cos it needs a few bits doing. Its a 2014 model with under 3k on the clock. Most of the bits are easily sorted out except one. I need a new rear brake disc, it is fitted with galfer waveys as standard and rieju want £155 for a disc .
Anyone got any idea of a generic disc or supplier of that  could be used instead?
I know its 220mm diameter but not sure of bolt hole centres etc as I haven't removed it yet.
I'm not fussed if its just a plain disc, don't need owt fancy, any ideas anyone?
Thanks for reading, Neil.

Rack arrived today, fitted in 5 minutes.
Thanks a lot, it was a pleasure mate.

Little help please, went out yesterday for an hour, bike going lovely after surgery on exup.
Stopped off and popped into b and poo for twenty minutes, came out, got on bike and fokked off. Called at mates house, no one in, got back on bike switched on and pressed starter, nothing.
Checked killswitch, fine, tried again, nowt.
Took helmet off removed seat and stared hopefully at assorted gubbins, checked battery connections etc, nothing wrong there.
Put key in and switched on, no sound, no fuel pump, no exup, silence. Everything else fine, lights, horn, warning lights etc.
Put bike back together, rang wife to come and get me, while waiting put key in, bike fired up straight away.
Got home parked, changed put key in, dead!
9 o'clock last night wondered into garage key in, push button, fired up.
Battery fully charged, showing 13 volts, it is permanently connected to an optimate.  Is it possible that it could still be the battery, it's getting on a bit . Tried again this morning, still dead.
Any help much appreciated folks.
Neil.

Since last autumn I have been getting the exup error code, in october I started to strip the exup to sort it out. The first bolt twisted off like it was made of chewing gum, so I did the obvious and put the cover back on with the intention of looking at it later. Today was later.
I really don't know what I was worried about, the whole job took about two and a half hours, including a break for eating my sunday dinner.
I just twisted off the remaining two bolt heads, centre punched them and drilled them out. Re tapped the holes with an M6 tap and used stainless bolts with lots of copaslip.
The valve itself was stuck solid and would not turn at all, left it to soak in my own recipe of freeing oil while I drilled and tapped the holes, half an hour later and it was free.
Lots of copaslip on reassembly and the job was done.
Broke one drill bit so not bad, the bolts were very soft.
So a job I had not been looking forward to turned out to be pretty straightforward,  worst thing was laying on the garage floor for the best part of two hours.
Thanks to everyone who has ever put a post on here about servicing the exup, I reckon I've read them all over the last couple of days.
Cheers, Neil.

It's fixed! Battery was reading 11.8 volts and not even the solenoid was clicking in and out, 4 hours on charge and now reading 12.6 volts. Pushed the button, bike sparked up straight away.
Another thing that I have discovered is that the key has to go the right way round into the ignition barrel or engine will turn over but not start , it's a replacement key and the chip is over to one side.
Anyway thanks for the pointers, thats another foccer mobile again.

Got a bit of a strange one, Y reg thou, spent most of last 3 months tucked up in the garage. Wheeled it out today to access some of the other junk we store in the garage, thought "may as well fire up the bike while it's out". Key in ignition, fuel pump, exup etc whirry noises, push starter button and .............nowt!
First things I checked, kill switch in on position, check.
It does have an immobiliser fitted should I suspect this or am I just being a div and overlooking summats obvious?
Any suggestions greatly received chaps, thanks, Neil.

So.. I'm not like minded as paul, no way, and I've personally met my like minded people on here including ex police officers and instructors, who would share my view. So yep, were like minded but not your like minded

Hello mum, when did you sign up 

That looks like a great trip. I am planning on visiting the bomb crater near Picardy in August. We have a free afternoon that day to. What would you recommend in the area?

would you be referring to the lochnagar crater ? If you are it is well worth a visit, as is the canadian sector on vimy ridge. Also in the same area is Thiepval memorial, that is stunning.
Hope these give you some ideas, cheers, Neil

Dunno if I've mentioned this before but the finest penetrating fluid known to man is a 50/50 mix of ATF and thinners or white spirit.
Just thought I would mention it.

Hi chaps, quick question for you. I don't really expect to get an answer to this but it's worth trying
I have just bought a 1990 Honda MT-5 for my daughter when she turns 16 in February. What I am after is some information or advice about wheels/tyres. Does anyone happen to know if there is a road type tyre available in the fitments for this bike or are there any other wheels that are a swap so that road tyres can be used?
I have done a swift google search but not turned anything obvious up.
Tyre sizes are front: 2.70x19  rear: 3.00x16
Thanks in advance guys, Neil

Hi guys.
 Has anyone had any experience of these 'cnc machined short brake and clutch levers'?
I have looked at other peoples and spoken to owners of machines fitted with these and most people seem pretty happy with them. I also asked where folks got them from and some were bought from UK suppliers and some from China, Hong Kong etc, but in the flesh they are all identical. Anyway I went ahead and ordered a set from China. Very happy with the quality, and the brake lever was a straight swap, however the clutch lever is another story. It went on ok but the cable was not running in a straight line, it was necessary to shim the pivot point by about 12mm and machine some alloy off the lever to make everything line up. The only real problem now is that the microswitch that prevents starting the engine without pulling in the clutch is not in use, you can start the engine with the clutch out and in gear.
Not too bothered as they were under £20 inc postage, I have looked at pazzo and ASV levers and they also don't appear to operate the microswitch.


TL/DR short story how have others gone about fitting these levers, and are you happy with them?
Cheers, Neil

This is the one I bought. My mate has just used a 'proper' ear plug kit and he said that the stuff is identical. It is not tacky or anything, once it is dry (2 minutes) it is sealed. Dead easy to use and washable.

Just to add, 1/2 a teaspoon of each mixed together does both ears. (well it did mine) It seems to me to be better than the foam plugs for reducing noise, maybe because it is a better fit?
They will get a proper test tomorrow, I am shooting in the morning.

Humbling!
