Before I start taking things apart, I though I'd put it out there to see if someone could point me quickly in the right direction.
My speedo reading has always had a stable reading regardless of the speed. But now I've noticed the needle is getting a bit 'jumpy'. It gets worse the faster I go.
Starts getting nervous at about 50.  At 70 it bounces around between 65 & 75. And at about 120, its bouncing around between 100 & 140  :lol).
Anyone had a similar issue ?

want to get rid of the mini indicators that came with the bike and put originals back on.


anyone got any O.E spares/for sale, at a reasonable cost ??


  SORTED NOW THANKS>> :rolleyes :rolleyes


cheers

I took the tank off for the first time last night, kinda wished I hadn't.  Geez what a lot of c**p there is under there!  No decent access to anything. 
Has anyone, ever, managed to change the #2 and #3 plugs with the engine in situ?!  I looked at the outer ones, using the gadget in the bike tool kit. They seem ok condition/mixture, Iridium type, bit loose in their threads...  So I pondered doing away with the AIS, to make a bit of space, but I can't see how you'd get the main chunk of it out!? 
I suppose I should renew the coolant anyway, and removing the radiator doesn't look too big a deal, maybe then I could check/change the middle two plugs? 
There's a nice clean K and N filter in there, guess I should have checked before ordering a new paper one from Yambits, Doh!
On the outer two carbs (at least), there are no sealing plugs over the idle mixture screws. Were they there as standard on UK bikes?  I wonder if it's been 'got at' already, carb wise.  It did seem to go REALLY well on my shortish test ride...
Brake lines and bleed nipples arrived today, jobs are stacking up, conservatory stinks of petrol already, Mrs on the warpath.  My comment that 'At least the Harley in the lounge doesn't smell' = Wrong answer.

I have just changed the clutch and when I switched my ignition on the hazard lights came on and would not switch off. Any help much appreciated.

R6 shock inc dog bones for sale bought off the late devilsyam (luke) only a couple of years ago. Since then I've done minimal milage on it 1500 miles at most. Great improvement over the poor standard fazer shock, you won't be disappointed !! Any questions pm me, after £150 + post. Will b listing on ebay but thought I ask on this fine site first.

Ok, this one is already on the Facebook forum, but it's very difficult to follow all the different conversations on there, so hopefully we can discuss it reasonably here.

Theft victim charged with murder after ramming thief off his motorcycle

Quote:THE victim of a motorcycle theft has been charged with murder after ramming two motorcycle thieves from his motorcycle as they tried to escape.

I'd like to connect a voltmeter, just an £8 thing from Amazon.
I've got one on my Blackbird after getting stranded (notorious for Reg/Rec issues, in fact one of the 'cures' is to fit an R1 item!) and it's great for peace of mind.  8)
So I need a 'switched' live feed, preferably near to the battery, maybe with a junction so I don't have to cut into anything.
Anybody done similar?

When I start my '04 Gen 1 from cold the fuel gauge acts normally, gently rising and staying stable barring the usual slight movements when accelerating/decelerating.


After a few miles, however, the needle starts to flap around from full to empty and all points between, as if there's no damping.


As the gauge and sender seem to be OK on startup I suspect the wires between, but I've cleaned all the connectors to no effect.


Anyone had similar problems, or any ideas for a solution?

I fancy replacing the original stock brake lines on my bike.
Any particular ones better than others?
Best price I've found is for EBC lines from Demon Tweaks, about £93 the whole set.
Does the FOC-U get a discount anywhere?  I thought I read something about HEL lines but can't find it now...

So the bike has turned up this morning and seems to be in great condition, just some very slight scratches on the (standard) silencer. 
Any views/experiences on good/bad/ugly aftermarket cans?  Budget £200 or less really, looking for good torque, and I imagine I'll do a 'carb jetting job' of some sort this Winter.
I've looked at PipeWerx, Beowulf, Black Widow, Delkevic, Fuel, Scorpion (bit pricey), etc.
But how to choose...?
