Guys, I need to get another Optimate (current one is being used to keep my car alive) and there's a surprising number of different models now.

Presuming none of my vehicles have lithium batteries (3 bikes and 2 cars) newest being a 2016 but I checked and that has a lead acid type battery, which Optimate should I go for?

When I bought my current one there was only a choice of 6v or 12v so it was an easy decision to make.

I would need to use the new one on my FZ1S and a 2012 Audi so it has to do both - any recommendations?

Hi, my FZ1 came with some gold foldable aftermarket levers, I've just changed back to OEM purely because I don't like the colour. The levers always fitted ok and look well made but is there any way to tell if they are cheap Chinese copies or a reputable make like pazzo?


I only ask as this would determine their value to sell them on.


Cheers

Hi,


hope some one can help, im looking at replacing my CDI unit info on the unit(J4T095 72 5DM-01 2X08) and was looking at second hand units. All the info is the same on other units except the last four digit(on my unit 2X08). My question is are any of the other units interchangable ie: 2000 model to a 2003 or 1998 to a 2003.
I cant seem to find and info to say they are or are not. :'(


thanks in advance

Good Evening all,

Seems like every few weeks I have a problem post!


I noticed a small oil leak coming from inside the front sprocket cover and when I took it off it had all the hallmark signs of the gear selector cover gasket as described by an old post I found on the old tapatalk forum. Ordered a replacement gasket, removed the cover to which the old gasket split in multiple pieces. Found the oil leak I thought! Spent much time gently scraping and cleaning the contact surfaces ready for new gasket, installed new gasket and whipped it all back together. Aces I thought! Job done.... or so I thought.


Popped to local shops this afternoon for some groceries. No issues on the way there. On the way back however I am changing down from 60mph in 6th to 2nd gear to take a tight island and upon exiting the island the bike wont shift up into 3rd. Bugger. Tried to release and re-engage clutch and pre load the lever prior to shifting to no avail. Get the bike home and up onto the main stand, whip off the foot peg, sprocket cover and shift linkage. Nothing looks untoward. So I place the arm which goes on the selector shaft and try to shift the gearbox. 1st, up to 2nd. No 3rd.


So my question gents, seems like I've ballsed it up somehow but what I should I be looking for tomorrow when I get back in the garage? I'll have to order another gasket and get the cover off again but if there's nothing obviously out of place what should I be looking for?


As always, thanks for the help.

Currently wearing a loud Remus,would swap or buy a quieter can and link pipe. Not standard,i have one of those too if it is needed.


Milton keynes area, will travel an hour anywhere.
