Is their any other make of swingarms that would fit the gen1 direct without any mod or min mod needing, cheers Stewie

My Gen 1 has now covered about 73,000 miles and it smells like the clutch is hot or burning after my ride home, around 11 miles. Its the smell you get following a lorry up a hill. The clutch is not slipping. Do I need to think about buying new plates and if I do what do you suggest I buy? Is fitting a new clutch an easy job? I presumably need a gasket and both friction and metal plates? Anything else?

Ok folks, the new thread for 2014.

A reiteration of the rules.

1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.

2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.

3. Challenge is good for a week; if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.

4. Nothing illegal to be challenged.

5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.

6. No repeat challenges.

7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions will be allowed, eg, your bike next to a bike cop.

8. Only 1 person can win each challenge; any other entrants will not be counted, due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.

9. If any dispute about a challenge occurs, 3 oks from others settles the challenge.


Remember, this thread is supposed to get people to want to go ride straight away and beat others to the challenge - be creative, but be sensible about it.



Right, I'll set the first one to save any faffing around.

YOUR BIKE NEXT TO A FLOODED FIELD.

So, the rear fairing on my bike is in need of a repair (or I'm in need of something to do?). There are 3 sections. Left, right and middle/infill part. They screw together. Well the right one has no screw tabs as they are broken. So I was going to bond the infill section to the right fairing. Any suggestions what product to use? Please note that I have attempted this with glue and it did not work. So I am looking for something more permanent and that will not damage the plastic.


Thanks guys

I picked one up the other day, but it's REALLY big for a belly pan, and I'm more of a subtle type of guy. Apart from the obnoxiously bright yellow, the bike is quite subtly done IMO.


What do you think? It'll be a post-winter thing though, as I'm not willing to remove my engine bobbins to fit it, and don't really want to cut massive holes in it.


Alternatively, if anyone has a smaller one they want to swap for it, I'd be up for that. My bike is a daily, so I need it to be easy! This piece of kit is brand new, never been fitted! (sorry the bike is FILTHY, it happens living in the countryside!)

So, my bike is back together again and it seems fine on first test. However, the speedo wasn't working - took wheel off again and two snapped lugs (apparently a common thing).


Anyone know where to get part 15 on this link?
