I opened the fuel tank today after the first spin in a few months (march) and I really got a big blow out of air and vapour. First time this has happened. Normaly there is some pressure difference big this was quite noticeable.

Normal or not ?

Anyone know where I can get a set of plates to blank off the holes left in the fairing if I switch from fairing to bar mounted mirrors?

I've trawled ebay etc & can only seem to find ones with R1/R6 logos on them, I guess these would fit the 1st gen?  but I'd much prefer either plain ones or ones with the tuning fork logo rather than something that obviously belongs on another bike!

Basically I'd like something like this, but I don't want to pay £45 for them nor wait a couple of weeks for them to ship from Australia! :

Hi all, having passed my test in February this year I purchased all winter style clothing. with it getting warmer I would like something a little less heavy.
Currently I have a Richa Torrent jacket. I have taken the lining out but my arms stick to the waterproof lining when its hot... not nice.


I am a big-ish chap so not sure sporty jackets are suitable. i doubt the general public want to see my arse crack lol.
Saying that i do like the look of the Richa Pinto Jacket. [size=78%]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RICHA-PINTO-ME...069wt_1199[/size]
With any luck that jacket would zip into my trousers.


any one got any thoughts on this?
Cheers and happy summer biking 

decided that i really need a new lid as the one i have is quite a few years old  :eek
trouble is, i don't really know what is out there.
ideally i would like a flip up lid with a sun visor
and would prefer it to be a "vibrant" colour ! (yellow, orange, etc.)
any help would be appreciated.
i'll be trying on the lid before i part with the hard earned, just need a bit of help finding what i am after
thanks

Need to do a full brake overhaul this week, seals 'n all as the winter kicked seven bells out of 'em.
Thanks to the fabulous forty driver I now know they are kinda spongy due to my closing speed being slightly higher than I thought...
:o

So, I'm going to be replacing the pads and usually go for EBC HH sintered (alhtough I cheated and fitted cheap goldfren ones last time, won't be doing that again), but saw kevlar ones online.

Iirc they are less well wearing, but anyone running them want to pitch in with thoughts on feel and overall stopping power?
Cheers.
Aegis.

On my way home the other night my bike developed a loud squeek from the front, as I'd stripped and cleaned my brakes at the weekend ready for the MOT I thought it could be linked. No ! I removed both calipers, it still squeeked, on removing the front wheel a small piece of speedo drive fell out . On inspection the drive had no drive one lug was on the floor the other nowhere to be seen  and the pick up was packed full of grease, is this correct? For now I've glued the single lug back on and washed out all the grease and the squeek has gone. My question (finally) is when I fit the new drive should it be packed with grease or not?

MOT Passed by the way.
