hi, got the bike out of storage for the first time this year today and found some cracking in what i think are the carburetor manifolds. i've tried to put i link to a photograph of them below but if that doesn't work i'll try and give a description. between the carburetors and the back of the engine there are four horizontal pipes about an inch or so long, they're rubberised and have a slight kink built into the design. what i want to know is if anybody has any experience of these. is it a protective layer cracking or is it more serious? do they need replacing asap and if so is it a big job? and could it be a sign of some other problems with the fueling perhaps? sorry for not being more technical but i'm still learning bikes and still have limited experience. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1...db75b8b2ad

Hi


Picked up my 02 bike on saturday and am having problems already.



Shifting up is incredibly difficult and i often have to re-engage the clutch and try again with quite a bit of force to get it to click into place.


This obviously isn't normal - should i take it back to the dealer or are there some quick fixes i could try? It's done 34000 miles and has some service history but not much.


Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi all

Very happy.

Hi all, I have just got a gen 1 1000 that has had ohlins fork springs fitted, problem is the preload is locking out at three rings from hard(both legs), I checked with ohlins and they are the correct springs, so any ideas why I cant screw out the adjustors to the 6th line?

Can anybody explain in plain English where the foc the carb synch crews are please? 
I'm as far as having the tank raised and the gauges connected, found the readings are all over the place, but can't work out where the darn adjustment screws are.
The Haynes manual has a sketch, but I just can't see the little beggars.
Help!

Can anyone advise me on what it is please ? I'm wanting to put some sort of spacer under the mirror to give a bit of clearance from my newly fitted hand guards, thanks
