just wanted to know other people's opinions on the very different pricing for aftermarket levers, do I go for the expensive £100 a lever :eek asv levers which I'm sure must be quality or the cheap Chinese levers which look pretty much the same but are under £20 a pair! Or others at around £60 a pair... such a massive difference for what I suppose is just a small piece of milled metal but saying that you wouldn't want your brake lever to snap or fall off going into a bend of summat. Anyone got either cheap or expensive ones or have any input?
hi all.
Well I’ve managed to snap the heads off of a couple of my exup housing bolts and most of the thread is left in the housing.
For those who have been there or who know what I need to do now, what do I do now, help!!!! :'(
I've waited long enough now so it's eventually time to ask for your font of knowledge.
There's a noise coming from my bike that I can't even fathom out whereabouts it's even from yet due to added wind noise?
Best description is a whirring sound which seems to go along with the engine speed, most noticeable when I shut off the throttle and let the bike slow down with the engine. Imagine clicking a cable tie really quickly but it's constant.
Thing is, it only goes away when I pull the clutch in.
So that rules out anything to do with the wheels or wheel bearings.
It doesn't go away either if I use one or both brakes, it just slows the noise down, but as soon as the clutch is pulled in it's gone.
It sounds a bit too loud to me to be a vibration thing, although I've not completely ruled that out yet, but from what I can guess I don't think it's coming from the rear of the bike.
And pulling the clutch in doesn't stop the chain from moving so it can't be that either.
Any thoughts or ideas welcome, as firstly it's annoying the hell out of me, and secondly, something's obviously not right at all is it?
