Hey Guys,
My 2007 S2 currently has 10,500 miles on it. I am going on a trip around europe in July which I believe will be 2000+ miles. Do you think I should have the service done now before the trip or when I get back? I believe the12K service is when the valves are adjusted? Has anybody experienced any reliability issues after having this work done? At the moment it's a very reliable bike, I don't want to mess with it if it will have negative affects on the reliability.
Also, screens. I know this has been asked a thousand times but the wind buffeting is pretty bad at my head, something I would like to try and rectify before the trip. I find at my height, 5' 10", the screen just directs the wind straight at my face which eventually makes my neck ache and means I can't see for dead flys within minutes. The general consensus seems to be double bubble screen is better than touring? Has anyone tried a clip on spoiler on the standard screen?
Thanks.

As above, Boss oval carbon. been shortened by an engineering firm, looks good,( but not as good as my new Mivv !) baffle included but its not too loud.  £80
cant do pics cos I am old. I could text you them though, cos I am not that old...

Anybody got one they don’t want? Got an aftermarket blue flame which is a bit loud.
Cheers,
Craig

Lorenzo is about to sign a two year deal with  Honda to be "team mates " with Marquez, I did not expect that.
Apparently Zarco turned Honda down to go to KTM, hope that works out well for him.

So after 17 years of looking at my elbows and doing the funky chicken I decided to get some pattern R6 mirrors with the longer stem for a better view.
In my view not worth the bother.
Before the outside OEM dimensions across from mirror to mirror was 830mm and the R6 when on the bike were 840mm both mirrors are 140mm mirror area wide. So I gain 5mm less elbow view in each mirror.
But the OEM ones are taller at 85mm and the pattern are 75mm and squarer the OEM ones are wider where you need them and taper off where you do not.
Yes the pattern ones have a longer stem but that is not the whole story because the OEM ones although have a shorter stem the plastic around the mirror is elongated making up the difference.
You can see this in my picture although the pattern ones are on the bike and its hard to get the OEM ones next to them but you can see on the OEM ones the elongated shape of the plastic meaning that the actual glass on the OEM shorter stem ends up in almost the same position as the pattern longer stem version. The picture is a bit misleading as it makes the pattern ones look like they stick out more but its only my 5mm each side
The pattern ones sit higher maybe a person other than 5'8" tall would get on better but I do also have long arms for my height.
Good points on the pattern ones is that they were an exact fit and at ALL speeds there was no vibration.
So my OEM ones are back on for a slightly taller view and also I have datatag etching on the OEM glass, And also after 17 years of filtering that 10mm extra pattern width feels more like 1000mm.
Remember that this review is mirrors fitted on a Boxeye

Hi,


Probably a stupid question, but...


I've just had both fork stanchions replaced and the garaged fitted preload adjusters (it didn't have those before), I've noticed they (the adjusters) are at different heights, is this normal/ok?


Part of me thinks they should be identical, another bit of my brain think it's because they've been individually adjusted to allow for the fact that the old springs/internals have been re-used and might be worn differently?


Is this worth worrying about? Or does it not actually matter at all? I'm not a total stranger to mechanics, but forks aren't something I've ever played with before.

Hi, i am selling magnet rotor. 200 euros. Bike was done 20000 kms.
