I was recently advised to buy a 55 tyre instead of a 50.
Had the tyres changed this morning and I personally think it's the best thing I've changed on the bike so far.
Turn in is better, mid cornering feel improved, slightly higher back end which I prefer.
I run on s20 evo tyres.
The only slight downside would be that it takes a tiny bit more clutch on take off but no big deal.
All personal experience but maybe someone else will enjoy the change
just had the sprocket cover off and it was full of crap (no suprise)
so coated in degreaser to do its stuff while doing some other stuff and a goldish plate appeared
anyone know what is under there ?
just wondering as it may now be full of degreaser and might need regreased if important
Brought a pair of boots off ebay, great for riding in but you can't walk more than five steps without getting sore feet. They seem to be lined with old hessian sacking and it rubs on the back of my heal as I walk. Other than throw them away I'm not sure what to do with them (had them to long to return)
My bike came with bar risers fitted, and I want to try it without them, but the clamp bolts are too long. Anyone know the length of the standard bolts, or can take one out and measure it, so I can either borrow a few from work or buy some?
Hi everyone.
I've had the stantions of my fzs 600 rechromed but unfortunately now I've been told by my mechanic that the plastic dampers inside the stantions have been melted and the only option is to buy new stantions because the plastic dampers cannot be replaced. Has this happened to anyone before and if so how did you deal with it?
Thanks
My wife and I support our local hospice, Nightingale House, Wrexham. The above ride starts in Llangollen at 10am, registration will open at 8-30am, then Horseshoe Pass, Corwen, Bala, Trawsfynydd, Dolgellau, Bala, Corwen, A5 back to Llangollen. Total distance of 100 miles. Marshals will be riding with you. Expect to return to Llangollen around 4pm. Calfon Prysor Centre at Trawsfynydd will be open for food and drink. If any foccers are within riding distance of Llangollen it would be great if you could find the time to support this ride.
