I forgot you tried it Noggy, i'm glad you feel it worked 'cos i'm still convinced it works brilliantly.
I've not heard a bad review of it yet by someone that's actually given it a trial.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

Thers defo more smotheness on my bikes gear change since sticking it in,& its not jus coz ive changed the oil coz the old oil was basically still brand new when it came out.i did stick some in my car & i was convinced it workedthere to but to be honest i cant feel it any more coz im positive ive got a problem that i cant prove so its totally fikd up my darsi8 experiment...the bike is running sweet though 8)
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
Hahaha! Wish I had time to work on it to get it finished!! Hate not having my own garage to work in!
If I find my gear changes clunky then I'll give the active8 stuff a try but anything is better than the terrible gearbox that honda put in the cbr125 I learned on. Essentially a gearbox from a motox bike so it would take a lot of beating but you really had to be quite forecfull with it... It was made to be stamped on but not for smoothness...

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

After the few comments yesterday i rode home from work and in contrast to what people are saying on here my gear changing from 1st to 2nd was seamless and very smooth, as in virtually all of the gears.
The only time it clunks is neutral to 1st, but even that's not as bad as it used to be.

I use brake cleaner for this and then once clean relube with a good quality spray grease.... This will make a big difference to the clutch.
As i doubt the previous owner gave it much tlc i thought i'd do this today, oh my!!!!, i wish i'd taken a piccie, it was FULL of old chain oil/grit etc, so currently cleaning/relubeing now.
One question in all the gunk i found a 1 1/2" cylindrical white nylon bush, i'm guessing this is mean to go onto the gear selector rod? (pretty sure it was just floating in the gunk)
EDIT, Found some pictures and it does.
Next door is a childminder so will have to wait untillthe school run to see if its any different now (i'm sure the power/weight ratio will have improved!!)
Feels better 1-2, although to be fair it never felt that bad. Now i've got the selector too high, is there an 'official' way of refitting, or just a trial and error job?
