Been using one for mx for years, great bit of kit, only problem i could see would be how well it fits with the neck of the leathers, wont be long until they start making the leathers to fit with the brace like they do on alot of mx jerseys these days

Optimate plug under the pillion seat is the neatest way imo. I live just round the corner from a garage so usually keep the fuel tank empty as possible to refill with fresh. Tyres at the right pressure on paddock stands

After a life time of rebuilding mx bikes ill only ever use super unleaded in my performance bikes. The reason, not power output, unless its set up to run on that fuel (compression and mapping etc), but I have found far less carbon build up on the super unleaded, Optimax was a favourite before...

Ultimate track bike out of the box, had mine on the track a few times, intact haven't used it on the road since I took it on the track haha, feels pointless now. Noticed a few of the guys that work at No Limits have gone for s1k's now

There was a run of problems with the new 2012 but they were recalled and sorted, any other problems are not year/batch specific, just bad luck. Ive got a very early 2010, 59 plate infact and its good as gold, never missed a beat. Although the gearbox isn't as silky as a map box, the rest of the...

We all remember that feeling

Hope it gets sorted for you asap, never nice but hopefully the customer service is up to scratch

Having taken a few of these off I can say they have a VERY thin carcass, almost worrying when they are down to minimum tread depth. A lot of the sport tyres are going the same way, they are performance tyres after all.

Wonder if the bike/car etc was modified and the insurance was invalidated like that?

Would hiring a Harley count as a gamble?

The helicopter ride into the canyon was one of the things thats a definite on the list, along with hiring a Harley and shooting (the uzi being my weapon of choice).

Don't know how many of you guys have read the latest Fast Bike, very interesting article in the law section. Seems if you don't cancel your insurance policy when you sell your bike, you can be personally liable should the buyer be uninsured. Person sold his bike, thought he'd leave the...

Wouldn't lose any sleep over it, not a thing he can do here, probably just in a shitty mood, no evidence because you didn't do anything wrong, one persons word against another means nothing. Supposed to have a reason for pulling you, but that could be anything from, looked like your tyre was low...

Haha, you have is email address to forward on?

Getting pretty bad judder only after prolonged heavy braking, sounding like hot spots on the rotors, anyone have any issues like this on standard brake setup?
