I'd be interested in the clip ons if they're not gone too TheGodfather...

Another vote for TST - and another vote for it being pretty easy; follow the video!

Yep, I have it. Massively more comfortable than the m sport seat. Never sat on a standard one to compare. Cost over 300m quid but figured I'd be better off biting the bullet rather than pondering it for ages only to wish I'd done it sooner.

Keen to hear how you guys are getting on with this kit - quite fancy one....

Just to follow up, I did a front fluid change - swapped for Castrol SRF, then sent her off for 4 days at Almeria. Like you guys said, just as easy as changing the fluid on any other bike. Bike was faultless throughout the trip, brakes were excellent. Surprised how eager the rear wheel was to...

Yep, you're right. Was only the unknown ABS element that was putting me off, but sounds like doesn't impact the process unless changing lines\calipers\MC etc. , so I'll stop being a fanny and crack on.

Morning all, I've done a bit of work prepping the bike for track (2nd set of fairings fitted, crash protection, slicks brembo Z04 pads) and I'm interested to hear anyone's experience of using the OEM brake fluid on track. I'm on the standard Hayes calipers, with Brembo Z04's installed - in two...

Appreciate both replies fellas, just one of those irrational, cold sweat midnight moments! Mine looks the same as banamans, and spins freely.

Hi all. Had my rear wheel out for the first time yesterday to get a new tyre fitted. Reinstalled it then woke up in the middle of the night thinking "shit, why didn't the spacers fall out when I removed that wheel. Does it have spacers. Have I lost them. Am I going to die next time I ride."...

Hi all - looking for some opinions/experiences of the right path to go down when prepping a Gen4 for track use: Fairings - I'm stuck between the idea of scrounging a 2nd set of road fairings off eBay and using those on track, or going for actual track fairings. The only thing putting me off...

Cheers Alex. Bit of both, but in reality I expect it'll do 80% of its miles on track. Having said that I'm interested to see how good the ddc, cruise control etc. make it as a road bike - be nice if its a comfortable enough alternative to my ageing vfr.

Hi guys. Soon to collect a 6 month old S1k. Can't wait.
