    Brembo upgrade order

    Thanks for all the advice and honest feedback. I was happy to spend the money over the winter as if it doesn?t go on my bike it will go on golf clubs instead. However I fully take on board all the points that my current riding ability is still within the capability of the OEM set up. I will be...

    Brembo upgrade order

    Unfortunately I don?t do any work on my bike as I simply don?t have the knowledge or skills to even change pads. I?m the sort of guy who has snapped the tabs on the fairing so everything I do turns out an expensive mistake. I couldn?t afford the risk of getting pads wrong.

    Brembo upgrade order

    I have a gen 3 2015 which is mainly used on track, however I do want to keep it road compliant in case I need to take it on the road on rare occasions. I mainly do the IAM skills days and ride at Castle Coombe on my own club days and the BMW days at Snetterton. I would say I am not a fast rider...

    Suspension set up

    I?m 15 stone and 5?11. I don?t know what the weight with gear would be.

    Suspension set up

    No fork service, he was quite happy with everything else so just a simple set up for my weight.

    Suspension set up

    I had my suspension set up today by Perry at HM Racing. Best ?108 I?ve spent on the bike. Very friendly service and I can highly recommend them if you are in the south east. Heres a print out of my settings.

    Motorrad Insured Warranty

    I understand the ban for foul and abusive language but as a moderator surely your role should have been more impartial rather than an agent provocateur. Changing someone else?s post to reword it that we all hate him was vindictive and no wonder provoked an offensive reply. It was kicking a man...

    Led Bulbs

    I?ve just ordered and fitted these. I like the way they still look like a normal lamp when housed. Thanks for the recommendation. Just need to find a product of similar quality for the H7 now.

    LED Headlights from Merica!

    I have contacted the seller and he has stated that these are not E mark certified so that?s a deal killer for me.

    LED Headlights from Merica!

    Great point and one that had completely slipped my mind.

    LED Headlights from Merica!

    I am very tempted to buy these. Has anyone bought these yet and any comments on their use. Would these be road legal and pass the MOT here in the UK.

    Tyre wear front to rear

    Hi unfortunately I don?t have the skills or knowledge to trail brake. Can bike set up influence tyre wear so the front goes well before the rear? I?ve booked a suspension set up at HM Racing in a couple of weeks so hopefully they can help as well. If I?m doing something wrong with my riding...

    Tyre wear front to rear

    Can anyone explain why my front tyres are wearing out quicker than my rears. Is this bike set up, riding style etc. My current Michelin Power RS front and rear were changed at the same time. I have 2mm left on the front and 4mm left on the rear. I do 2k Miles approx on road and about 6 IAM...

    Reducing DB’s for track

    I have received my new end can from Powertech and took it for noise testing today at Castle Coombe. It recorded 105.9, down from 108 with the Akrapovic end can. The pass is 105 dB, however the tester advised there is a 1dB of tolerance, so anything below 106. It literally passed by 0.1dB . The...
