Given that you are keeping the Cats, and not trying to sound patronising here, wouldn't it be best to look up any proposed track days you might attend if they are published, or even the circuits you want to attend - the noise restriction levels will be published for the circuit on the circuit...

I had a fabulous wet/drying track day in July 21 in NE England at Croft circuit - which I was absolutely rubbish at but enjoyed the James Whitham experience nevertheless, then spent 4 other days riding around the fine roads you have up there, N Yorks, Northumberland and the Scottish Borders -...

Welcome Phil! +1 Cruise Control, use mine like the others in speed restricted & average speed zones, we even have 20mph b*ll*cks zones around me too and I use it there, not that the Uber drivers worry about them. Thumbs up on your 2T Aprilia I like the shape of that swing-arm, engine sounds...

Welcome, and +1 as Alex mentioned about the tyres. Its going to get very cold on the long range forecasts next week too. Where in the country are you based and what type of riding do you intend to do? Mainly Road, some track days? Lots of useful resources here and plenty of knowledgeable...

If I recall recently @Katie had a very similar problem with the clutch cable free play and then the cable failed very quickly afterwards and left her stranded. Might be worth either detaching the cable and sliding it from the protective sheath and checking whether it all looks okay or even...

Before you rush off and buy another bike battery, try one of these. I have one of these in my arsenal to repair batteries which have run completely flat which an Optimate 3 (which I also have) can't repair. Search fleabay for "12V Battery Pulse Charger", this is the item I have, search fleabay...

I?m interested too

YouTube is your friend. You can buy a spray chemical which softens the leather. Tried it on the wife's cowboy boots, doesn't work! 1. Mark the areas on the outside of the boot with chalk where you think that they are tight and put on a thin pair of socks, borrow some sock tights from the woman...

Hi Alex, For those of us who are over 6' 2" and don't want to look like a gorilla sh6gging a rugby ball when we ride. I previously researched the web and came across these two value sites where I might consider having a M2M 1 piece leather suit with an airbag if the present Mrs W would hurry up...

A massive tip of the hat to Radd Seiger, he was the solicitor for the Dunn's and from the same area as Harry was. If ever you need a solicitor who will get something done for an injustice like this, find him and hire him. Read his profile here They should make him Attorney General especially...

Pardon me for stating the bleeding obvious bananaman, but have you checked or set the sag measurement front and rear and adjusted the respective preloads for your weight?

Hi Katie, I had a snapped clutch cable too on another bike. I use this tool (search eBay for "dual cable lubricator" - they're less than ?7 each) with a silicone based spray to lubricate both my clutch and throttle cables - it will do both the throttle cables at the same time and ensures the...

My new Gen 3 came with M7RR's & I couldn't ever get them warm to the touch after a ride, even tried a new set after the OEM ones wore out. Switched to the S22's and really like them, nice and warm which gave me confidence. Never ridden on Corsa's though. As mentioned earlier, it's about what...

Now you bloomin' well tell me to read the user manual first! Just did that very same thing with my Ducati Scrambler, ended up having to drop the oil level after I'd topped it up, removing the 600ml I'd just put in. Bloomi' oil everywhere on the brick paved drive except in the designated catch...

Thank you. I too have just googled "BMW S1000RR rear wheel Captive Spacer" and got a set now on order. For the sake of a small flange, you would have thought that Motorrad would have changed the design of the spacer or even bought these in to fit onto new bikes..... Colin, I do hope your ankle...

I feel your pain! You really do need 5 pairs of hands to do this. I have also sweated and sworn and previously demanded the head of the designer of the rear wheel installation/brake calliper of the bike be presented to me! Actually, after my last service with Bahnstormers, they handed me back...

I've done EICMA too in 2019, I went there and back on the same day, brilliant - stepped out of the airport and got on a pre-booked bus straight to the show entrance. Elbows out needed near the Ducati and Aprilia stands, Bucket loads of Chinese bikes and accessory stands which were selling mainly...

Going back to the original question from @masho46 about irregular tick over, I appreciate that the bike has a Wideband capability and can learn from the ECU inputs, my fear when I fitted my SC Projects stubby exhaust was the lean area on the air/fuel mix graph as supplied by SC Projects. I then...

The plug shown with the blue and yellow wires? The Alpha Racing 2D potentiometer plugs into a similar connector around that same area that has a blank black cap on it as fitted from the factory - the 2D potentiometer hardware is attached to the outside front left fork measuring the rise and...
