    New spark plugs and air filter

    Mine has K&N for about 40,000 miles, no problems , power is good 199bhp with full akra and PCv. cleaned and oiled once or twice. Original plugs NGK are good for 18,000 miles, same as the shim check, so I get dealer to change them whilst doing the check and fresh coolant. It's gen 1.

    Which ? Lithium Battery

    thinking of fitting these (yamaha?) ones to my gen 1, could you show me the "hole" on the controller side please? I think I might need to cut it around to fit over the grip / switch mount on the LH side. TIA

    Sprint Air filter

    yep, doubt you would notice unless the old one was very dirty! having said that just swapped the filter in my mx5 for a K&N and it seems the throttle response is crisper, the old one wasn't horribly dirty or a genuine mazda one, but seems to be a noticeable improvement. (still way less power...

    New chain costs

    DID ZVMX chain is best (IMO), supersprox rear, ally ones don't wear as well, steel front, I got one with the sound deadener on, last set did about 16000 miles

    Sprint Air filter

    Mine (gen1) had a k and n in it when I got it in 2014, still there after the 36,000 miles I've done on it, cleaned it once (or possibly twice), no problems at all, it's got a full akra, and pc5 mapped , 199bhp at the back wheel - think that's a good enough recommendation.

    Tyre width - 200 vs 190

    I seem to remember when I first fitted the 200 was slightly cheaper, (maybe a supply issue with 190 being more popular?) anyway Pretty sure 200 is a bit more now, I use rosso corsas and the price seems to have gone up over the last few years anyway, but I know I like them and it's only once a...

    Tyre width - 200 vs 190

    i've been running 200s on my gen1, (had a couple of 190s too), can't say it's made much difference, but as they say size matters!

    Gen 1 quick action throttle

    the one i have (I think alpha) is just the throttle tube and fits using the original cables, getting the original housing apart requires an odd size small torx and reassembly needs a bit of thought to make sure its all in the correct hole ( iI managed to bend a bolt and get it wrong first...

    London Bike Show

    We always spend most of the day in the bar drinking overpriced beer, so maybe will just pick a big dealer, with pub next door, once they are open again and save the entry fee for a curry!

    Top Mountain Motorcycle Museum

    I've been there for lunch whilst on skiing holiday in Obergurgl, It was a great place - my 2 favourite things; bikes and skiing. Having said that we came up the pass on the way back from Italy a couple of Septembers back (last time I was there) and it was colder than the skiing holiday, freezing...

    Under Suit options

    I tend to use my snow and rock ski base layers, normally just top half, last well and keep you warm enough
