    Lowered footpegs

    Not got raised bars. Not overly but then I?ve covered about 200k in the last 10 years on sports bikes so I may be immune to it. Think the lowered pegs help with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lowered footpegs

    The seat is worth it. Combined with rearsets you can lower the peg height too. I?m 6?2 and commute on mine. Needs the seat and rearsets though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Clarke Bike Lift

    Er.... wheel the bike on backwards !!! Just make sure the bolts are fitted properly as well. There is no self balance like the ABBA or Clarke lift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Acf 50

    Tanks for the warming advice. Stuck it in a jug of boiling water whilst I washed the bike and it went on in a mist.

    Acf 50

    I have a spray bottle like the one below Got it out to use the other day but when I use the spray it just comes out as a stream, not a mist spray. Is this normal? Im sure it must be better applied as a fine mist.

    Questions about the 2019 RR?

    Rear Brake

    I?m not saying I do lock it up, just that a lot of pressure is required to make it feel like the bike is slowing and yet you can lock it up at low speed. I use it all the time as I commute into central London every day. Nothing annoys me more than filtering behind another bike perfectly balanced...

    Rear Brake

    Always found mine to need a lot of pressure to feel it?s slowing at all but will lock up under 10mph. Was thinking of changing m/c but not sure what to use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How's your online identity health?

    Another good password tip is to have a phrase and incorporate a number and special character. Cracking software times go up exponentially above around 10 characters. For example. My favourite track is brand hatch gp I lap at 2:05 This translates to MftibhGPila2:05 You can then fill in the...

    2017 S1000RR with DDC - Preload/Sag Help

    I?m about 18 stone with kit on. Couldn?t get sag anywhere near the recommendations. 1 was too much one was not enough which made no sense. Someone like MCT suspension is your best bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best Gen3 end can ??

    Which headers did you go for or did you cut and fit a link pipe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Optimizers/trickle chargers

    Check the settings on the tracker. Some ?touch base? regularly and some just lie dormant until disturbed. Most of the ?touch base? ones can have the setting disabled as it is this that uses the power. All will use some power to liaise with the GPS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Still using it

    My Gixxer is on 99k and this is my second S1k. First went to 33k and this on 36k. That pic was after a commute home. Temp around 8 degrees but the BT 31s cope admirably. Really notice a drop in grip around 4 degrees but suppose that?s to be expected [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2017 Headers question

    Next question. Is a power commander a necessity with a decat, or just advisable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2017 Headers question

    Fair point but it?s for the road. Big advantage for me is noise. Central London you need to be heard! Made me laugh that they asked the question. To get 20 extra bhp would need a retune! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2017 Headers question

    I've got the Akra gp style can with the 2 pipes. Akra headers are 730 Arrow headers are 666. Will it make a difference which ones I go for? insurance have said ok as long as power increase is less than 10%. Fairly sure headers won't get me 20 bhp extra :dejection:
