Has anyone else taken a bird straight down the air intake? I took a chaffinch at ***mph yesterday and what a fecking mess! If you are unwilling to spend hours stripping the bike down it is a complete pain trying to clean the frame/intake as the design of it splits the bird in two! I used an...

Magnatec/edge 5w 40? Can anyone see any reason why this oil would have any detrimental effect? Power1 5w 40 is harder to get hold of in 5litre form and very expensive. I will stick to oem filter.

I need a clutch lever as mine is bent. I noticed that the 2010 bike has a different part number to a 2012 bike. Anyone know of a source for levers that won't fook up the clutch switch? (Hp are a bit pricey for me) Thanks

Made a vid of clips from today, its what I call Youtube friendly (if you know what I mean), so should avoid unwanted attention. I struggled with a good attachment point for the camera that didnt vibrate like a rampant rabbit, but the lower fairing area showing fork leg was ok. Its a borrowed...

I knew I was pushing it with the Cadwell session in Feb, but it looks like Donny on the 5th might be shite as well! Anyone booked on the BM session?

This is part one of the answer, I have asked for clarification on the fwd and rear limits as well. In relation to your specific query, I can confirm that I have obtained the below from AG that states the maximum defection allowable in the rear sprocket carrier, to confirm, if pulled with a...

As you may or not know I had a bit if bother with my rear sprocket carrier setup from new. After all the items were replaced by bm there is still play in the carrier i.e you can rock the sprocket carrier in a fwd rear motion in the direction of wheel travel without the wheel moving. I am not...

Do you have play in the rear sprocket/carrier? I am talking to bm now about my problem. Do the 2010 bikes suffer with this? I cannot believe that after a complete cx of rear end drive components there should be any play at all never mind the amount on mine. I can't remember any earlier model...

Hi, Whilst changing out a rear tyre prior to a Cadwell trackday, I noticed that the play once the sprocket carrier is located in the wheel was probably about 3mm before the cush rubbers were engaging. Anyone noticed this? I have worked on plenty of bikes and even when the cush drive rubbers are...
