    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...

    Reducing DB’s for track

    What were the changes made in the 2017 Euro 4 to make bikes quieter. Are there any that I can do to my 2015 bike. Below is taken from Castle Coombes website: we seem to be finding that the majority of 2017 Euro 4 bikes are passing the noise test, due to the lower noise limit of these bikes...

    Reducing DB’s for track

    Hi I spoke to Simon at Powertech and he has recommended the 450mm track can as below. I just need to measure the inlet to see if it is 60 or 65 mm, does anyone know what it is as can’t do this until much later. He can supply the can in both though. This is designed to fit onto my Akra headers. I...

    Reducing DB’s for track

    I have a 2015 gen 3 with a full titanium Akra system, however it is too loud for the noise test at my local track at Castle Coombe ( 3/4 rev range, 12000 rpm at 105 dB). My bike tests around 107-108. I really want to start using this track as my club hire it exclusively several times a year and...

    Gen 4 mirrors

    Is there any methods for fitting gen 4 mirrors on to a gen 3 bike. It appears that the distance between the bolts are different, but I was wondering if anybody has come across any form of adapter plate.

    Deja vu

    I got my bike back from Bahnstormer today. It would appear that when the PC5 was fitted it was placed in a position that was causing pressure on the alarm wire plug, in turn this caused the wires to split and rub, thus leaving them exposed. Each time I washed the bike water would ingress and...
