Hi All, C 100% agree, the bike is music to us all, and your only chance to listen. (I'll never hear the "mut" on full chat - and I did frequently.. :( ) BUT, a bit of music to "dub" on the off board shots will go down well. (Unless drowned out by the crowds gasps obviously.) ROLE ON SEPTEMBER 1st.. ...

Hi Yoniboi, I've always used NGK plug caps with no problems at all. I prefer copper wired leads, they do not break down internally as easily as the more modern stuff tends to.. MsHap, this is bugging me now... Seems the sworn to secrecy would be to cover "embarresment" at a "silly" mistake. - Right ...

OK, last go, not the dreaded, 1 /4 and 2 /3 plug cap reversal..
Thats the usual coil "problem",
though just for a change, 1 / 2 and 3 / 4 can give interesting results.. :roll:

Of course, following the manuel you'd removed the fuses first.
And being no ignition key / light, you hadn't noticed you hadn't replaced them...
:right - ;)
No wonder no tell us.. :Rolling

Nope not read the manuel recently - piccies are not pretty enough for me.. I had a dead set if indicators recently, Yamaha have a habit of crimping wires together in the wireing loom, (in this case where the hazards feed had been spliced in) if water gets in the unprotected connection corrodes then ...

Hi All, Due to lots of things I am having to let the "mut" go.. It may need a new battery, but that's about it. 1750 to a good home. Contact me by PM, if interested, or you'd like more info. NB - There's a few spare parts to be sold as well... Later edit / addition Hi All, Comes with (obviously real...

Hi All, re - mounting brackets see this video, The Pass of the Cattle. [/color] .."bracket" on that occasion was a bit of toweling and some gaffer tape on top of helmet. (First real ride after Oulton Park incident as well..) Given a longer lead, and an accepted slight loss of quality, would the "pre...

Hi All, C, I doubt there is any need of luck, or http://bestsmileys.com/fingers/1.gif to get below 1.30s. Sub 1.25s may take 2 sets of tyres a day though. - I think you'll get there. Sub 1.25s seemed http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Surprise/surprised-003.gif when we started at over 2.15s (we...

Hi All, My 2 penneth... Some years ago while "resting" in hospital, C visited me. The conversation got round to steering (above walking speeds) of motorcycles. I stated if you turn the bars slightly to the right, bike turns left. I've been riding years C stated, that does not happen. Yes it does, sa...

Hi All,
what's that big metal structure under the Honda's seat...
Frame, looks too big, collector box, too far from exhausts, surely.
(too hot a seat as well, presumably...)
Anyone know..

Hi All,
Fantastic images djalbin, your right about the tail ends being "missing" as well.
It would seem silencers are a thing of the past as well, including exhaust pipes...

Hi Don,
Spot on, I thought it was a really good example of a rider not "seeing"
when to overtake..unlike C's Part 2 above.
He, caused his own downfall by letting the rider infront get in his way,
rather than seeing a way around him.
