And the hole has returned. The bandage wasn't up to the job
I've taken the pipes off and I'm getting it welded instead
That should sort it

Hahaha.....I didn't take any offence m8y :D You've got to read that post in your best Margo voice (as in the Good Life). 'Well really Jerry, that's the last time I play the Tart for you!' I think a nice gun gum bandage will hold for a fair while. The hole is on a straight piece of pipe before it ent...

That's the last time I play the bitch for you two!

Left RoSPA sun lunchtime and went for a blast home on the back roads....had a small burn up with a boy racer :lol: and when I reached the next town the exhaust note had changed, bugger :? . Got home and, yup, it was blowing. Stripped the panels off last night and discovered a small hole in the down ...

mmm...shiny bitz
They always increase the cool factor IMHO

With a GPZ I used to own, I would remove the chain and soak it in parrafin then wipe of the muck and let it dry off for a bit. I had one of those tins of chain lube that you heated up on the cooker to make it fluid, then popped the chain into the tin let it soak for a while before hanging it up to l...

heck...I was lucky when I fitted my solo seat and undertray. I only had to unbolt the rear frame work and remove two screws and the whole unit, including lights etc, came off in one piece!

A guy I know has recently fitted an undertray to his R1. He was worried about doing it after reading it wasn't a job for a novice, as it involved a bit of chopping around, but he did in one day and said it was a piece of p*ss! Seen some pics of it and it looks well smart 8) DO IT :D +that image look...

Wouldn't it be just perfect to find a mechanic in a central location, who would spend as much care and attention to detail on your machine as you would yourself. Charge a reasonable price for a decent job, replacing all your panels and pipes correctly and be happy in the fact you'd taken your busine...

I ride a ZXR750 and so far I've only used Bridgestone bt010's. I've not had a single 'momment' with them in the wet or dry, in fact, they are superb in the dry and inspire confidence. :D: I was recently on a RoSPA ride on a frosty sunday morning and the two guys I was with complained their bikes wer...

Right, who does their own servicing??? Cos' if you do........can you do mine plz?? :cry: I do the oil, filters, plugs chain etc....but not valve clearances or carb balancing. I'm also happy to remove my wheels for a tyre change....found a good tyre dealer in Barnstaple and got a rear bt 010 fitted a...
