Re: New sprockets on a half worn chain?

I'd swap out the while lot. The total cost isn't that much. The mismatch of Old chain and new sprockets will wear the whole setup faster anyway.(according to the MC press). As for roasting, I'm not quite sure why you haven't plugged for making a new chain using diamond crystals and graphite with you...

Re: Well that was different…..

So the reduced grip of the SEs gave you less confidence in turning?

Nice one Rob. Lynmouth is lovely.

What tyres did you get? Did they let go?

Re: July 16th - not so friendly

I'm sure the actual ride will be fine Brian. It's just for those of us further away, the forecast ride back isn't looking good.

Yep same here. It looks like a great ride but being soaked all day ain't fun. It's bucketing down here as I write thi.

Re: Taunton Kawasaki Centre??

I bought a ts125x. They were located near the crematorium roundabout in Taunton. The store was turned into a Hein Gerike store and then to a co-op store when JG ceased trading. They were mainly a Suzuki dealer, thought they sold Yamaha's at the time too. I think they had a shop further up the road t...

Re: fighting back if someone tries to steal your Bike - where you stand.

Do the police ever bother turning up if someone reports a nicked bike with a tracker? I read a few articles a while back where the police wouldn't go to the address.

Re: White lines

I think the bike groups should lobby for either reduction of white lines where they aren't really necessary or perhaps an exception for motorcycles.

I'm sure we've all come across places with white lines where it's easy and safe for a bike to pass but not a car.

New bikes up to £20k? Ducati owners must be breathing a sigh of relief. :-)

Re: Wales - 16-18 June 2023

Did you take the bits off you want and take photos. They normally come back missing stuff.

Like said above don't get a hire bike! You can get them to improve their offer too. Well I did.

The gen 2 FJR has abs. Gen 3 has traction control. That's as far as it went.

Re: Mix and Match Tyres. Good idea or not?

Contact Metzeler and ask them if you unsure. They are pretty good. Do it by email and show the guys boss when they say it's fine.:-)
