Heres some snaps from my slightly rubbish camera. Awesome day! The first pic has a racer wearing the same helmet as me, us, erm... Typically hes broken down. He must be on my old suzuki bandit...
I've just traded in my beloved 07 fizzer. I've only gone and bought a CB1000R today (gulp) after a test ride from Chiswick Honda.
Sad to see her go really, but excited also.
Anyway, I have C&C carbon cans, a cat eliminator pipe a top box and rack and a lava red Ermax belly pan which I need...
The engine is a detuned R6, its built to rev (it redlines at 14k FGS) it does not like to be molly-coddled. REV IT and keep REVVING IT! She'll thank you for it. Just service it regularly.
Prolly the sensor, just switch the bike off and wait 10 mins if it still doesnt start check:
1. Battery
2. Sidestand cutoff switch (the wire is exposed and can break)
3. Dodgy connections to kill switch
Well, my Caliper has been replaced under warranty (thanks yamaha) the pin securing the pads had worn the securing holes in the caliper slightly. Brand new offside caliper, sqeeky clean.
BUT I can confirm that the clunk is still there.
So thats the caliper out of the question, and the...
I have just got a call from Yammy who have my '07 bike on the bench. They have confirmed that my problem is not the headrace bearings, rather it is a worn pin on the offside caliper causing the caliper to move under load. The entire caliper needs replacement.
Ive had this problem also with an S2 model at 12k miles on the clock. Its getting progressively worse.
I have the bike booked into the stealership on Monday to replace BOTH bearings. I was told that bearings are considered perishable and therefore are not covered under warranty, but the...
Only known issues are:
- Steering head bearings are poor will need testing and poss replacement after 12k.
- Rear shocks are a bit cheap
- Front shocks are not adjustable so its difficult to tune into the rear shock adjustment without getting a little too much compression on breaking...
Hey,
Just performing a straw poll on running temperatures. I have noticed my normal temp rise by some 9-12 degrees after fitting aftermarket cans.
I guess this means its running lean.
Pre cans: 76-85-ish
Post: 83-100 (before cooling kicks off)
I have reset the ecu, but have no idea...
I'm off to Brands on Sunday to watch the World Touring car Champinship, and I'm going on the bike to avoid the ques. Leaving Richmond London at about 8am. Anyone else going that wants to race off and leave me in thier smoke? :rockon:
I was shocked at some of the replies by WLY employee's. Since then the (clearly under the cosh) mechanic has come on and spoken some sense, and the manager (who is undoubtedly being restrained judging by how hes has treated some people) but I think the damage is done.
I'll be avoiding them.
