HAHA Jammy mate you'll like this! I always park my car nose first in the driveway, but last night I reversed in to unload some shopping. This morning I hopped in the car to go to work and out of routine put it in reverse and bumped straight into the bike luckily no damage I can see lets hope it dont fall apart on the next ride!
Mate asked me to do an oil and filter change on his R6 while I was doing mine (we share a garage ). I didn't know it was a reverse thread sump plug......... cracked sump, oh feck.
Got a second hand one off eBay for £15, gasket from local yam parts place and got it all sorted before he needed the bike.

That's not pleb because my bike is fine.
Just pushed the bike about a mile and a half in full gear.
Moral of the story .... When the Orange light comes on stuff like balancing throttle bodies and firing it up see how it sounds with the baffles out and firing it up to dry it out after washing it will use up petrol at an alarming rate!
Nearly a mega-pleb feature as I managed to get the peg wedged in the top of my boot while I was crossing the road with it and almost dropped it which would not have been quite as dramatic had I fitted the crash bungs last week instead of putting them back on the bench in the garage!

Good moment of plebness Mark. Glad you're home safe though! Good work out! :D
@Ad - Poor maintenance can also qualify as pleb is my book!
Was out on a good road today, saw a slight 'dip' in the road ahead. I was doing NSL, or there abouts, turns out the 'dip' was more of a minor humpback bridge. Needless to say there was some air involved and some clenching. good fun afterwards :lol:

Probably the most recent-ish was getting the peg hangers for the raptor (theyre cast items) powder coated and deciding that the pin that holds the peg to the hanger is now a bit tighter so I'd use a hammer to tap it through the holes resulting in part of the hanger snapping off!
Today when i was out over taking some cars, as i started to lean and make way back across to the left hand side of the road i got major handle bar chatter/wobble. It was a bit disconcerting as i was doing about 100kph.
When i pulled up to the next petrol station and filled up, i checked the bike over and then did the tyre pressures. The front was down to 26psi :eek: Bear in mind i checked them before i left this morning. Currently keeping an eye on it, see if i have a slow puncture :(
This is pretty bad... ordered a new exhaust for the sv (old one is ****ed) and i managed to order the 2003+ FI fit can instead of the carbed one. God i hope the nice guys at simmi let me exchange it :/

Good plebness there. I suppose I can confess to plebbing out a bit last weekend with Gav, Ad and Nathan. Was a little bit too confident with the new bike's power. Followed Gav and Ad around a van and came face to face with a BMW and only a small gap remaining. Made it, but it was close. :)

I'd slowed down after passing the van because I was too busy looking in my wing mirror trying to see keating die to open up a decent size gap for him to pull into.

Moved here at Jammy's request!
Well what a wonderful afternoon, came home from work, wife informs me my new rear brake pads have arrived, went outside looked up, "yeah I've got time to do this" (thought I'd do it in the driveway as my garage is a couple of streets away),
So removed caliper and old pads, removed top from reservoir to push pistons back in.........would they budge?......... would they hell!
Seals were knackered, so rang around to find some, popped out...got home....oh dear weather closing in, so hastily repaired caliper in the kitchen (the wife is still not happy with that),
Went back outside to fit and bleed.........It's feckin rainin'........yeah thats right top not on the reservoir......now full of water.....feck!.....oh well nothing for it, retreat to dining room for cigarette.......rain stops.......I dash outside drain the system, flush it through to remove all water..........
Re-fitted the caliper with shiny new pads......begin bleeding.......the heavens open......."bugger"........thinking will be done in minutes few so carry on regardless..........5mins brakes are still spongy.......another 5mins and a sense of humour failure later air bubble finally disloged, brakes good to go.....but alas....on the Ace you have to remove right rear plastics to get to the reservoir..........
So now the Ace is in one piece with new rear pads and I'm bloody drenched...what makes it worse is the rain stopped and the sun came out the second I finished........

Long one ...
So I've been having this issue with my brakes for feckin ages! Symptoms: pull lever, it judders and bites far too early and then suddenly pulls in, sending me over the handle bars onto the road and certain death.
Initial thoughts were seized pistons or similar, but after noticing some crash damage, I started to suspect some sort of wheel or brake disc warping. When I put the bike up on the front paddock stand and span the wheel, the rim itself noticeably wobbled. I did some measurements and found out the wheel wobble was causing the left front disc to wobble out by about 1-2mm. Looking at the Haynes, it said 0.3mm is the max amount of allowable play.
Wasn't sure if it was a warped disc, spindle or wheel, so in the end Laurie was kind enough to lend me his gixxer wheel, spindle and discs. I spent a good evening trying different combinations of wheels, discs and spindles, measuring the amount of disc movement and trying to find the culprit. All the figures suggested Laurie's setup was good and mine was bad, but I couldn't narrow down exactly what was at fault.
Since my spindle was a bit fecked where the previous owner(s) had been going at it with mole grips, I decided I'd replace that. Managed to get a new one for £30 delivered. But I knew that wouldn't fix the problem as Laurie's good spindle gave me the same issues, so I bit the bullet and ordered a replacement wheel. The best deal I could get was on a silver srad wheel for £60 delivered. Ordered that and still waiting for it.
I also emailed various companies about powder coating cos I wasn't going to ride around on one orange and one silver wheel. Also, when I thought the brakes were at fault and it was seized pistons, I ordered a calliper rebuild kit (£35) and also picked up some new Castrol brake fluid and a bleed kit (£15).
Today I resolved to make the ride out on Sunday I would have to use Laurie's wheel until I'd sorted the issue out. Got permission from the big man and put his setup back on. With it on the bike I squeezed the lever a few times to see how it felt and had the same horrible sticking problem. Then it dawned on me, like a **** ... if it's sticking while the wheel isn't turning it is NOTHING TO DO with warped discs. It has to be callipers or master cylinder or something!
Came inside, made post about it not being the wheel and then Nathan offered to pop round. Ok, gonna start fresh looking at the brakes instead of the wheel now, so it'd help to have a second pair of eyes.
Anyway, to reduce the mammoth length of this story we started looking at the lever and decided we should take that off first. Did that and it was dirty. Nathan suggested giving it a good clean as that might be responsible for it sticking. Went inside, washed it with fairy liquid, WD40ed it, had a fag, refit it and now it works!! So all it was was some dirty in the lever mechanism.
Time spent investigating: 6 - 8 hours including 1.5 hrs driving to and from Laurie's house, which I'll have to do again to return the wheel!
Money spent on parts: Approx £140
Final fix time: 10 minutes
Final fix cost: 1p of Fairy liquid, 3p of WD40, 0.1p of Hot water
I'd say that's a bit of a pleb.

If Brock suggested to me to do the pencil test I would suspect he was talking about an entirely different type of test, related to my bet losing antics at AR.

Hahahahahahaha nice one, glad you're all sorted now though.
Reminds me of when I had my 1st SV, I used to travel from godalming to Woking and back every day. One day the back end felt terrible so I spent the next couple of days adjusting the preload, checking the chain, tyre etc etc etc. eventually found the problem...
The nut was missing off the rear wheel spindle, no idea where it had gone as the chain hadn't been adjusted for a couple of weeks and I always torqued it up properly.

Posting on behalf of Jammy.....Not mechanical plebtitude this time but bike related ....
Arrive at Loomies on a sunny Sunday morning. Lots of bikers with quite a wait for bacon butties etc. Jammy orders a bap but puts his hand up when waitress walks past with a fully plated breakfast.

So Jammy says "I don't like it that I'm using more fuel than you guys, coz I've always got my throttle pinned right open" to which in unison we reply "a sv doing 90mph uses the same amount of fuel restricted or not!"
Also on the way back to the campsite Saturday we stopped for fuel, Jammy didn't bother to fill up, about 10 miles later we had to stop for him to refuel, when asked why he had not fuelled earlier he said "I thought I would have enough" to which I said "why is that? Did you do less miles than the rest of us?"

Happened last weekend. I down shifted once to acclerate from a 40 to a NSL overtaking a car. Got up to 60 and went to upshift back to a cruise, (Revs right up by this point). For some reason i got fuddled and my left foot thought it was back in the cage (which i had driven for the first time in 4 months that morning), downshifted again. er.. oops. nearly locked the reaer wheel completely but some how saved it (pure luck). Needed a change of pants after that. Cage behind must have gotten a surprise too.

Lots of good pleb action there gents, especially Laurie, the ultimate engine destroying pleb.
Mine is a slightly awkward pleb. I have a guy coming round to view in the SV any time in the next hour. Just went out to put the seat back on (it's been off so I can trickle charge the battery now and then), only to find the battery is completely flat. It's on the optimate now but there isn't enough juice to start it. I wonder if he'll be understanding or just walk away.

I had occasion to reprimand a pleb mate who had a flat battery on his blade prior to a ride-out and stuck it on the trickle charger. Next to the trickle charger he had a proper battery charger that would chuck some serious amps into it and have it turning the bike over within about 20 minutes and not the 3-4 hours the trickle charger would require.
When I got there we switched chargers, had a cup of tea and then it had enough to fire it up.

There is a setting on my .... optimate .... which says car or bike. I've put it on car. Let's hope nothing explodes.
Went out for food with a female freind (no, not what you're thinking) had food, came out and the car wouldnt start....was out of petrol.
Petrol station was literally 40 metres away across a road so pushing wasnt an option. They refused to fill up a plastic bottle i had but by extreme luck some random guy came to my rescue and gave me a jerry can he had tucked away in his boot somewhere. After realising i'd need a hose attachment or some sort of funnel (as trying to tip it in straight from the can meant covering my wheel in petrol.. oopsie) Freind went and found a bottle - A bit of tipping and pouring later, engine fired up... drove across the road and voila' I filled up with petrol...
Was actually quite a fun night though*:smt040

Welldone Jambobaggins! One question though: that's pretty mega to have petrol when you stop, then have none the next time you return. You sure you don't have a petrol leak, or perhaps Dan syphoned it out?
My pleb:
When delivering the SV, I went to overtake a car on a twisty B road. I spied the Royal Mail van parked on the verge on the other side, but he clearly didn't spy me. Nor did he indicate as he decided to pull off the verge. I squeezed myself through a gap a tad tighter than I would like it to have been rather than bottling it and trying to somehow brake and give up.
You may not think this is really a pleb, but considering it was a Royal Mail van, I should've really seen it coming. But I have it on the camera anyway, so will take a look later and feature it on the vlog.l

Think it has something to do with the pressure in the lines and the petrol settling, bit like when you close off the end of a straw and liquid stays suspended in it.
yeah, what spank said. I'm not used to the reserve light and how long ive got left. Think i was very very low when i pulled up and when left it couldn't fire back up. Definitely no leaks. The car would fire but would die after a few seconds through petrol starvation. So i wasnt COMPLETELY out

I'd offer my sympathy but you're a Millwall fan so instead you get my laughter supported by a pointed finger.

Next time jammy try opening the petrol cap and closing it again.
I believe some of us had this discussion on a ride out a few weeks ago.
40 metres??? Easy to push a car that far! Showing off strength, man thinking and taking control of the situation would have got you laid.
