Will post nearer the time once i know what the plan is.
Cheers for the offer Matt nice one :thumbsup:
Yep might be up for that too as I'll be down south then and i know Falc aint in work :D

Some would say that showing your face is rude.
Not me though!

my face is not something to be laughed at. smpathy, yes, hilarity, no.
Could be a possibility. Will check with Mrs Ape if she can find some one to look after the monkeys for the day. :thumbsup:
Me, Jax and PJ will be there...

I wish I could make it, but The Redhead has to work that day, so we'll definitely be in Aberystwyth (though may have ridden up late Sunday night)
Sounds like a great way of recovering from the Suzuki Owners Club Mopedathon which takes place at Finmere Airfield, Bucks, on the previous Saturday (Unashamed plub there!).
You have pm.

Sounds like an idea.... will have to check on cash flow nearer the date... will be expensive on the petrol side of things! :lol:
Plus I will get lost a few times getting there.. I only own one map book.. and it only covers Wales... :oops: :lol:
VB - it all downhill on the way here mate so that will save a bit of fuel.
We are only about 1 mile from M27 J7 so piece of **** to find - get your **** down ere :wink:

Valleyboy. I'll be going from my house in Yeovil to Liz's and then to Matts on the Monday morning.
I can meet you at Podimore and then you can follow me to Liz's and from there to Matt's if you like ? We can go up the A30 which is more fun that the A303 to get to Liz's in Amesbury.
I wont be hanging around as I want to get my share of the BBQ food. I've seen what this lot are like in the Pub at Poole Quay :lol:
valleyboy
20-04-06, 08:55 PM
Just noticed its on a monday! :lol:
Ive put my standard can back on the bike, so hopefully no stutters anymore... so shouldnt be a problem keeping up ;) :twisted:
will make a decision closer to the day.... :D

My bike has been stuttering quite badly under heavy use of the throttle :twisted: its only done it since Ive had the Remus on it, so in an attempt to problem solve.. I have put the standard can back on.. and will give the bike a good thrashing at somepoint over the weekend.... if the bike stutters... I have major problems... if not, then I know it will need a remap if I put the Remus back on.... :lol:

21-04-06, 03:08 PM
"Under heavy throttle"????
YOU.. Yeah right :lol:
valleyboy
21-04-06, 03:19 PM
Hell, reasons you aint seen me use the throttle to the stops on my bike is it WILL rear up on its back tyre and wheelie in 1st and 2nd.... now, hopefully I can ermmm test this theory of mine out :lol:
_Stretchie_
21-04-06, 03:24 PM
REALLY?? I was being sarcastic mate.. I thought you'd set your idle speed to 13,000 rpm
:lol:
valleyboy
21-04-06, 03:32 PM
Naaahhh... theres plenty more go in the engine on this thing that you lot have seen :twisted: gotta be carefull where/when its used.... as its a wheelie monster when you really dont want it to be... :twisted:
will have to let you take it for a spin eventualy.... *wraps bike up in cotton wool* :lol:

Gutted mate, it must be a bug going around. I'm not feeling too hot on mine either still...
valleyboy
22-04-06, 05:29 AM
Its now a pain in the ass.... cant use full throttle quickly in 1st or 2nd gear out of fear of it stuttering.. will have to pester mechanics sometime in the week if I get the chance to get over there in time! :lol:
Hmm, crisply run in and meeting Barbie...(hope Ken isn't there) I'd be daft not to :lol:

There's a chance I may be able to make this now. Matt, I'm afraid I really won't know until much later in the week. If thats not ok and you need to know sooner, I understand.

Ive turned into a probably not :(
bikes problems are starting to turn serious for me.. so its either use money to fix bike, or spend on petrol... :?

Oh no :cry:
i've turned into a dunno now.
been invited to a corporate box at st. mary's on the sunday and have been informed i've family from oop north will be visiting monday. i'll do my best to slip out for an hour or so to say hi, leave you all wanting more, then do a bunk!
what time does it start? 1.30 (just read it) i'm sure i'll be ok to stay for a bit....
i'm never saying yes to anything again :cry:

24-04-06, 04:11 PM
Ive got an idea what it might be... but again, someone on the Ninja forum has the exact same problem as me, and the mechanics dont know whats causing it :?
If the mechanics were in on the weekend, Id have a chance of making it on monday.. but they dont do weekends, ever... lol
and its getting serious.. I cant go through 10,000 rpm on the bike without it stuttering badly on me.. and its going to cause an accident if I dont sort it shortly... :cry:
What do you reckon it is VB?
valleyboy
24-04-06, 05:45 PM
possibly the throttle boddies being out of balance.... I would usualy attempt to do these myself.. as they were simple to do on the SV.... slightly more involved with this thing... plus I want them to do a few other things at the same time as well... and if after they are done the problem is still around.. Im in trouble.....
the other bloke who has simular problems had his bike dyno'd... its only putting out 70HP :shock: I dont think mine is that bad.. but its getting there.... hopefully can get it fixed... and use ALL the rev range quickly again! :lol:

VB longshot I know but what about having a remap of the fuelling done?? or possibly a dud injector
valleyboy
24-04-06, 07:41 PM
Its back on the standard can now, so theres no way it should need a re-map of the fueling... I'll get the throttles balanced anyway, as they needed doing a few thousand miles ago :oops:
Theres a bloke on the Ninja forum with the exact same problem, except he has a ZX-6R B2.. basicaly same machine give or take a bit or two.. lol
hes going to keep me updated on his problems as well.....
may have changed my mind with regards to this anyway.. Ive been out buzzing the local roundabouts for a laugh, and know exactly where to stay away from in the rev range for trouble free riding now... :lol: sadly, that means changing gear before 10K rpm.. which is roughly about the same power output as an SV at that point... :evil:
Hi there VB,notice your having a few problems with your bike.
If its any help to you if you get real desperate i can take my power commander off my bike and fit it to yours to see if it cures the problem,but its a bit of a strip down job,fuel tank off,rear cowl,seat cover,battery off etc so not a quick job but like i said if you get desperate the offer is here.
VB, Don't know much about the ole throttle boddies but I guess balance is the same as for the od carb setup. One fixed and match the others to suit, if you need a spare ear (as in listening to the intake) give me a shout. Balanced carbs that way a while back.
Forecast is looking good 8)
Me and Jax might well even be there on the bikes... :D

WTF happened to the forecast - when I check last night it said sunny all day :?
Oh well - I never trust a forecast this far in advance :lol:
Worst case scenario is I'll have to get the gazebo up and I will be getting wet whilst barbequeing - wouldn't be the first time :roll:

Eyeball - Matt! I think... were you riding through Hedge End towards Soton just after 8 this morning? I'd just taken cage for service and was sitting in hire cage going back to work... you went past me (and all the traffic - grrr) while I sat in bloody queue! God am glad don't usually have to drive to work!!

Are you stalking me? :lol:

he he he :lol: :lol: yeah, I just love going stalking in Hedge end in my c**p hire car and getting stuck in traffic for 40 minutes :evil: - have to say was v jealous seeing you on the bike. Hey those cans sound awesome!! Have to get me an upgrade from my standard one!!
I am (almost) definitely going to be there. Was hoping to farm the kids out and bring Mrs Ape as well, but doesn't look like that is going to be possible. So I'll probably be coming on my own.
I take it that the BBQ will be on regardless of the natural phenomena known as rain :?:
The BBQ WILL happen regardless of the weather.
You just might all be stood under the gazebo taking the **** out of me getting wet whilst trying to light the bolldy thing :lol:

Got agreed down time from 9-1pm instead of the 11-3pm, had a word with all those involved and we've all got plan for the afternoon, so as long as BT haven't screwed up, I should be finished early with any luck :thumbsup:
I can't be doing all that motorway stuff, but will go as fast as I can on the back roads :twisted: .

Fizz and i will be heading down from Salisbury so if you want to meet up to do that last stretch just let one of us know.
Gonna have to pull out of this one, just got a 'job' come in for tomorrow that might produce more work (that I want to do). :oops: Not likely I'll be finished much before 2:00 :roll:
Just my luck, the forcast is much improved as well. Have a good one :D
I mentioned that I will be going out for hotdogs and burgers tomorrow to my brother, he will now be coming with me. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Weather forcast is showing no rain at the moment. At least in Southampton it is. It's gonna be a wet start for me I think. Going to Foxes diner for breakfast in the morning. Will see all of you that are attending tomorrow. :thumbsup:

Matt, 'fraid it's an expect us if you see us now :cry:
Both stuffed with colds and I crocked myself at the Mopedathon so not in tip top shape.
Hope it goes well, was looking forward to seeing everyone again, and some new faces :-({|=
Its raining here at the min - we are still coming for the BBQ tho.
Banjo - hope you feel better soon mate.
It is a little on the 'moist' side here at the moment, however the forecast is that it WILL dry up around 12 o'clock.
Don't let the weather put you off - I've got towels, hot drinks and a tumble drier if you need it :lol:
EDITED at 9:00
The sun is out - woo hoo!

Matt you and your better half every do get up to Soho on a Friday evening, first coffee's on me.
