Thank you.
Besides - I can't really let Garry have all the fun, i'd missed out on the karting nights and the huge meringues at - whereever it was. It just wouldn't be the same without you guys (and gals)

Course you're welcome And on a rather nice bike, too. The F's miles better than the N...

But I'll leave you with these 3 words: breaking frame welds... There's one weld on the right hand side near the front, by where the crash bungs are, that has really crap penetration on some bikes- I was on the Er6 forum for a while making fun of them Kawasaki France have issued a service notice for it, but not in the UK apparently- there's no recall but they were instructed to check the weld on each service, and to honour any warranty claims. It seems like some crash bungs fit right on that point as well, people are recommending R&G if I recall correctly. So I'd watch that one Not common enough to worry about though, just one to watch.

If you find it tall, then there's a nice fix, you can't use dogbones but Penske do a short shock- it's not cheap, but it improves the ride quality as well as lowering the rear.

It's not a bad forum, very US led and utterly filled with cretins, but still good fun.

Thanx Northy - still owe you that hug!!

the site i'm on it this

They don't seem too bad but seems to be lot from down south. WE're trying to get a poll of where everyone is. Don't think there will be many rideouts north of the border

bikers oracle , i been there u know.

i think it's run by the VFR owners group, everything else has just slowly spread from that part, so all the good crack is at VFR.

Sounds about right
By the way love the bike if thats how it is now

Snapping frames on the ER-6?

Ooops!

Would I consider one? Hmmm.

Would have to be cheap. But......No....I would go for the Bandit.

Checked out the frame "issue" and doesn't look a big deal. Pretty isolated and easy to avoid if you have the dealer (decent) check the frame tolerances before you pick up the bike.

Cheers for the warning.

Garry
