Re: Starting issue
Cheers guys I’ll leave them off. If one isn’t working I suppose they are pointless anyway.

Re: Exhaust popping shifting down
I can’t get the air box off as the clamp holding the top throttle body tube doesn’t have a screw accessible from the left or right. Can’t see a way of getting to it. Changed my spark plugs and...

Re: Exhaust popping shifting down
I had the garage do the riser kit so I don’t know unfortunately. Was 90 quid and saved me the hassle, wish I’d done it myself now as one of my heated grips doesn’t work and I’ve no steering lock

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Does it work plugged in? Might just be the battery. You can pick them up for £20 - £25. If it's the battery it generally doesn't work plugged in. You can test it by plugging it in with no battery in...

Re: lever guard suggestions
I'm leaning towards a proper lever guard over hand guards, just for peace of mind really. Can't think of anything worse than being turned away over it, even if i have email as proof.

Re: lever guard suggestions
They just replied and said said "Hi Damian, hand guards are fine. Thanks". They didn't mention materials they are made of. Seems as long as there is something there its ok

I'm still looking. I don't think i'd get away with hand guards RiffRaff. Although they would serve the same purpose. I have just emailed them to ask if standard hand guards are sufficient or if i...

Does anyone have any recommendations for lever guards on Renthal low bars? You need them now on track days. I don't want to spend much money as they will only get used once or twice a year, if ever...

Re: Bib's SV Bike bits bonanza
The indicator has come off the bracket. There’s a little bush it located in which is short, was tempted to gorilla glue it back in as I think the rubber has expanded a bit. But for the price of new...

Re: 2021 track days?
The brake guards are cheap and easy to install, the one I’ve seen goes in like a bar end weight. MSV make you have them, which is a lot of the tracks, not sure about no limits
