Good job bikes aint fitted with a reverse gear Chad, imagine the damage you would do at above walking pace 'Tis a bit of bad luck though, is it a standard peg hanger or full on rearsets? -
Hope it goes well Lee -
Altering the fuel mapping via a power commander is usually very worthwhile, even more so if you have mods - even those as simple as a race filter and a different end can. Remember that the stock fuelling is often geared to comply with emissions requirements rather than making the bike run the best that it can, especially in the mid range and a PC will certainly let you smooth out the delivery. I'd be very surprised if remapping it would add another 25 BHP though, but if it did, at £20 per HP, it would be about the most cost-efficient power gain known to man. -

Good on ya for persevering Did you do a little happy dance and taunt the offending part about how it lost, or is that just me? -

Well done Stu and glad you managed to escape from Swansea -
Morning Steve and welcome to the forum As for pics, you can't post attach them directly to posts, you have to chuck them somewhere like photobucket and link to them. This post by Dave gives you a step-by-step /t118-step-by-step-how-to-post-pics-using-photobucket -
Silverline stuff *is* cheap but then again if it's only for occasional use then I'd give that, or the Clarke one a go. -
do you ???? (with poll )

Just the weight of the bike itself. This adjustment will take into account any tightening expected during normal suspension travel and the manufacturer recommendation is usually right [1]. When the bike is fully over loaded with luggage prior to a long trip, I will check it when compressed just to satisfy myself that it's not too tight, but other than that personal quirk, if you measure the free play correctly and in the right place then all will be good with the world. [1] Unless it's the official Yamaha manual for the 13s R6, which incorrectly says that the rear sprocket nuts should be 100Nm. That's 172 pounds for a new carrier, please -
Have a good ride chaps -
Good luck fella, at least it's 'fixable' -
Sorry mate didn't realise that she was a Bigamist -
Chad, you clearly need a second bike to use as a winter hack -
The conversation at the weekend went: "How long have we been seeing each other?" "8 years" "And how many times have I ever bought you anything for Hallmark Card's profit day?" "None" "So it's reasonable to to assume that this year will be no different then?" "Yes I suppose so" "Good, you can stay". Despite that, I did relent and bought her a dozen red roses [1] [1] Which is only the 2nd time in my life that I have bought flowers for a girl [3]. [2] I expect a good return on my investment though [3] It's OK, the doc gave me stronger head pills today to fix it
