monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's surprising the difference a new chain can make. Everything becomes far smoother and quieter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Dam straight, Mines completely worn and slapping all over the place, Makes the bike jerk alot more aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 My old chain and sprockets on my trials bike were so worn out that the teeth started cracking and snapping off the rear sprocket. When I replaced them it seemed like it was making twice as much power! Never realised how much power a worn chain and sprockets can sap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Had some financial issues so had to sell the Fazer, bit of a downgrade but still makes me smile when it gets going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Mmm zzr600E. That's what I'm looking for at the mo. What did you get that for? if you don't mind me asking? Ben £850. But it's a Cat D. It was dropped by the previous owner so had fairing damage. Also seems to be an import, as there is no hazard light switch and when I'm riding at night I can see MPH and KPH at the same time. Now that I'm used to it, it's proper fun on the B roads.

forteh Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Dug the ccm out of the shed today, washed her down, got most of it shiny ish again (love the anodising on excel rims!) She fired up and ran sweet as a nut second kick Need to rebuild the capacitor pack tomorrow at work, give her a good service and find a friendly local mot place who doesn't mind 150dB exhausts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials owns Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Anyone on here got a YZF R125? Mate from school got one, Had it for ages thrashing it around, Seems like a good little bike. Abit pricey mind? My 125 had the yamaha xt 125 engine in, Seemed pretty bomb proof!

forteh Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Sorted my niggling electrical problem, traced it down to a bad earth on the rectifier, I'm one step closer to getting back on the road! Phoned up Carol Nash to sort out insurance and found out that because I had let the policy lapse for typo long I've lost my accrued no claims, all 11 years of it The renewal with all mods declared comes in at 360 quid so not the end of the world, annoyed to have lost it though; used to be that the ncb started decreasing after 2 years lapse, now it's wiped completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Ouch, that's a bit of a bitch! I was bummed enough when I lost my 2 years ncb after my accident . Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Decided to get another quote for insuring the supermoto so rang up mce, quoted me 180 quid tpft using zero ncb so I can't really complain! Still gutted about losing 11 years but for 15 quid a month to insure a vehicle more mental than 99% of things on the road it's not too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials owns Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 RightHo then chaps, er6 is overheating / baking its coolant pretty quick, Its ok when your on the move (however i feel its running abit hot) but as soon as i ride slow & stop start traffic, My Engine gets sssooo hot, I have started getting my coolant heat light on, On several occasions its pissed out the overflow pipe when i stop. Any ideas? Going to test the thermostat on the weekend, Iv read that the radiator caps can cause this on the er6's, but there £30 a time and not 100% its that.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Have you checked that the fan is kicking in? That would be my first port of call I think- check connections and make sure it's actually kicking in when the engine's hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials owns Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Not yet, since ive had the bike i cant even hear if the fan has kicked in or not, could you hear yours on the er6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Not since changing the end can! I also tend to switch off almost immediately after stopping so never actually check! If the bike was overheating though I'd check that (and also the fuse for the fan as well, just in case). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
