Now that i really like

Due to cancelled order  (save me sending it back)

Brand new 110/70/17  Avon road rider

£80 ride in ride out service, or £75 to loose wheel

"located in coastal suffolk"

Pm me for details

This would be the 34 yearold Rossi who when placed on competative bikes still manages to finish in the top percentile of his class at nearly every race, i believe his track record cements him as an ultimate Moto Gp legend.

are the bikes harder to ride ? i would say no but would flip it by saying with all the electronic trickery more technical ability & understanding is now needed, how to make TC work the best for you, how to get LC to suit your style etc

Pirelli Angel Gt, Has more grooving than the Pilot Road to clear water and heats up better with its newly designed carcase

Never been high on my List of Tracks but still have some great memories of the place so a bit of a shame to hear


Housing estate i suspect is its next destination

Keep it in Second EVERYWHERE

set of stainless headers and it will look new again, was a lovely bike my introduction into the wonderful world of zx7r, performed faultlessly on several trackdays until the fork seals let go

Well did a shed load of tests with a technician friends better quality multi meter and it pointed towards the Actual gennie as i thought

Pulled the casing of and found some damage to generator winding tops so have also drained oil and pulled oil strainer from sump for a clean

new gennie windings fitted up and and engine re oiled, all looks good

No nothing else worth a mention since Continental put there prices up, pilot powers are the cheapest of the decent Named brands available at the moment, still a great tyre for road riding

Thanks Emmax will have a read through later

Well ive used a multi to test the rectifier and to be honest came to no obvious conclusion either way, did a no load test on the gennie and it struggled to make 48V ac at 5000rpm, manual says it should be over 55v ac

Tried a voltage drop test & got 00.1 amp so am going to rule out wiring for now

1999 Srad 750 fool injection

Been having a charging problem for a couple of weeks now
New battery fitted so i can rule out a battery fault

At 5000rpm the reading should be 13.5v to 15v across the terminals, im getting 13v occasionally pushing 13.5v (my tester is ancient)

ive checked plug connectors but am unsure how to rule out the rectifier or the genny?

any advice would be apreciated

Watched your FB progress too, was very jealous looked like a great trip

We have a quick rule of thumb at work based on  Michelin advice as 7 years safe use, we don't sell anything over 2 years old

But i think the whole point is there is no legal requirment for tyre age, just condition which doesn't take into account deteriation that you can't see as in the coach crash

QuoteChristopher Anthony
Between 16 and 17 July a coroner's inquest in Woking examining a fatal coach crash last September heard, that the vehicle lost control and left the road following the failure of it NSF tyre – a tyre manufactured 19 years earlier, expert witnesses testified that several of the six tyres fitted to the coach were old and the DOT code showed the failed tyre to be "Abnormally Old" and had potentially been delaminating for months.
The problem was that such deterioration could not have been picked up by visual inspection, the tyre was only partially worn, so had either been kept in storage or used as a spare for a number of years.
Coroner Richard Travis was obviously frustrated that there is no legal mechanism in place to monitor aging; "the real reason this tyre failed do catastrophically is through age" he said; invoking Rule 43 (of the coroner's rules1984) that requires him to draw attention to the Minister for Transport of the dangers caused by "the fact that vehicles. Be they private, commercial or public are legally able to drive on tyres without restriction of age and by reason of age are potentially in a perilous condition.

Just a thought for anybody bying second hand tyres off Ebay, part worn suppliers or maybe your spare wheel in the boot

its easy enough to check there will be a small oblong on one side of any tyre since 1985 with 3>4 numbers in it, the first two number being the week the second two year of manufacture

IE 4802  would be manufactured in the 48th week of 2002

woo hoo look at me being all informative lol
