  1. Has anyone fitted one of these to a V11? Is there an alternative to the chrome nut we have? The RAM mount itself fits inside a 12 to 38 mm diameter stem but the chrome nut has only a 8 mm hex hole. I am thinking along the lines of having to attach another nut to the top of the chrome nut then drilling out the hex to accommodate the base of the mount. Another possibility would be to superglue the base of the mount assembly together then push it down the down the stem. Refitting the chrome nut then screwing the mount together.  I am hoping to mount an action camera at some stage.

  2. Cliff,

    My steering damper has been leaking for a long while now, to the point that it's function is basically ornamental. If you have not felt the need for one in the time you have owned your bike I would say that a steering damper is not required.

  3. DSCF3155.JPGMarty, thanks for the offer of your plate but hopefully mine is fixable. Here is the crack in my selector plate. What I shall attempt to do is a repair by using a Dremel type tool to open up the crack and then a JB Weld product something like their SteelStik to fill the crack.The plate's top edge is not cracked. Suggestions as to whether I am on the right track or not would be greatly appreciated. What prompted me to remove the plate was a leak for the second time after fitting a new improved selector spring.I used Cyberbond 7518 but this never set probably due to the surfaces not being cleaned properly. I wiped them but didn't use any degreaser solution to remove traces of oil on them. Either that or the sealer was past it used by date, I am  not really sure at all what went wrong.

  5. antmanbee have you got to the bottom of your problem yet? I had a similar problem when I refitted my tank recently, fuel pump made all the right sounds, just wouldn't start. I cycled the kill switch a few times every thing sounded good to go it just wouldn't fire at all. Given the fact the bike had always been a good starter even after long periods of not being used this was puzzling. I checked for spark using a spare plug, no problem there. After this I disconnected the fuel return line as recommended by MartyNZ then the obvious was plain to see, I simply had not opened the tap. Yeah I know.....

    Off hand I think you will drain your sump f you loosen the line. Next oil change might be the best time to do some more exploring, from memory there is an o-ring in there, given the mileage you have racked up it may have just given up the ghost.

  7. Thanks Marty,

    I must have been trying too hard last time, all it needed was a little movement of one of the selectors and now the wheel spins freely. I need to pick up a couple of replacement circlips tomorrow and we are away laughing.

  8. I need a bit of help on how to select neutral with the gearbox selector plate removed. I changed out gearbox selector spring but first time things did not go back properly for me. I could only select first to third gear so back in I went. However I didn't get neutral selected properly before removing the selector plate and now I cannot get the plate reinstalled. Initially even using the clutch I could not move the bike but now I have properly selected a gear, which one I don't know. Whats the best way to find neutral so I can zip it up again?

  9. I had issues as well accessing the forum. I had a bookmark set up but this stopped working. For some strange reason for me a Google search prompted the same error message as I encountered with my bookmark. Once I changed search engine to one that was not Google it bought me straight here. This is the error message I was encountering prior to changing search engines
