  1. Yep. Not sure when it became legal but I've done it for many years! Most drivers are good and there are some very good ones who'll move over to give you more room, but you do get the odd ----head that'll try and block you! The commute would be a nightmare without it especially when it's hot! Cheers
  2. Ha ha We call them neck socks down here. Cheers
  3. Doh...just realised you checked the light! Sorry back to the normal programme. Cheers
  4. The brake light can be finicky without it being relay related too! I had a loose connection in the light assembly early on which made the light intermittent... Just saying. Cheers
  5. Ha ha, wonder what a greenie with 102.000 kays on her might be worth these days....? Probably bugger all, but priceless to me all the same! Cheers
  6. Mate # 1 ( Start ) is closest to the tank # 5 ( Fuel ) furthest from it. Cheers Ps these two NEED to be 5 pin relays but most of us put 5 pin ones in all spots!
  7. I agree probably relays... Mine has had this before I checked /cleaned them esp #1 and # 5 and blew out any dust etc from the relay base which sorted it. By the way toggling the kill switch can help but really a stop gap measure. Cheers
  8. Yeah, I reckon you're right mate. I also think it's a combination of things that finally sorts it out! Cheers Ps getting rid of the crap standard tensioner was definitely a factor and the correct gap on the phase (?) sensor plus ......ha ha
  9. Exactly where mine went too! Cheers
  10. Thanks fellas. Yeah, I thought the 160/60 looked ok on the rim too! Ha ha I'm not about to go dragging my arse down the road to find out how far to lean to get rid of the strips and will just keep on doing and enjoying what I'm doing! Cheers Ps as for scrubbing the edges in case you go in a little hot sometime.... Not sure but after x amount of heat cycles I doubt the edges would be any concern if not scrubbed.... ???
  11. G'day folks. I was flicking through Total Control by Lee Parks recently and came across a section on Traction. There was mention of a bloke on an SV650 who was achieving pretty good lean angles on his standard tyre which on the SV was a 160/60 jobbie on a 4.5 inch rim like our red frames .It then went on to mention that a 160/60 wasn't really designed for a 4.5 inch rim but for a 5 inch rim.In fact by fitting this tyre to a 4.5 inch rim it's pinching it to the point that you can't use the very edges of the tyre unless you crash! I've been running the 160/60 profile on mine for years now and have often wondered why I can't seem to get to the very edges of the tyre! I don't really think about it when I'm riding ( nor care a great deal ) but I also reckon I achieve decent lean angles and have about 15mm of unused tyre at the very edges so in order to sate my curiosity... How's your chicken strips? Cheers Guzzler Ps I'm pretty happy with the 160/60 profile and have no complaints really...just curious.
  12. Wonder when they'll carry a wee SUV on the trailer....or at least a couple of electric mobility scooters so they can run into town!
  13. I've had the chinese Rizoma rip-offs on mine for a few years now! Apart from the adjustability factor as Phil has mentioned they're ok and work for me. I cant remember the price but it was significantly cheaper than the real deal. Cheers
  14. Do let us know mate... Mine was sorted years ago as the bike was serviced by Brad Black and hasn't missed a beat since. Probably will now that I've mentioned it eh! Cheers
  15. Thanks fellas. Yeah, it looks like piggy backing it with something else is the go, to justify the freight. Cheers Guzzler
