Thanks for vid, can always learn. I had similar bikes to you, ZRX1100/1200's, ZZR12, ZZR6, ZX9R's. My 'New' YZF600 project had me stumped. Clicking Starter solenoid and Starter not turning engine. Replaced both, still same. Long story short, i had previously used instant gasket on Starter gear cover as no new gasket. I EVENTUALLY found the inner gear boss of the cover was crushing one of the starter gears, preventing it from turning. Home made cardboard gasket, and gear has clearance and back to normal. 1x millimeter made all the difference.

Went to look at a bike last week at superbike factory Donnington. Found a nice looking honda to which i enquired about £4890 Which was a little steep for the age and mileage but looked a tidy bike so i wanted to go ahead. After being talked into applying for finance for the bike the agreement come back accepted at extortionate rates! Baring in mind im in the good band on expirian credit report. So i decided (which i was going to initially do) buy the bike cash. To which i got told that the price displayed isn't actually the real price and that there was an administration fee and change of documentation fee. I ran out that place!!! Beware they want you to purchase through credit/hp as thats where they make the most profits.

an absolute nono, no doubt! However: maybe next time after you have passed, move to the left on your lane and keep your speed in order to enable a following rider to get back in lane. Before you passed you must have seen this guy in the mirror, so giving him room to get back in would have been courteous
@mcycle24Ай бұрын
@@eberhardh I was on a ZZR1200 and I did check my mirrors after the overtake and noticed my bike was much faster accelerating and had opened up a large gap on the Goldwing so there was plenty of room, Goldwing was trying to race a Ducati sports bike who did drop in behind me and waited for a safer place to overtake. I slowed down a bit because I didn’t want to exceed the speed limits of the road.

Bike is gorgeous. I have to agree, the slightly older 1990's early 200'0's bikes were the golden epoch before everything became digitalised. I don't think Ive ever owned a full injected bike, cant say if they are soulless, but I can believe its true.

Some friendly advice to everyone. If you are a DIY type who tinkers on their Jap bikes, get yourselves some JIS screw drivers. (Japanese Industry Standard) screw drivers are a must, especially when doing carby work so you don't ruin the screws. The screws are made for JIS screw drivers for best mechanical fit and purchase of the screw itself.
