Evotech charge a fortune for this and I'm going to have to disagree. I have used quite a bit of their stuff over the years . . . nicely made but rarely fits properly. Let's face it, it wouldn't cost any more to manufacture parts which fit as opposed to parts that dont and leave a gap between the seat and the light unit and then . . . there's the screws that are too long. I mean jeez . . they are charging a bomb and they just can't get it right. Very irritating if you've parted with the dosh. The last two accessories I had, I sent back for a refund - at least they got that right. I ordered their rad guard which only fits if you have the stainless radiator guards as on your bike . . if the bike has the black plastic radiator cowls, the guard doesn't fit. They have been told countless times and yet they still sell the radiator guard as suitable for all versions of the R1250r . . . . It isn't!!!

Appreciate your perspective and thanks for commenting. I experienced first-hand the rad guard not fitting the 'standard' black plastic trim R1250R and yes, they need to correct this. Also agreed regarding incorrect screws like I experienced here. That said, on balance, I find their products well-made and well-priced. Not perfect in some cases though, I agree with you there.

Hi Mike, I have just ordered a new Arrow Exhaust. A mate just told me the BMW exhaust (Akrapovic) had the Catalytic converter in it and that the bike will need the ecu to be re mapped? In the past I’m sure other bike’s I’ve had, have remapped them selves. Great if you have any information on this. Thanks Michael
@LiquidAudio 11 күн бұрын
Hi Mike, there is so much misinformation out there about exhausts, re-mapping, etc. You should ideally see what Arrow recommends or speak to a tuner. Long story short, the cat is in the section under the bike, not the slip-on. The new exhaust is less restrictive though and whilst the closed-loop operation (steady-state, part throttle) will 'adjust', a bike's ECU does not remap itself. Ideally, a re-map will extract best performance, though I've not done this and my bike runs well.
@MichaelCurrie-o3o 11 күн бұрын
Thanks Mike, I just looked and yes, I see the catalytic converter is seperate. I will just fit it once it arrives and see how it goes. Did yours come with the Akrapovic or the chrome BMW one?

@@MichaelCurrie-o3o Absolute pleasure, yeah I think you’ll find it runs perfectly without any further work. Mine came with the chrome BMW one, I ordered it that way because I didn’t like the look of the Akra can and knew I’d be fitting something.

Obviously caught mine way earlier than this fortunately. I was able to just wire brush the paint and rust off and get it back to clean steel (Tank off bike and empty). Masked it out and repainted it with engine enamel as it has a fair resistance to fuel etc. Took me about 2 hours, with a bit of 1.2 mm Mig wire, to get the overflow tube cleaned out, that was probably the worst bit but is the cause of the issue to start so needs to be done. While it was apart, I took out the (not working, fancy that) fuel sender and managed to pick the end of it apart (couple of hours with a Dremel tool and a magnifying glass) and resolder the wire to ribbon connections (very finicky job, not for the faint hearted). I now have a rust free fuel tank and most importantly, a working fuel gauge (we will see how long it lasts).

I have an old but fresh Marantz 63se, it gets out like 5mm but then gets stuck and when u help it a bit it can slowly get out. I cleaned the tray and slides. On the way back it goes in perfectly but again the last cm it gets stuck somewhere. Very hard to see even if it’s open but ah, don’t wanna pay like 50-100 for it. I mean belt is okay and wheels too but cant figure out where the problem is and I know it’s just something minor. Any ideas?

Hello. Me again from the UK. I started having some issues with my one and wanted your opinion please? .. I've got an intermittent issue with mine where I have to press the start button a few times to get it going.. and others where it would play normally up until about the last third of the LP and then the arm would pick up and return to resting position. If I tried to manually move the the arm to same area on the LP, the needle doesn't quite touch the record and the arm starts to stray away to the centre and then stop and return to resting. Any ideas? I took it to get it serviced and the guy thinks it's the logic board? Have you come across the same? Many thanks for any help in advance.

Hi, sounds like a possible combination of electronic and mechanical issues to me. I've seen all sorts of faults like these but it's tricky without the deck here in front of me. It needs to go to someone who can diagnose and fix it. Hopefully there is someone else you can take it to because getting the right help is always the key with complex electronic equipment.

Not sure if you'll see this comment as it's an older video. Fellow Aussie here although I'm in Melbourne. Just looking for some advice on a Kenwood CD player as you seem to be quite knowledgeable about these things. Purchased as a component system tuner/amp, tape deck and cd player etc back in 1995. CD Player Model is Kenwood dp-r896 to be exact. The CD player works but starts skipping on some tracks. I have also found that it doesn't seem to play on all disc slots. It's a 5 slot unit. Information I have found online suggest a re-lubrication of the drive mechanisms. Just wanting to see if you may have come across similar faults in the past. It did get pretty heavy use in the first 10 years or so. Not so much now. If I do use it now most of the time I just hook up a laptop to the aux input and play music through KZbin. I would like to keep it going. Quite attached to these older units as you are. Thanks for any assistance.
@LiquidAudio Ай бұрын
Hi Lawrence, yes, I see this almost every day with CD players I work on. My standard advice would be to have the player professionally serviced, we could do that for you if you lived in Perth for example. Some laser wear is to be expected at this age too and must be considered.

@@LiquidAudio Thanks for the quick response. I'll have a further look at it. I'm pretty confident with electronics and have done quite a few repairs in the past. This was the field I was originally going to enter after I last school. Did a university diploma on the subject at RMIT but priorities changed and I ended up in a different field of work. Still maintained an interest in electronics in the years since. Just hoping to fix it as it sort of holds some sentimental value.

Its a tank breather hole not a drain hole. if you clog it up the bike will cut out after 5 mins or so due to pressure drop in tank causing a vaccum effect.

I have a Pioner CT-S820S which appears to have the same (or almost the same) cassette mechanism as the CT-A9X. I have to change the belts and therefore remove the cassette mechanism. I have removed the outer front of the cabinet, but not the inner one. All screws that hold the mechanism have been removed so the mechanism is completely loose. But still I can't get it out of the cabinet. It seems that two circuit boards behind the front are in the way of me being able to get the mechanism released as shown in your video. Is there a trick to getting the mechanism out of the case - I'm close to giving up.

Glad I found your video, I have just fitted the Tail tidy and radiator guard to my recently purchased RS, and I had the exact same concern about the gap at the back. I initially thought it was because I also changed the Top box mount for just the grab handles, and maybe there was a difference in the fitting, but I couldn't see how because the gaps for the grab handles and top box mount are the same. I have also been pondering if I did something wrong, scratching my head and trying to figure out what it may be. So, I looked over the internet and found your video. Well, it's a relief knowing I didn't do anything wrong, and it confirms that I will just have to live with it. The other thing I had to lose was the number plate border/frame, or else the plate would only fit if I was going to drill more holes in the plate, but then it would start to look ugly. Looks like you may have done the same. Thanks for the Video

Once upon a time defamation could exist for something that is true but damages the reputation of another. The defence had to be that it was in the public interest. In the Bruce Lehrman case the defamation was dismissed solely on the basis that the judge thought that it might have been true "on the balance of probabilities". Which of these two is the correct interpretation? If the Lehrman standard was adhered to then any evidence that the review was true would become the end of the action. If the previous standard was adhered to then you would have to show that the knowledge was vital to consumers more generally.
