hi has anyone had this problem before? it nearly fell off last night
-
well i took off the rear spring bottom link paltes.
I had it on my paddock stand with the rear wheel off and cleaned everything up and polished most of the alluminum parts.
When i put it all back together it seems when i put it on the side stand the bike is still almost upright and in danger of falling over the other way.
Does any one know ehy this is?
and how i can sort it i would like it to lean a heck of a lot more tbh.
all help would be great as i cant take it out as i cant leave it if we stop off anywhere.
thanks in advance

im not familiar with that particular bike so i cant comment on how easy it will be to change them, i dont think it is a common problem but its not unheard of

could be wear in the selector forks? :s
thanks for you reply is this a common fault i can get the selector fork easy enough how hard is it to fit

Anyone:)

Please could anyone shed a light on this for me
when riding my bike changing from 1st to 2nd some times it wont go straight threw neutral it will drop in.
I have to let the travel in the peg go to where it sits normally and then lift it again to gain second.
it feels like a little of resistance.
any suggestions would be great

What you should always remember (and this is what your Dads worrying about) is that it does not matter how good a rider you are it is "them and us".
Were ever you ride a bike, in what ever part of the world riders are looked at as nusiances and targets. The faster you go ...... the more it hurts. Your Dads only moaning because he cares. He wants you to be safe and to come home at night.
Everything that everyone has said to you above is honesty. A 250 or 600 cc is plenty. I had a KH250 at 17 and enjoyed it just as much as any other bike I ever owned.
Start small....go big in time. Build up and have a goal. If you jump to an R1 then eventually when you want a change your stuck. Get as much training as you can and try to get your dad involved as much as possible.
Biking is not about speed. Its about enjoying it and being safe whilst enjoying it. I lost my best mate to the power of an R1 with a broken neck. He left a wife and a young daughter.
There is a lot of common sense spoken on this thread so please listen as its meant to help you stay alive.
well said

im 24 i passed my test in march 09. I have had a 125cc off road dirt bike since the age of 15 so ive rode a bike for a small while, me and the old man just set out cones and make shift roads and done some training together basicly a mini cbt to make sure i was safe and experience enough to ride. Also it gets him involved which will give him and insight.
Still now i am learning to take corners. slow control is still quite tricky start low then as experience grows so can the bike
i now own an r6 and is plenty for the next few years hope this helps
Get your dad on board with you training
