  1. Hmmm ok. Would you expect it to be to tight or loose? I've had the bike since new - End of March. Just had my first service as well. Not entirely certain how to check my tension, but I may speak to the dealer and get it checked.

  2. Hi,

    Seem to have an issue with NEUTRAL. Whenever I am in first and go to second, 7 times out of 10 it keeps going to neutral. This doesn't tend to happen if revs are high. Not sure why this is happening, as I fully engage the clutch and knock the gear lever FULLY up.

    On the flip side, I struggle to put her into neutral when the bike is stopped.

    Any ideas?

  3. This is a bit unique, so thought I would ask here as I can't seem to find anything online.

    Question - If I sell my car, can I keep my 12 years CAR NCB?

    BACKGROUND:- Currently I have 12 years CAR NCB, and recently I purchased a Motorbike - to save money on fuel. My partner who lives with me has a ford fiesta. Thinking about selling my car and getting insured on her's.

    So, if I sell my car, and I get insured onto her fiesta, can I therefore keep my CARS NCB?

    Look forward to your answers

  4. Cheers Guys. I don't understand though - can I actually move the gear lever up a level to allow bigger space? If so, shouldn't I get Yamaha to do this, as the bike is new and under warranty.

  5. Hi,

    I got free gloves thrown in with the deal on my bike. They seem ok, but I am suffering from numb fingers in the morning - espcially the 2nd and 3rd finger on the right hand.

    Would investing in a decent pair of gloves prevent this, or could I be holding the handlebar grips incorrectly?

    Sorry if this seems obvious, just wondering.

  6. The boots I now have are great, only problem is, I seem to have issues trying to change up the gears. As they are quite large it's difficult to get my foot under the gear lever to push up. Any ideas, or does anyone else have that issue?

  7. Sorry to hear your bike got stolen. What lock did you have, as I have a wall anchor also. Also the heated grips, do they use alot of battery power, as I have a ybr 125 with a small battery so not sure wether it would be wise.

    How did you know it was youths? Did you see em? If you did, I probably would have been tempted to chase after them - mind you, you don't know what they might be carrying these days I guess.

  8. Ordered a pair of boots of the internet and they don't fit :-( They are UK size 8 and I can't get them done up around me legs. It's now the seconds pair I have tried :-(

    I have no idea either if I have wide feet - 9.5cm width so quite confused where to go next.

    Not looking for anything expensive, just want something under £100, that I can use for commuting and walking around the shops etc.

    Help

  9. Looking at replacing several bulbs from hallogen to LED. Not looking at replacing arms etc, just the bulb.

    I cannot find anywhere that explains what bulbs I need for the following;-

    - Headlamp - hign and dipped

    - Indicators

    - Rear stop light

    Cheers.

    Steve.

  10. I use both Frank Thomas and Halvarssons kit, Weisse and Hein Gericke gloves, Caberg lids, 1982 British Army issue boots (BCH mkII).

    Look for end-of-season sales, or early year sales of last season's kit. I got 2 jackets, brand new fully armoured, for £30 each. That's almost £400 worth for 15% of the original sale price!!

    Out of interest, where did you get it from? I can't seem to find a single bargin online anywhere?

  11. Thank you guys. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all. I don't seem to receive notifcations once someone has responded - plus it's been my birthday today.

    Thank you for the all advise - much appreciated.
