Admin Alex Posted June 8, 2004 Admin Posted June 8, 2004 Well anyone going to go out on their bikes this evening? Once ive had my dinner, and there arnt as many tin box junkies on the road i shall get my little bike out and rip up some tarmac! Going to have to start using the edges of my tyres again, as im starting to ride like a girl! :shock: Its because i havent rid my bike for sooooooooo long so will have to pop my knee cherrys again tonight i think 8)
TarkMalbot Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I would do but my Forks just make a mess of my clothes! And my brakes dont work too well covered in fork oil! :roll:
liquidcooled Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 nice one mate, think i'll go a quick blast after work tonight(overtime). take it easy alex 8) :wink:
liquidcooled Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 cant the forks be fixed tarkmalbot? what exactly is wrong with them?
liquidcooled Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 yes well where do they leak??!! :roll: a set of fork seals isnt the end of the world and doesnt necessitate a new set of forks that's why i asked!
Moderator YamaHead Posted June 8, 2004 Moderator Posted June 8, 2004 Well I get out Every evening for 22 miles before dinner.........on the way home from work! :wink: @ least with that kind of consistancy, it keeps me from riding like a Girl!
Admin Alex Posted June 8, 2004 Author Admin Posted June 8, 2004 Bloody hell i still havent gone yet! Gonna have to get ready shorlty or it will be dark :roll:
Moderator Beezkneez Posted June 9, 2004 Moderator Posted June 9, 2004 Alex "chicken strips" Asigno :wink: couple of laps around ya fav roundabout will get those babies sorted
TarkMalbot Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 yes well where do they leak??!! :roll: a set of fork seals isnt the end of the world and doesnt necessitate a new set of forks that's why i asked! the Stantions have pits in them and scores so even with new seals they started leaking again. The springs are too soft and they bottom out. It even did this just after i put new seals in with new thicker oil. So i thikn it either needs new springs and stantions (over £200) or just get a pair of forks of E-bay for about £30 :wink:
cousin it Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 with this fine weather I could not resist taking the bike out for a ride last night, unfortunatel as I'd taken the grab rail off I had to ride steady as the girlfriend was on the back, so now the grabrail is back on for the next trip as trying to keep up with a friend on his blade ( sorry for swearing) was a little tricky. now the grab rail is back on roll on next time :twisted: .
dibeydude85 Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 had to go fix my sisters exahust as it had fallen off... so took bike up there was nice but when i slipped it into 1st i hear this ALMIGHTY CRACK, i stuck it into 2nd with clutch still in at stationnery position and it its there again, really loud not just a rusty old gearbox crack, jesus felt like i was crunching it into 1st without the clutch.... got any ideas boys??
