moved to victoria from london about 7weeks ago

G'day were abouts in aus are you

been away from the internet for a while nice to see you are still fixing it yourself well done keep up the good work.

cheers mate had a look they are the same size as the goodridge ones but half the money.

hey guys does any one know who does in line brake light switches? i have rear sets on my R1 and the goodridge one will not fit cheers guys Dan

i think they do fit from what i can remember it might that the rear disc is a different size.

hey daz and welcome from another R1 rider

also my bottom would be eating my thong...... i know that feeling all to well

sounds like my road .i live near wimbldon but do alot of work in the less desirable areas so i know what you mean normally keep a six cell mag light with me while driving lol

hey Michelle don't forget to let us know how you get on.

no it's not just you i thought it was the crap tyres on me van but on roundabouts the traction control light flashes like it's going to explode and i can feel the abs working when braking not good

we are moving to melbourn not far from phillip island(woo hoo track days 4 me peguins for the kids)in jan

i'm with bennets direct and pay about 200 quid but have a surrey post code

i've just had the carbs apart on my 98 r1 as long as you've got a nice clean work area where you can lay everything out as you take it apart it should'nt be to bad just make sure you have a decent set of screwdrivers because some of the screws are a bit soft and will round off very easaly

i've got bt 014s on my r1 no problems with them wet or dry but i use racetecs in the summer

G day mate moving to aus in jan in two minds about taking my bike whats it like out there.

this size thing has got to stop

i tend to wipe the old lube off with petrol on a rag once a month and lube once a week after riding while the chain is hot with rock oil chain lube no fling off adjust the chain once a year

the fuel tap no my r1 only has an off postion because the electric fuel pump primes the carbs

don't forget tyres take a far while to get warm cold tyre =no grip on a bike with a bit of power even with super sticky tyres .

i've always put lockwire around the grips just make sure they don't slip like they do on motorcross bikes.

1 more thing to remember is to not tense up and hold onto the bars for grim death this will have an adverse affect on your bike control try to keep a nice relaxed grip if you feel yourself tense up try and wiggle your fingers.happy riding

no problem glad to help

thats enough i only got through a couple of pages my ribs hurt now
