    downshifting is just trying to match engine speed with rear wheel speed by blipping the throttle. catch it right and it happens. the 1st and 2nd gear change is probably due to the large amount of torque going through the box which could damage the dogs if your gunning it regularly. normal riding, its not such an issue. I still use the clutch out of habit

  7. THE ORGANISERS OF the controversially named club night C.U.N.T. have put together a montage of attendees who think they’re having their photo taken, but who are in fact being filmed. It is a thing of beauty, mostly thanks to the fact that most of those who feature are of the mirror-loving hipster variety. Watch as they pout, desperate for the love of the camera, yearning for a flash that will never come.

    super glue the zip with the thick stuff just before you go out. hopefully he will go straight for the bag and you have him. if he doesn't it will just dry and you can try again.
  12. should be fine mate
  13. please use a bike oil, there are friction modifiers in car oil with will cause your clutch to slip. if the recommendation is 10w 30 I'd be happy to put that in
  14. As I've said, i use dev111 atf fluid in the Gilera need to check the specs for your bike, could be a straight weight or multi

    jeez, good job it was a heavy bike to take the impact. whiplash will kick in up to a week later certainly after the adrenalin wears off glad you're fairly OK though

    aye, been doing since 13, son taken it up too my fave is my Takamine acoustic. Building a Dean caddy (very slowly) and have about 5 guitars in all.
  19. gear oil has different properties than engine oil. For one its specific for gears and the increased compression loading on gears. Also gear oil foams less. Foaming comprises of air rather than oil, which is not good for protection. yes I know 4 strokes have combined gear and engine oil but the engine is designed with baffles plates etc. I personally would use engine oil on a 2 stroke.
  20. grey sounds like alloy in the oil was there any bits/chunks in the waste? I use ATF in the Gilera and that's red.

    you would need to shape the rear frame for a seat like that. You will have to relocated all the electrics, smaller battery and then make a hoop for the rear and get it welded on. can't do one thing without changing something else I'm afraid. that actual seat bit is the easiest
  22. You can't help being touched by the heroics of some folk,

    if they get hot, they will tarnish. if you get a double wall down pipe then it won't tarnish.(never seen them though) there is a product called blue away which gets rid of it
