  1. On the TDM I use a block of wood under the side stand then its a lot easier just to tip the last few cm's. I've since learned that if its on the side stand and the oil just peeps through the bottom, then that's full on upright position too
  2. hate those windows, have to be in the praying position every time to check whilst balancing the bike on tipping point
  3. probably on the XJ owners site there will be. to the YOC

    Visors/Pinlocks

    The yellow tint filters out blue light, giving you sharper vision in misty, rainy or dull conditions.
  6. might be that the blanks are special, I had to buy a blank for my key cutter to use as he doesn't get those in any quantity http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-MOTORBIKE-Scooter-IGNITION-key-blank-with-blade-SUITABLE-Yamaha-M12-/181757444885?hash=item2a51968315:g:qA8AAOSwQItUFvf8 check the "scallops" on yours to see if they match the blank ones

    good thanks, just supercharging the xs but also bought a TDM 850 for a euro jaunt next year. Look forward to see how you progress
  12. should make a movie of your life. At least its not a boring exsistence
  13. its like Switzerland as one of my staff said, which is pretty much what's its like. except there quite a few bikes there
  14. Couldn't decide where to go when I woke up this morning, then I realised that I've not been to Matlock for a while. Went via the 2 most dangerous roads in Britan (read, twisty roads) the Cat and Fiddle and that road into Comberford. lovely day hasd a brew and bacon egg sarnie near the river
  15. I bought some of that sheeting for an 8 x 6 shed roof, cost over £100. Its not cheep said the sparrow.
  16. wehnTommy and I were at Barnsley a few years ago, there was this immaculate suzi Gt, just restrored. he ground his main stand away in 20 mins
  17. I use a really sticky off road one which is clear. I first clean and wipe the chain down, then bob a bit of white paint or tippex on one plate. this is so i don't overoil and waste the product. I then spray inside the chain between the rollers and plates (thats two sides). Its best done after a ride when the chain is warm as it promotes the oil to get inside the links. leave to dry overnight. I still get the spray but you need to get close to see
  18. depends on how far your going to lean? take it off if you like, just make sure the chain is well adjusted beforehand should be a great day especially if it doesn't rain, have fun
  19. Mine would say "bloody hot" found the stuff here https://www.proto-pic.co.uk/thermochromatic-pigment-black-20g.html?gclid=CM30gMvCtc8CFecp0wodft4D-w it turns transparant when heated, so you paint whatever underneath, put on the thermochomatic top coat to cover.
