  1. After rewatching it, I failed to notice the BMW brake lights flashing as it started an emergency stop and also it's hazard lights. I guess the other issue is pupil dilation and from the light going bright dark bright dark.
  2. So far looking good, fingers crossed this is the problem solved, looks this way from the data, but please let me know if you notice any issues.
  3. Well had a close call on the way to work. To be completely honest here I'm 50:50 whether this was my mistake or just bad luck. I always keep to the left on this particular exit as the road merges ahead and it gives me the space to run off to the left if anything like the video were to happen. Don't want to say more than above, will let you guys critique.
  4. Well the issue has now been passed to their advanced team, hopefully this gets fixed in time for the weekend.
  5. Still having the same ongoing issue I'm afraid. The forum keeps trying to write a 70k to a database table until it gets full then the server crashes. I've raised the issue with IPB but they still haven't got back to me on it. Getting frustrating, the only option is to restart the server and wait until it crashes again. But not as easy as just hitting restart unfortunatly. I've defaulted the default theme just to see if it resolved any issues, it didn't, but this is what the IT team will first look at so keeping it as is until resolved.
  6. Sorry guys, this last upgrade to v5 of IPB hasn't been great, I've got multiple errors with their team to look at. There's just been another update this morning, I'm hoping this has finally resolved it. Please let me know if you still experience issues. A screenshot would be great if you notice antyhing. Thanks for your patience and sorry again. Been a massive headache to me too.
  7. Well good news all sorted now, $1450 of work. Feel like it's getting to the stage I need a new bike :D
  8. Sorry had a geriatic moment and was thinking of @Mr Bignel ! Yeah when I spoke to the local Yamaha dealer about a rough idea of time a few weeks back to fix it, they told me it might be cheaper to buy a second hand engine if it's gone. After looking into it more I can see why, having the split the gearbox and engine and then take the shaft out to replace the bearings it's pretty much overhaul time. Took into the garage this morning, hopefully there's no unexected findings.
  9. Hey welcome back. I've never been so pleased to be wrong!
  10. Well, my whining output shaft noise had been getting worse, so I took the bike to the garage to get an idea of the cost. They did what I’d been too lazy to do, stripped the back wheel and sprocket cover. After removing the front sprocket, it was clear the sprocket had worn one side quite a bit, hadn’t been aligned properly. It was also quite worn, I didnt even think to check this as the chain and sprockets had only done about 5k km on it. Obv crappy material. Thankfully, the output shaft spun freely with no clicking, phew! That was great to see. Turns out the rear wheel bearing was the main culprit, followed by the front sprocket, which explains why I thought the noise was coming from the front. I’m honestly so relieved to be wrong, a wheel bearing, chain, and sprocket are a lot better than having to pull the engine and split the gearbox casing. Hate to think what that would’ve cost! It’s booked in for Monday for some much needed love and care, something I embarrassingly haven’t given it for a while.
  11. Ease of Use: The Kettenmax Premium is so user-friendly, you might mistake it for your new best friend. The instructions are clearer than the sky on a perfect riding day, making assembly easier than finding an excuse to hit the open road. However, don't be fooled into thinking this is a one-handed, "look ma, no hands!" operation. The chain cleaner has a tendency to dance around during use, requiring you to steady it with one hand while wielding your cleaning solution like a master swordsman with the other. A minor inconvenience, but it's all part of the bonding experience with your beloved two-wheeled steed. Premium Features: The Kettenmax Premium outshines its standard sibling like a high-performance engine roaring past a moped. With four different brush sizes that eliminate the need for arts and crafts time (no more cutting brushes!), you can ensure your chain is treated with the utmost care and precision, regardless of its size. The improved brush system is like a tiny army of scrubbing warriors, fighting against the forces of dirt and grime to restore your chain to its former glory. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: the bag that catches excess cleaner and lubricant like a skilled juggler. Gone are the days of the sad little hose dripping on your driveway, making way for a more convenient and cleaner experience, ensuring your workspace remains as immaculate as your chain. Cleaning Performance: The cleaning brushes on the Kettenmax Premium are more relentless than a biker who's had one too many cups of coffee. They fearlessly tackle built-up dirt and grime, leaving no stone unturned or chain link uncleaned. However, like the end of a thrilling ride, the real challenge begins when it's time to clean the Kettenmax Premium itself. The device drips cleaner and the small crevices are a magnet for grime, making cleaning the device a bit of a wild goose chase. But hey, nobody ever said the life of a biker was easy! Lubrication Performance: Picture this: after an epic clash with dirt and grime, your chain emerges victorious, ready for the grand finale. It's time to pamper your valiant chain with the smooth caress of lubricant. But wait! Why must you first clean the Kettenmax before diving into the world of lubrication? Fear not, for even though cleaning the device is a bit of a challenge, keeping the inside dirty and using it solely for cleaning doesn't hamper its effectiveness. After all, spraying lubricant on your chain is like icing on a cake – effortless and oh-so-satisfying – and doesn't require a fancy contraption to get the job done. So, go forth and spray lubricant direct from a can with confidence, knowing that you've got the best of both worlds at your fingertips. Quality and Durability: The Kettenmax Premium is well built, with a thick high-quality plastic. The brushes seem like they'll be good for a years typical riding. In conclusion, if you're looking for a chain cleaning device that's as reliable as your trusty leather jacket and has a personality to match, look no further this is the best I've come across. With its ease of use and impressive cleaning, it's a match made in biker heaven. Just remember to hold onto it like you would your motorcycle on a winding mountain road, and be prepared for a little post-cleaning. RATING ★★★★☆ 4 out of 5 stars – the Kettenmax Premium is like a good hair day for your motorcycle chain. Not quite perfection, but pretty darn close! Apology: Oops, my bad! I was so engrossed in the cleaning process that I forgot to snap some before pics. But fear not, dear readers, I promise to remember next time I need to spruce up my dirty chain. I'll even throw in a bonus video of the cleaner doing its thing.
  12. The slack should be between 5-7mm, looks like you need a new chain and sprockets for the starter. It's probably rattling already, and may risk jumping which could crack the housing.
  13. Regulation 27 (Restrictions on the use of lamps) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/regulation/27 The Highway Code says to use dipped headlights in daylight if visibility is reduced, and to only use main beam when it won’t dazzle others. Using main beam in the day isn’t illegal per se, the law says main beam headlights must not be used if they cause dazzle or discomfort to other road users. During bright daylight, they usually won’t dazzle, but in lower light or if you’re directly behind someone, they can. So technically it’s not outright banned, but if it’s judged to be dazzling, it can be an offence.
  14. True but there is less force on the output shaft as much lower torque. I was hoping I may hear a difference to identify the fault, but windnoise and bike noise make it too hard.
  15. Well it's been almost two weeks of me driving like an ass with my full beam on, well day time only. Haven't had one person pull out yet. Obvisouly on a small time line and a sample size of one this could be totally irrelevant. But feels like people are seeing me easier.
