Hi all, Just got me a double bubble iridium screen and wondered what the stance is with the law and the tint of the bike screen. I know the visors for helmets are not legal but what about the screens on the bike? I think they are legal since you don't see through the screen @ legal speeds

What's the wear rate like?

I got some Pirelli Supercorsa Pro, very very sticky hence they have not lasted well. They like a warm road to give you the best. I've done 900 miles and they're half gone, maybe it's the way I ride Next time I'll get Diablo Corsa III, three zones so should give me better millage on the Mway. I should have got these first as was recomended but wanted some super sticky stuff, and blimey the're sticky, good fun Not so nice with lots of standing water so don't get caught in a thunderstorm!

Looks good

Very nice indeed There's a change of wheel strip to white or red (both pictured)? I think the white is better, personally

Yep, or get a used and abused 2nd hand, rebuild where required and then you've still got the pride and joy for normal road use. Or, make sure your the fastest on the track Some track days allow hire of bikes with £500 deposit (any mark and you've lost it), could be cheaper if you want to go to the extreme.

When I was looking I phoned Thruxton but they don't do bikes

Would you recommend for an R1 also?

Tell her you got cheaper insurance by not taking pillion cover

Front wheel double ended socket!! Sorry it's the spark plug thingie!!

Hi all, I am thinking of doing a novice track day, the legal way to enjoy the full power of the bike (makes a change!) Those of you that have already done this, can you share some wisdom/advice for me (and the bike) on track riding? I suspect my brakes and tyres will be shot after the event, should I do anything to the bike (out of the norm) before riding? I was thinking of going to Snetterton circuit (2 weeks time), unless people can suggest a better circuit Thanks

Take some paracetamol to ease the grin , I still have not stopped after getting mine a month ago!

Nice shine on that machine I'm not far from you guys either

Pads OK, maybe a bit close to the limit. Best to change, I'll do the hoses while I'm at it should be changed after 5 years anyway. Thanks

Hi, My standard kit (01 R1) has: Allen key for the front wheel lock Rear wheel spanner (32) Front wheel double ended socket Rear suspension pre-load C spanner Extension bar for the rear wheel spanner and r. suspension pre load 3 spanners, 8 & 10, 10 & 12 and 12 & 14. Pliers Screwdirver with a flat/phillips (no 2) combo insert and a single phillips (no 3) insert Hope that helps

Looks better with the TZR wheels , I was thinking of doing the same with mine, any problems doing it?

Level OK and could ask previous owner when fluid replaced last but they are rock solid, no sponge. Looks like I'll be enjoying the BH with fw out and inspecting pads/discs , still no fun having no brakes is it!! Thanks for the advice, let you know what I find!

Hi all, Exiting the Mway under light front braking I am getting vibration from through the bars. If I apply firm or hard front braking I have no vibes, can anyone offer advice. I have no excess play in the headset, all front wheel bolts secured, 800 mile worn in front tyre and good depth on front pads. I have not checked the front discs for warp yet, seems unlikely since very lightly worn. Wonder if brake pressure in one side lower causing light grabbing of the disc Thanks for any help

Can't comment on the price of the bike but seems OK, low milage, I assume dry miles only. Personally I would ditch the lid and get your own. Only needs to have been dropped once for it not to work when you really need it to Apart from that welcome and enjoy

, I am also new to the forum. Any pics of your bike?

Thanks for the welcome, hope you get a replacement power house soon. I have only had the bike a few weeks and I wonder why I ever stopped (apart from insurance costs and a nasty accident in the wet (tarmac banding) ).

I am also a new member, have you got any pics up yet?

If they're shit I'll let you have a laugh at my expense
