    helmet or not what do you say.

    In Oz you have to wear a helmet,exemptions no longer apply .I always wear a full face .A friend Diana wore an open face to her 1st accident and was still having plastic surgery 15 years after it.I advised my friend Paula to start wearing a full face and she spent $500 on a shoei .A week later...

    Arcing from plastic!?

    I have seen sparkplug leads and caps breaking down and shorting out which is what your leads seem to be doing .So I would replace your leads 7mm and your caps /boots and I think you can live without the plastic covers as well.You can damage your coils [maybe]but your bike will definitely run...

    Tokico calipers

    When I fitted Nissin calipers and adaptor plates to my 86 I had to use 2 washers to stop the caliper rubbing on the rotor and when I changed to a yzf front wheel I had to file the brake pad locating thingy inside the caliper to stop it rubbing on the rotor.It would seem nothing is symetrical...

    xj 900 diversion wheels

    It is correct that you can't fit anything bigger than a 170 ,I use a 160 Battleax and my tyre fitter won't sell me a 170 because he thinks that itis too big for the rim and a waste cause you can't get out to the edge safely .I get to about 5 mm from the edge and I'm not a hang off sort of a...
