Went to help the old fella fit new clutch plates for the Z1000 today. He'd already swapped them by the time I got round there: "piece of piss compared to the Triumph!" I don't doubt that
So, new oil and filter. Spec is 10W40, maybe you'd go as high as 20W50 if racing or in a hot climate. Anyhoo, he's bought 5W40 car oil, at least it's synthetic I suppose ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Hooked the KDX up to a 12v battery and made it go go ring ding. The missus wasnt happy about the amount of smoke. Whoops. Add your own Ring Ding noises as Imgur doesnt embed properly.

Dropped oil and changed filter on the Crosrunner, added hydraulic lifter treatment, which surprisingly worked well. Added an ignition and a GPS Speedo to the KDX.
Ordered a new rear tyre for the Crosrunner, and a 12v Li-Ion pack for the KDX. ____________________ '98 VFR800 (touring) - '12 VFR800 Crosrunner (Commuting) - '01 KDX220 (Big Green Antisocial Machine) |

I rode mine to CMC for the demo day purely to snag a free t-shirt. They made me test ride a Tracer 9 GT in exchange.
It made me realise a few things.
1. I have short legs, seat was in the high position, but I was on tippy toes if I tried to put both feet down, reading reviews the seat height is supposed to be low, looks like I won’t be buying that GSA after all.
2. My meteor isn’t that slow, until it really is. Round town the tracer felt reasonably similar, until I cracked the throttle then fuck me! I’ve not ridden anything bigger than an ER6 before and not one of them for a year or so. Overtakes we’re stupidly easy, as was joining the motorway which showed me…
3. Screens can be horrible. Jeez, I actually preferred the meteor on the motorway, it was like being clubbed over the head constantly above 65, didn’t matter what the screen height was set too it was horrible. I thought the mirrors were vibrating but it was my eyes, not fun.
4. Quickshifters are amazing. I need one.
Would I buy one? Maybe, would have to sort the screen, probably a bit overkill speed wise and would need to try the seat in the low position to make sure it was something I’d be confident on in city traffic.
Certainly looking at something with a bit more poke, could probably trip 5-10 mins off a long commute just brapping past dawdlers. ____________________ Yamaha Vity 125 (gone) Kawasaki ER6N(dead) 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (nicked) 2003 DL1000 V Strom |

I've been riding my MT10 in mode 2, haven't felt the need to use mode 1 yet, had the front wheel floating under heavy
acceleration in 4th at 110 during a spirited sprint on the M4 a couple of days ago. Mode 1 can fck off for a while, 2 is
plenty. I had an MT09 and an ER6f before that and the 10 feels like a similar jump in power from 09 to 10 as the
MT09 felt from the ER6f. I do miss the extra space on my departed MT09, I feel more cramped on the 10. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Been out on mine to work and back the last 2 weeks as the weather finally finished falling out of its arse.
I NEED/WANT a quickshifter because the bloke currently in charge of that is not and never will be. There a couple of junctions around here as you head towards the crooked chimney /around old Welwyn that would be brilliant with that.
2nd/3rd gear are stupidly fast/fun when get things over 7k.
No CAT/headers/Arrow cans etc are stupidly loud - never changing that!
I want a new lid with proper built in bluetooth - the exterior one causes as bunch of whistling in the airflow that is frankly unpleasant.
Averaging 50mpg which is hilarious given the fun factor.
Oh and @Prawny - my CFO lent me the $$$$ to buy this originally and at a very preferential rate of 0% She even stated the original exhausts were gopping and that I must change them at the earliest opportunity
Still can't imagine swapping this out for anything else. ____________________ Module 1 and 2 passed - October 2014. Happy owner of a 2017 Z1000SX, ex owner of a YBR125 / CB500 / VFR800. |
