cyronn Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) nice fix. My KTM 950 ADV S is due for MOT next week. Last time I used it was for last years MOT lol. I'm playing around with the idea of selling both bikes and getting either a 2010 ish fireblade or a 2009/2010 R1. But what's holding me back is that fact, I love my mint zx6r 03, especially with my hp corse exhaust it sounds mean (I am told its to loud but gtfo). On the other hand I''ve always wanted a 1000cc bike so hmm.... decisions decisions. Plus yes still not fitted the pc3 and quickshifter on the zx6r yet....... Reason why is because I will have to pay around 600 notes to get it tuned right on the dyno just don't have that spare cash atmo.

evssv Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) 600....that seems way to much to set up a pc............the ones I`ve had mapped....never cost no were near that......my dl...gsxr...sv....done twice now.............and 1000cc bikes......u need to experience one imo...........I did around 50miles after I fixed the filter and it ran no different far as I could tell....

NITO Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Clutch slave failed on my Caponord on its last outing a couple of months back so this came in the post today to replace the notoriously problematic stock one... Looking forward to getting it back up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissT Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Garages are stirring with activity and it's nowhere near spring yet. Today I started the scoot's engine for the first time in about 6 weeks. I checked the tyres and lights, decided it was peeing down far too much and locked it up again 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
