WHATS going on LB moto mentalists?

Tumble weed in here!!

whats everyone been up to?

iv fitted some new hand gaurds and done my valves again , got it right this time… :blush: having the right feeler gauge and not trying to guess does help :wink:

gots some nice black forks and another less fooked shock (not fitted)

spent the rest of the day taking the crank out of this virago motor…

how the hel do you knacker the crank on a 535 virago??

I have charged my battery as decided it didn’t want to start on friday - also attached optimate leads

Changed the plastics to the black and grey ones to see if I prefer it over the yellow ones (undecided)

Ordered some new tyres (gratis from Maxxis) testing the supermaxx as have a few track days in the month and can easily swap to wets if raining

Bought some new mirrors not fitted yet

Some point I will get to ride it :cool:

nice!! pics please :slight_smile:

yeah we should hook up a ride for the next few weeks

Fresh oil and filters yesterday, ready for today and didn’t go anywhere :angry:

So back to garage today and after few beers, cleaned and oiled air filter for first time :slight_smile:

I need speedo sensor or whole cable if any anyone have spare.

cool i hope you didnt put to much oil in it!!

have you got a hole in the caliper for the speedo cable and sensor?

100 ml to each of oil filter casings and 1l into engine.
Can only see on the bottom of the sight glass.

There is magnet in the disc, but calliper doesn’t have the hole.
I have cable but last part with sensor and connector is missing and ktm dealer said that I can not buy it separate and whole cable will cost £37 so checking for used one first.

My bikes looking very clean and shiny… um well okay its filthy but i dont care :w00t: Ive not changed the oil or filters for easily the last 1,000miles :stuck_out_tongue: Was out on it yesterday in the pissing down rain along with MD, Sneaky(on moonshines moto) and Jetstream came along for the ride too :cool:It was made to be used and abused and the only one thing that ever give me problems is that damn nut on the end of the crank.

Off to Germany this week though(for 4 years :w00t: ). Gona treat the bike to a suspension service at some point and gona go for a full engine rebuild before the inevital happens and possibly the 540 kit if ive got the cash to splash :wink:

i got cable here dude they fix onto the fork guard;) we are still out riding found great new lanes out kent way sunday.

Mmmm, nice toys Adz. I miss my DRZ :frowning:

Keep that cable for me please, kent sounds good, will be easer to get there next time.

Aaaaaghhh!

I want a moto!

:crazy::crying::Whistling:

well stop asking silly money for ya cbr then;):stuck_out_tongue: lol dhofty get the beringer brake much better. yes johhny foreigner il keep the cable here for whe ya next down, kent nearer for you lot anyhows so no excuses for rides lol

yeah i got to say the beringer FTE radial M/C is way better than the ISR i had on there. and thats the standard SMR one not the bling bling after market one in that pic!!

They got more feel than the brembo you have to daz.

im tempted to get an Radial SMR for bottom for my new forks but i think ill keep them as they are as the mint and hold out for some proper SM spec radial forks…

LEE!!! :cool:

still need my bike on your dyno Lee, just need to find the fooooking time to do it…

yeah no worries dyno works picked up again had a few 450’s in last week, nice dea getting radial forks but then you gota get the brakes nice for bling factor but you dont need them and a waste of mullar, better spent on a mod youl actually use like engine work slipper suspention blah blah

Have done:

  • Swapped the standard suspension to a nice Wilbers shock and some stiffer fork springs a while ago.

  • Fitted a ProXtreme front tyre.

Need doing:

  • Sort the front MC

  • Wash the bike, in particular the shedload of crap in the chain.

  • Learn to ride the thing faster :stuck_out_tongue:

And before anybody starts. Yes, I know, it’s not a moto, just a gay commuter tractor, I don’t even know what I’m doing here :hehe:

yeah i have and FTE radial caliper lee, i just want to keep my off road forks for MX tracks and going to wales so dont want to mod them.

you not got the gsxr any more then adz?
