ive never had one fail yet but i have had the neutral switch fail a few times as well as the clutch switch.

possibly the kill switch,as xxitanium says . are you trying to start it with the bike on the centre stand with the sidestand up. is it in gear and side stand down,is it in neutral and sidestand down but neutral light not on .if so its a faulty neutral switch . Just checked on my 99 model with bike in gear and sidestand down.the fuel pump still cycles .

40 psi.sport touring tyres have come a long way since buying my first blackbird.the bridgestones i used to run,i think they were bt 020 were kaput by around 10,000klms

the road 6's i had on my blackbird ,rear i replaced at 24'000klms and front was about 33'000 klms.the handling had gone off a few thousand klms before i replaced them but tread was still legal. speeds on open roads i would be doing between 100kph and 140 kph with occasional higher speeds.speed cameras everwhere in aus now. my bike is my everyday transport so lots of accelerating from lights to get way in front of cars,and if a bike happens to pull up next to me it becomes a race here the centres wear out first but in europe the centres are like new and the sides become like slicks within around 15'000 klms.

im going try this next time i need to replace hand grips

give these a try.the last blackbird i bought had them and i found them really comfortable.

it's going to be ok,your boy is onto it RFK Jr pledges to find the cause of autism by September https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj0z9nmzvdlo

there could be a market in cans of rolled coal

i saw similar here in aus with castrol oil.reading the description they were the same oil but different looking stickers with a $25 price difference

bmw have only been making drive shafts for motorcycles since 1923.they need to ask the japanese manufacturers how to make them reliable in the modern world . at least with drive chains i can monitor what it going on with the drive line rather than have a drive shaft fail in the middle of nowhere

yep. had the rear replaced nearly a year ago just before i headed over the other side of aus.just checked my records,the rear had about 23000klms on it and still not quite at the wear bar but not knowing how quick the last bit of tread would last i replaced it before heading across the nullabor. the front i replaced in melbourne with probably close to 28000klms on it.the last thousand or so klms the handling was starting to go off. the front now has just over 23000klms on it and still feels good . the shop put the road 6 gt on the rear for my trip over east which i just replaced on friday with 28450klms on it.still not at the wear bars but the handling had gone off.i had the normal road 6 fitted again as i prefer the feel of it when cornering. the road 6 are pricey but fuck they last and they grip.

Im impressed with the michelin road 6.i get 24000klms out of rear and 27000 out of front.

i have looked at partzilla previously but once you take into account the exchange rate and shipping it is about the same price as buying in aus. many years ago i was buying parts from superbike toystore in florida and chains and sprockets from the sprocket centre.our exchange rate was a lot better and postage was cheap.

depends if he is a good cunt or a right cunt.fuckin spic ? get a dog up ya, ya cunt

im in West aus so a lot of my parts i get online. chain and sprockets i have been buying from RPM MOTO in Queensland.i wait for them to have their sales and can get chain and sprockets delivered for less than just a chain in WA. Lately i have been buying oem parts from WEBIKE JAPAN.our exchange rate has been good at the moment.just keep an eye on postage costs.i order enough spares /consumables to keep it under the next step up in postage rates. i have ordered a stator,air and oil filters and neutral and clutch switches most of them at half price in comparison to Australia.delivery takes about a week. I have also ordered from BLUE City Motorcycles in Sth Aus.Postage from them has usually been around $7. EBC brake pads i get from the UK.works out around $70 per set delivered.just keep an eye on the exchange rate. I know a few people order from JAWS Motorcycles in the UK as well but i havent as yet.

this is part of an article from 2021. A recipe for ageing well The lifestyle ingredients of longevity are so routinely effective as to feel almost predictive of long life. Could there be a "recipe" for successful ageing? Regions around the world known as "blue zones" — where the populations have unusually high numbers of centenarians – offer clues. The islands of Sardinia in Italy, Ikaria in Greece and Okinawa in Japan as well as Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula and California's community of Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda make up five zones where residents outlive the rest of the world. Researchers have also distilled nine traits of these communities that are credited with underpinning each community's health. They include: Regular physical activity that is a part of the lifestyle like walking to the shops rather than using a vehicle. Having something meaningful that motivates you to get up every day. Rhythms and rituals that reduce stress. In Okinawa the women enjoy tea ceremonies, the Loma Linda religious community has prayer groups and in Italy and Greece the siesta fills the stress release gap. A healthy plant-based diet, that's also low in meat, fish and dairy. Not just a healthy diet, but eating patterns that favour being 80 per cent full, or "hara hachi bu" as Confucious used to teach. It's a philosophy that's been taken up by the Western wellness culture's 5:2 or 16:8 diet trends Blue zone cultures love a drink – but in very moderate amounts. Engaging in social groups that are focused around healthy activities. Religion is good for long life – perhaps because it encourages social connections and rituals offer a stress-reducing dimension.

many years ago i needed that hose for my 99 mdl.shop had to get it from japan so in the meantime i took the old hose with me to a car parts shop.i found a radiator hose from i think it was a datsun 120y that had the bends in the correct place.i just had to cut the ends down and it fitted perfectly.

nailed it.replaced the thermostat today and it is now running much cooler and cools down quicker after taking off from traffic lights. tested the old one in a pot of water on the stove and at full boil it only opened a few mm ( or poofteenth of an inch).

i replaced the water pump about 18 months ago when it started to drip from the hole at the bottom . it looks like the small hose that is mounted at the back of the thermostat housing and goes to the cold start wax unit has wept slightly as there was some dried coolant there. that hose is attached with a spring clip so no adjustment for tightening. i might be way off but im thinking thermostat playing up and restricting flow ,so the engine heats up to 104c before thermo opening creating more pressure at the back of the engine thus making the small hose leak slightly. or it could be a blockage in the radiator although the fins all look good and it drained down quick when i gave the system a flush. i ran the bike yesterday with the radiator cap off to see if the coolant flowed when the the thermostat opened at 104c and it did. ordered the thermostat from japan so will hopefully get it late next week.

cheers,I will order a new thermostat and radiator cap and see how it goes.

i had a look at the radiator fins the other day and they didnt look to bad.i used compressed air from the back and blew and bugs out. using the heat gun on the radiator it doesnt seem to be getting much over 90c was your 06 behaving in a similar manner?

would this be the thermostat or something else ? for years when i would start up my 06 xx from cold , the temp would go up to around 95c (203f) then drop to just under 80c (176f) then climb back up to mid 80's and sit in the range around 84-87 c (183f to 188f). the last few days, from cold it runs up to 104c (219f), fan kicks in around 98c-100c (208f-212f) then the temp slowly drops down to around 94c (201f) and then sit around 92c to 97c (197f-206f) When i turn the bike off for 5 minutes or so the temp gauge goes from high 90's c (194f) to when i turn the key on it reads low 80;s.once started the temp then quickly climbs back up again. I changed the coolant about 6 months ago,i only use the honda 50/50 mix, after flushing with distilled water. i gave it another flush today but it made no difference to its running. i put a heat reading gun on the back of the engine where the temp sender is and they read pretty close to each other.the thermostat housing either side of the temp gauge were reading about 10c (50f) lower . it's winter here at the moment so not riding in high temperatures.

i bought e22 litre panniers to use so i can still lane split.have used 36 litre panniers in the past but not being able to lane split a lot of the time negated the advantage of extra luggage capacity. one 22 litre pannier carries my tent with room left for a few smaller items,the other carries sleeping bag,air mattress,small stove and pot with cup and any other small items like summer or winter gloves. this is at a camp ground in spain.from memory it was around 8 or 9pm forgot to add,i made the rack myself out of square tubing and flat bar so that the panniers and top box sit as low and close to rear axle as practical
