  1. I'm still on the original tires delivered with the bike, and last month while it was

    a little moist on the road the front wheel locked up. This have never happened before, and

    I recon that it was because it was a bit wet it behaved like this. Last week we was driving

    home from a bikerally with about 90F, sunny and it was perfect. I came a bit fast toward the car

    in front of me after passing another, and used 2 fingers on the brake handle to slow down.

    The fucking tire lost it and locked up. :icon_shocked: WTF :icon_eek:

    The damn tires isn't half worn, but I don't trust them.

    Thinking about Dunlop Sportmax roadsmart.

    Anyone in here tried out a set ?

  2. It's all taken care of now.

    Thanks a lot for all your answers. :)

    I just ordered a brand-new set from David Silver Spares in England, since I was'nt able to find any used ones.

    It cost me about $295 including taxes and delivery.

    Alt for dyrt kompis :icon_biggrin:

  3. Also it could very well be the starter-motor.

    I've had a customer with the same problem. When the bike was hot the startermotor jammed, and would not turn. The lights went out due to overload in the electrical system, and nothing happened. It was easy to push-start the engine, even though it was an injected bike (there was enough juice in the battery left for the fuel pump and ECU).

    After replacing the starter motor everything was OK.

    His battery died a few weeks later, probably because of the beating it had taken with all the effort it had to make to start the bike before.

    That happened to my car. The starter had a needle bearing, and one of those fuckers got out inside the housing and short circuited the whole thing.

    Ruth thought the battery was flat, and she got jumper cables connected t another car on idle. When she tried to start the cables caught fire and

    melted, and the starter was glowing red and all oil and dirt covering it burned off. The garage tried the ignition when they got it and the volt

    dropped down to 4 when they tried to turn it. The damn thing sucked up all the juice.

  4. Tried to order another set today, but shippingrates not fixed. :icon_naughty:

    PM sent.

    The barcets I got workes perfect. had to file down the side at the left mount.

    5 sec of filing made it perfect. Didn't lower the brake level.

    With my size 12 shoes I didn't feele the difference. No problem using the

    brake level. :icon_biggrin:

    I'll just ship you out a set and invoice you whatever the total turns out to be. I need to order more, so I probably won't have them in stock until Wednesday.

    Thanks.

    Pls. set value at $25 to get it through customs :icon_whistle:

  5. Honda and R/R is a weakness.

    A friend of mine have a 1992 CBR 900 Fireblade and on the first trip

    that season a couple of years ago it started burning under the saddle.

    She ripped off the saddle and used beer she had with here and

    extinguished the flames. (Misuse of alcohol I told here)

    The R/R and the fusebox was all melted. I guess the wires corroded

    and short-circuited during the winter.
